ACE Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 16 hours ago, STL Hoops Insider said: It is depressing. Both DGB, #1 recruits in the country and both done prematurely. You crawl out from under your rock for this non-sense? I thought you were all about the St. Louis area kids? A lot of great stories right here at SLU with local kids. Goodwin off to a solid start. Gordon, who your sidekick 314 thought would NEVER sign with SLU, actually did. BTW, we missed you on the board on signing day. And if you like a good underdog story, what about former walk-on Aaron Hines getting some key buckets in the second half to help SLU beat an ACC team at Madison Square Garden. Instead, you are depressed about a kid who is not from St. Louis who is likely to be a lottery pick? And some fool from the football team bums you out? You're all about the St. Louis kids, right Vtime? Zink and RiseOfTheBillikens like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many risks. It sounds like a difference of opinion. Reportedly Mizzou medical staff didn't think surgery was needed. Family got a 2nd opinion and chose a different route. With an estimated 3-month recovery, doesn't sound as severe as it could have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock_Tower Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 5 hours ago, STL Hoops Insider said: Well Porter Jr did still help them land a lot of recruits that will be around multiple years, so all hope is not lost. Both programs are in great shape. Top 100 recruits from 2017 and 2018 So is it too late for Porter's brother to reclassify again and go back to enjoy his high school Senior year? Mr. Porter ought to be awarded Father of the Year - Leave the Pac 10/Washington/good friend/Romar to go play for SEC/Mizzou/Martin and get his younger son to leave high school early -- and why? to play with older brother? not going to happen. juniorbill76 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Mizzou connection for the Porters but I was just thinking about this: U Dub/Seattle > Mizzou/Columbia. I'd pick that school/conference/city 11 out of 10 times over Columbia and Mizzou. To each their own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 2 hours ago, RiseAndGrind said: Tiger was an insane fitness freak and trained with the SEALS. He was too hard on his body. I saw Tiger play in the US Am in 1994 at Muirfield in Columbus when he was 18. He was having back problems back then. He walked around the course constantly massaging his back. The way he swung you could tell his back was going to hold up thru a whole career. That said, I'd still like to see him comeback and catch Jack. I saw him play a number of times after that and when he was on it's hard to imagine anyone who ever played the game at his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 2 hours ago, ACE said: Heard that Mizzou staff didn't think surgery was necessary. This could be a case of the family just not wanting him to play, when he probably could play through it. I wouldn't be surprised if going forward if you see more sure fire one and dones exaggerate injuries and take a long time to return. Why risk going on the court in college? The one and done rule is stupid. The kid shoulda been able to go straight to the league. If this is the case Ace, the family made the wrong decision. Yes, I know they were trying to safeguard the kid from further injury during play (prior to NBA). He had a small disc problem that could likely have been treated with exercise and pain killers, which is probably what the Drs. at Mizzou said. The parents chose otherwise. Surgery is always worse than no surgery, that is why you should never choose to have surgery if you can do without it. If the one and dones start playing the Dr. shopping game (shop Drs. until you find out one that tells you what you want to hear, in this case surgery), a lot of these kids may wind up worse off than they would have been without this possibly not absolutely necessary surgery. Always remember that surgeons make money by doing surgery, not by advising patients against surgery. If there is a surgical treatment for it, why not do it?

STL Hoops Insider Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 You CAN be a fan of both programs!!!! You can like Sprite and Sierra Mist, Blondes and brunettes, jello and pudding. However there was a lot of Mizzou bashing, and even Tilmon bashing when he got arrrested. You bash Tilmon for a minor offense and then we have to jump off that moral high horse and deal with Situation 2. But the Billiken should STILL be winning. Only 2 of the three players were eligible to play. We have 8 scholarship players, and 6 yrs ago we saw Mizzou win 30 games with 7 scholarship players. You don’t lose to Detroit with 7 players. And Martin has the Tigers sitting at 8-2 with mostly Anderson holdovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
