If there is bad news it’s that we don’t know what the resolution for the 3 will be. If there was a resolution we would know by now. Obviously the process is ongoing. Being an optomist the fact that they are still in school and practicing gives me hope. I,m not sure anyone knows how this is going to play out. Anyone who claims to know is lying. I hope it’s over soon but I wouldn’t bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSide_Billiken Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 For those looking for some optimism regarding Situation 2.0, the official game preview dated November 4 (http://www.slubillikens.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27200&ATCLID=211676759) references our transfers, "5 of whom will be eligible this year." I'd really hope that if they anticipated some long-term issues that they wouldn't be marketing these guys. Has anybody heard any rumors as to whether tonight's absences were expected or a last minute surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 If this was a last minute suspension handed down by the higher ups, that's pretty ridiculous. They've had plenty of time to decide on any punitive action, if they just sprung this on Ford today that's terrible.

We finally agree that bishop is the straw that stirs the drink for this team. Good to see you finally listened to what I’ve been saying.

NH Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The university has handled this very well thus far IMO but at some point soon we’re going to need some clarity on when we will find out about disciplinary actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think SLU would handle things better than that, so I'm hoping this was all part of the plan. And if so, then the fact that they're still practicing as if they are part of the rotation hopefully indicates that it's just a short absence.

They are going through the Title IX process. The decision has been made that until the process is finalized, they aren't playing. Key part of Stu's article today was this: The internal investigation is supposed to take no more than 60 days, a mark that would come approximately after the first five games. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/minus-three-players-billikens-outlast-harris-stowe/article_40da0eb7-e8bc-55a0-901d-66a42bdd3d7e.html At this point, people should be prepared for them to miss the first 5 games minimum. After that, it's anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David King Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Bottom line is if Hines averages more than 10 min/gm for the season, no Big Dance this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkelsey55 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I guess once a walk on always a walk on according to lots of MBM's on this board. Hines did a good job last night. He did not cause any drop off when he played. He is a scholarship player. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within 5 minutes the lead was cut to 5. Hines is a tremendous drop off from our starters. He would be a nice starter for Harris stowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidnark Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I have to agree with Roy here. Hines is easily the best ball-handler among our currently eligible players, but he was getting torched defensively and his penetration often just gets him in trouble among the trees. Goodwin, Roby, and Bess are all capable of bringing up the ball against pressure without turning it over, but they exert a lot of energy in the effort and it doesn't set the offense well or punish the defense for pressing. We ultimately need Bishop or Graves for that purpose. Not having Adonys really creates a gap in our offensive options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nark said it takes too much time and energy to start the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Coach Ford secured a medical redshirt year for Bishop for a reason. We need his ability to create shots in a half court set and free throw shooting. And we'll need them next year too. There's nobody with those skills coming in.

almaman Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 no comprende this twitter stuff despite being exposed to daily via pain in ass Leader, what's this mean? is that from AD himself or re tweet?

Glorydays2013 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 His tweet essentially means he is standing strong despite the accusations. Seems like Ford has the guys practicing and ready to go at a moments notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
