brianstl Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I was only a kid when Roland played, but the extra distance wouldn't have made much or any difference in his percentage. Roland's game was a couple of decades ahead of his time. The way the game is played now he would have put up even bigger numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 According to Roy Schmidt, Bartley's transferring to SIU-Carbondale. "Southern IL Univ & HC Barry Hinson have landed a highly significant transfer in 6'4 PG Marcus Bartley. Will have 2 yrs of eligibility."

3star_recruit Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 SIU's starting point guard graduates in 2017 and their incoming point guard could redshirt this year due to injury. Looks like a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was talked out of it and then changed his mind again. 20 year olds!!! If in fact this is his decision, it is more interesting now. Which has more value, a degree from SLU or a degree from SIU-C? Easy answer. Stick it out, get your degree from SLU. So what if your minutes dwindle as a senior. You aren't going to play in the League, so look to the future a little farther than the next two basketball seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much difference to anyone outside of SLU & SIU grads between an SIU degree and a SLU degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 KM...I have a feeling this will rattle the branches. An aerospace engineering degree from SLU (which I have) is incredibly more valuable than an engineering SIU degree. You might be able to make the argument that the SIU degree is a better VALUE with its much lower tuition, but you are just wrong to say there is no difference in how each school's degree is viewed by corporations/employers/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You think there's a difference in how employers will view a degree in sports business between the two schools? 'Cause that's Bartley's major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause that's Bartley's major. Interesting, I wonder if SIUC even offers that program. Although, he may be early enough in his career that he may not have taken many major specific courses. I would be curious what jobs kids from the SLU sports business program are walking into. Seems like a fairly niche major that may not be necessary.

SLU_Nick Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 8 hours ago, majerus mojo said: fixed it Haha, perfect edit Mojo. I guess I do take issue with a SLU degree being viewed equivalent to a SIUC degree. I acknowledge that Notre Dame, Georgetown, etc are a cut about SLU, but I just dont think that a SLU grad is viewed the same as a SIUC grad in the job marketplace (given the same major) As for the sports business side, I have no idea, but I would wager that (in general) the Cook business school has more corporate contacts and door-opening opportunities that lead to well-paying jobs than that of SIUC. But I am sure someone is ready to tell me I am wrong on that front too. I enjoy the discussion and will be happy to be educated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 If this were really about academics, which it obviously isn't, where would the fact Marcus now gets a 5th free year of school fit in? Is a double major or MBA more valuable than a SLU degree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I have a business degree from SLU. I've never felt it gave me any sort of advantage in the job marketplace. I'm sure it's better than something from Phoenix online, but unless you're specialized I don't know if it really matters especially after you work a job out of school.

cheeseman Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It is better than Phoenix online - don't be silly. It has more weight in StL then other places and other real degrees. I am not sure any sports business degree is worth much of anything from practically anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Iken Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hey, I was lambasted for bringing up academics in the context of the rather odd collection of schools Miles Reynolds was looking at when transferring... I just don't get some 20 year olds... My favourite this year though are the twins that transferred from Brown to Florida Atlantic. What are they thinking (hand on head...)?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Maybe Brown was just too challenging. Re SIU: My neighbor, an older retired senior from Chicago, from across the street here in the Asheville, NC area, said when he was in HS he wasn't the best student. Ended up going to Community College in Chicago. Then went on to SIU, average student. Admitted back in the 60s when he attended SIU it was where all the dummies from Chicago went (his words). Joined the Peace Corps and spent several years in Columbia, in fact met his wife in Columbia. Returned to the Washington DC area. Got a Masters and PhD in Biology from Georgetown. Taught Biology, attained full professorship, for almost 40 years at UNC Chapel Hill. I guess some people can be late bloomers. Nice guy, when SLU vs SIU on TV, I always invite him over and enjoy some Asheville craft beer watching the game. He attended SIU when Clyde Frazier played for SIU and still keeps up with the Salukis. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
