Bahama's Practices


Recommended Posts

Let's try to move on. JT isn't coming here; NEXT. On a positive note, we get to look forward to open practice, the Bahamas games, etc. I'm excited to see the new freshman. Particularly jermaine bishop. I really think this kid is going to shock a lot of people. Not sure why or how he wasn't rated higher. Kid can pass, shoot, has great vision for passing lanes, and has excellent speed. Not to mention, he has a wicked crossover. Wouldn't be shocked if he is our best ball handler next year.

Seriously, let's move past the negativity with regards to a 17 year old KID choosing to play for Duke. Analyzing every move isn't going to do anything. Here's to this coming season. #RiseOfTheBillikens

I admire your optimism. I don't share it at this point, but it is what it is.

Serious question...has anyone watched some of the jermaine bishop videos on youtube? Could just be wishful thinking, but with the explosiveness this kid drives with...hard not to see the similarity to JJ...especially if he adds some muscle. Honestly could be our best recruit out of 2015 class.

Quick look at the teams we play in the Bahamas:

August 8th vs the Atlantis All Stars - can't find much but Pitt beat them 124-53 last summer

August 10th vs the Bahamas All Stars - Pitt beat them 113-59 last year. Ohio St beat them 88-66 in 2013. Southern Miss beat them 81-73 in 2013.

August 11th vs PJ Stingers - Cincinnati beat them 94-64 last year. Manhattan beat them 116-72 in 2013.

So let's hope we come away with 3 blowout victories.

We're not gonna be very good this season....

I do not understand you continued negative comments about next year's team.They have not yet played a single game or even had one team practice with this new group.

The reports I get from everyone in the program say that the returning players are working very hard and are intensely committed to be better next year.

I also have heard good reports about our three frosh.

Why not wait until they have practiced and play a few games before you become totally negative? If we play very poorly in the first 10 games and then play poorly in the A10 early games there will be plenty of time to go negative!

Go Billikens!

-I find it interesting that the ADept has not communicated these sessions with fans, or at least put something on the website

-a bit of advice to the ADept, if at these sessions you are doing food/drink do it right, if you can't do it right don't do it, if you need more on this get an account and post the question

The AD sent e-mails to Billiken Club members last Friday. It has been in the Post. If you'd like a copy of the schedule send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll forward it to you. Some of the practices are scheduled for the Pavilion, so I'm not sure on the availability of food and beverages. I'll check.

I'm a season ticket holder and I received no such email, which would indicate that the ADept continues to be INept at basic communication. (See what I did there, Cowboy? ;) ). They do, however, send me more-than-weekly emails pimping "gear."

-I guess I have fallen from their email list list and rarely off-season do I check stltoday.com

-I did look and the website now has this information so good on them

-I wonder if DrP reads this board??

gravilst: Do you think a kid, a parent, a handler would post anything that was NOT lights-out stuff on youtube or video or recruiting whatever? Bishop, Welmer and Neufeld are non-entities until November. I don't care what they do against a bunch of cabana boys and beachcomers in the Bahamas. This team is young no kmatter hwo you slice it so any additional work (August) will be worth it. We know what's coming back ---- the remnants of an 11-win season. We have no inside game, no rela identified knock-down shooters, no point guard, no rebounders, no one who knows how to set/use a pick, and no concept of team defense. We have a l-o-n-g way to go.

Can't wait. Deaux.

How about "dunks around trashcan." His left leg knocks it over if its not passing beside the can. His right foot clips it as well if he "over" it. Thank you box for visually proving my point.

So what will be worse. When we beat these terrible teams by 30 and some anoint us as A10 champs or when we beat them by 8 and the single-digit win predictions start flowing in

No one who sat through last year's miserable season will think we are going to be A10 Champs.

And I'm a season ticket holder too and also didn't get an email about the practices. But it's probably cuz they've got me listed as just an MBM.
