Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 1 hour ago, RUBillsFan said: I think he's onto something with this number thing and the confidence thing. Remember when MJ came back and his number was 45 for awhile. He clearly didn't have the confidence yet to wear #23 or his confidence with #45 wasn't as high as with #23 or the magical basketball number Gods wouldn't allow him to wear #23 because he had to prove his confidence first or something like that. Anyways, we all know he got his mojo all the way back when he switched to #23, so clearly it was #23 and confidence or some combination of the two that made MJ so great (not...you know...possessing otherworldly basketball talent and being one extremely driven & competitive / boarderline crazy SOB). Long story short, if I had worn the #23 when I played basketball in grade school, I would've had more confidence, and become the next MJ. Oh, so it was never the shoes?

Next time switch it around to make sense. Foreman would be showing a lack of confidence if he let someone transferring in take his number too. I don't think y'all get how important confidence is to a player in the game of basketball. You really don't help yourself, kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkelsey55 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Let me get this straight. We can now only recruit players who do NOT wear jersey numbers that are all ready in use by a present player. Is that what you are all saying??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to ask them if they'd give up their number. Anyone who says yes obviously lacks the confidence to play at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how many titles LeBron would've won if he had the cajones to wear his number 23 in Miami. Wearing the 6 clearly shattered his confidence.

I think you are correct but a waiver can be requested from the original school to void the residency year. Not sure if it has happened in the A10 but it has in the Big Ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the talk about Tillmon possibly coming to SLU back in the fall was from Illini fans on their board. And then they talked again about the possibility after Groce got canned. They be the stupid ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
