Tonka Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Good luck, Milik! Great job on the goodbye tweet! I hope you do well with your new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkielBreakers Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm a bit embarrassed at the "good riddance" stance some are taking about his deciding to leave This is a young man who just made what I am sure was a very tough decision and a decision I am sure he never envisioned having to make when he signed on to play here All the best Milik! We will be pulling for you wherever you end up Or a year ago when he was one of the few bright spots on the roster. But, as this year went on it became painfully obvious that he was not developing. When he was grabbing rebounds and advancing the length of the floor, putting up a junk shot without even considering the others on the floor, or an offense, I kind of felt like maybe he was in need of a readjustment. Good luck to him. If he focuses on developing he could have a bright future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Even Coach Crews beat GW this year. I'm considering it a good thing we didn't get Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Talent isn't everything. Mindset is a key as well. After some of his early FR games I thought he might have more talent than Evans. He may have but not the team first attitude or work ethic. Too bad, but good luck. I'd suggest a low level D1 where he may get the chance to be the best and first option. I doubt Ford's heart is breaking over this development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I wish he would've stayed. If Coach Ford could get through to him he had big upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Count me in the camp of those disappointed by Milik leaving. He was extremely frustrating to watch, seemed selfish, and his body language was terrible. But you could tell he had talent and just needed coaching and proper mentorship. He obviously never got that from the previous coaching regime. Hopefully he gets that at his next stop. It may also be a good thing that he has to sit a year to practice and develop a relationship with a new coach and team. Good luck, Milik. Wish it would've worked out for you here.

gravilst Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 MY has an incredible "physical" skill set, he just did not have the basketball IQ equal to that. I still like MR and DR and believe under better coaching they could really improve....just sucks that 2 years of their careers are already gone. BJ is another guy who just doesn't seem to click with the pace this level requires. I just really hope MN, and EW stay. Best of luck to anyone that leaves.

billikens747 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't lament the loss of Milik at all. He's number 1 for a reason. It was all about him. Terrible teammate. You could see that from the stands. Crews and his staff get a ton of blame for his lack of development but Milik was never in shape and never knew our offensive or defensive schemes. Everyone on the roster can and should be recruited over. We had offensive schemes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The MY bashing by the young alumni is ridiculous. Talented player that would have flourished under Ford. Best of luck, Milik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJK Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I thought he had a ton of potential under Ford. I do think we will see him do well somewhere on the D1 level. Best of luck dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm disappointed MY is leaving SLU. I was hoping he would be a good player with Coach Ford. The talent is there. Another school will take an All A10 Freshman team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Im pissed at the way MY played during his two years here, but im more pissed at the coaching staff for the way they preped and coached him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSLU68 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If players stay they will have to play better than they did for Crews. The bigs are going to look like malnourished pansies compared to Big 12 players Travis Ford is used to seeing. It is not acceptable to stay skinny and get pushed around. MY did not look like he was in shape. Sitting on the bench does not do that by itself if you play hard in practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Players were asked/told not to request a release until after a new coach was announced. Seems fair. My guess is that Milik was gone no matter who we brought in. Here is a thought. Milik should declare for the NBA draft and see if he gets invited to the camp. There is zero down side on this now that the new rule is in effect. A player can declare three times in his college career. The entire KY team has declared so why not Milik? If he makes it to the camp, Milik would get a good view on how he measures up and would get a critique on what he needs to work on. If he doesn't get invited, then that is another message for him. I would also like to state that the tweet from Milik was classy. It was well thought out and well written. No bridges were burned. Good luck young man.

Scoop Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I think DR could be ok under Ford if he brings the right attitude. Jolly needs to go to Lindenwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I am not sure jolly would be effective even at a D2 or D3 level. Frankly I think he is an intramural player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
