I'll be sold once he develops consistency to his play. This was a damned good win for us. Let the kool-aid flow. I'll take some too. Too bad all our scholar- athletes didn't see the second half of the win. Watching the game on tv, I was impressed with the size of the student section. I heard that many of them were only there to be recognized at halftime. Seeing the student section in the second half, it seemed almost empty. Great school spirit, student athletes!!!

Glorydays2013 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I really feel for Hines, kid is playing more and performing better than most on the team right now and he doesn't have a scholarship. I hope the kid doesn't get tremendous debt. I hope SLU gives him every academic scholarship they can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hines is a smart kid getting a great degree and playing hoops. He doesnt need anyone's sympathy. He's already a success. Whatever talent upgrade the roster needs, the blame falls on one man: Jim Crews. Hines would be here whether or not Crewsplatt had happened. He is clearly superior to the vast majority of walk-on talent that shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 -blip in the article yesterday that Hines will graduate in May but he would like to play next season -as to the blue light, when FrB announced that aspect of the arena I was very intrigued and looked forward to it, that one LED bulb on top of the arena is on my very short complaint list about Chaifetz Arena, perhaps safety reasons for not doing this to a bigger extent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I thought the Umass board freaking out about officiating was funny. I thought they were mugging our players in the first half and getting away with it. We could have had 70 FTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first foul he had was shoving around Welmer as though he were defending an endzone. I have no doubt that Holloway is very familiar with cinnamon rolls.

I wish him luck and thanks for his efforts. A win win would be he goes as a graduate transfer someplace else. My guess is Ford knew all this and he will help Hines land someplace good for him.

His slot is free and he is needed. Remember Coach had an open invite for walk on's earlier this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence he would not count on the 13 scholarship list. This year we have Hines and Marco. Neither count towards the 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever his scholarship/financial aid situation is this season, since he's getting his undergraduate degree in May, it's likely that those arrangements will not carry over to grad school.

hsmith19 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That game should be enough to earn Hines a spot on the Billiken all-time, all-walk on team. It had to be really fun. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only scored in one game in the three years we was on the bench. Wasn't he from New Yawk? Throwing out some other walk on name's, how about Chaminade's Carlos Sharlow? And I think I saw Diego Garcia play in his only game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 A couple of takeaways from the UMass board.... 1. They thought Ford was a good game day coach, contrary to what we have been hearing. 2. Before the game, they didn't understand how a team could go for long periods of time without a basket. Then we go the final 7 36 of the game without a basket AND beat them.
