philliken Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Willie made his debut with the Miami Heat last night. He had a great showing in relief of Whiteside. 17 minutes - 5-6 FG (10 pts), 6 reb (3 off), 1 ast, 1 blk, 0 TO, +7 +/-, and only 1 PF (which has plagued him in the NBA/NBDL) Good for Willie. Hope he can have a solid season. Any extra positive attention for SLU (no matter how minor); is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Pulling for Willie. As noted in the other thread its awesome to see him rep SLU still. A lot if not most people would have turned their back on a program given what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Is he even allowed on campus? I've heard from several people that he is still banned. Would be really nice to have that lifted if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The SLU Men's Basketball Twitter account tweeted about his game, so they are at least marketing our programs current NBA player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 No, he came back and enrolled in classes. He only dropped out after midterms. I'm not sure why'd be banned from campus after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Willie did come back, but he just wasn't allowed to play / practice with the team until he got his academics in order. He couldn't do that so he dropped out and entered the NBA draft.

He didn't come back because he didn't want to give the university and apology. He was back in school and then stopped going to classes. Quote "Willie Reed stopped attending classes a few weeks ago," the university said in a statement, "returned his textbooks and voluntarily moved out of his residence hall the last week of March. Because Willie failed to meet the terms of his reinstatement as a student at St. Louis University, he was administratively withdrawn from his classes on April 5, 2011 and is no longer enrolled." http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/willie-reed-done-at-slu/article_981d3d8a-622a-11e0-9201-0019bb30f31a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he did not do that, technically, the ban is still in place. This seems kind of silly. I doubt SLU would actually enforce this even if it is technically still in place. Either way it would be nice if Ford reached out to our only NBA player, congratulated him on a nice start to his season, and welcomed him to a future game.

Well, a certain mega-donor who caused The Situation to get out of control in the first place and then coerced the U. to suspend many of its own stated disciplinary procedures is still, you know, a mega-donor.

cheeseman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 He was not banned when he reenrolled. Therefore the ban was lifted. Such a silly issue anyway. Willie can walk on campus all he wants. People need to just let things go and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 OK take Willie Reed's bannig from SLU. You can find out the official explanation for the banning, in this case flunking out, but you may never find out the real reason he was banned. When the official reason given if fishy or full of holes, there is always a lot of stuff that is not publicized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever team chose him, I am sure their ticket sales are going thru the roof!! What team doesn't need a low skill guy with a shooting range of 4 feet? Then, again, team parties' will definitely be "spiced" up. Sure he will love the state of Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
