CBFan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 VCU 36 Baylor 28 at the half. Jonathon Williams had a nice steal and dunk and Jequan Lewis looked good. VCU's Egyptian post player looked pretty solid against a tall Baylor team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zink Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thought this qualifies as relevant and interesting: Ford's former program is doing quite well without him, as are UCF (Henriquez) and Rutgers (Foreman, Macon). Do people who support those other programs see these guys as being evidence of "addition by subtraction" or is this just a dumb coincidence?

So your point is that we got the malcontents and that because of that we will be eternally bad. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Not at all. I'm really excited by the addition of all of the folks listed. Just thought this was an interesting tidbit, and maybe a reason to be more cautious in my own optimism. I was also genuinely curious as to what, if anything, other fan bases were thinking with regard to these departures at present. No need to get aggressive. And Happy Thanksgiving!

Old guy Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nothing new in the facts presented. People may be very good, and may be stars in some teams. However in other teams with bigger stars than they are, they may not be that good or may be clashing with others. This issue is always implicit in managing talent. Coaches must ask the question: How do I make this talent work for me, and the team? The worst primadonna in the world may shine in a team that manages to bring the best in them out and keeps the clashing (which is always present with a bunch of highly talented people on board) at a low level. From SLU's point of view, the real issue is Ford's ability to blend people like these into a really working and functional team. I think all coaches have to face similar situations, and they all respond in different ways with different degrees of success. Let's see what Ford manages to do with these transfers.

Out scored by 21 in the 2nd 1/2. Other games of interest-SIUE lost to Indiana by 23. Also Duquesne beat Pitt, 1st time in 16 years. Also earlier GMU beat No Iowa. So some of the traditional A10 lower tier teams may not be all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
