  1. New posters are always welcome. Quality's post was benign. And I appreciated it. No one has a problem with people sharing Billiken news. Sharing it in the proper thread, however, makes topics much easier to follow.

  2. i am convinced he has his coach, but ford does not want him tied down by ncaa summer guidelines and restrictions. as long as we have a coach by first practice that is fine.

  3. http://www.phenomhoopreport.com/69-lok-wurs-recruitment-exploding-decision-coming-soon/ Decision expected in 2-3 weeks. He wants to go somewhere that will let him be a tall, versatile guard. With our lack of depth at PG right now he would be perfect. He would be a big mismatch problem for any A10 team.

  4. I think the moderator did a good job of respectfully correcting the poster. Unfortunately, two other posters chose to flag the original post as a bad post. That's not the moderator's fault.

  5. All he did was inform him that we usually don't start threads for individual players until they commit. No big deal. Also Luc was already being discussed in a recruiting thread.

  6. There's really nothing else to say at this point.

  7. Interesting. Also, that's a great school. Both of my kiddos went there.

  8. First, I'm not a moderator anymore. My posts carry no more authority than that of any other "message board moron" here. My post was not "rule monitoring." Second, I think if anyone thought my post was hurtful, such a person may have an agenda against me. My post was matter-of-fact and contained no threat or offensive words. I used "kind of" and "unwritten" to soften the tone, and I didn't use any strong adjectives. I didn't rail at the original poster or censure him. All I did was inform the OP of the convention the billikens.com community has been using for several years. Because of said convention, many of us get excited when seeing a recruit's name in a thread title, anticipating report of a commitment (or visit or something). It gets our hopes up. Considering that Wur discussion was already in progress in the "Recruiting 2019" thread, some posters may have seen the title of this thread and reacted in such a manner, only to be disappointed to see more information that had already been posted in the recruiting thread. That may have been why some posters reacted, "Bad post." There seem to be a number of people who see "Quality Is Job 1" and automatically become defensive and perhaps read something that's not actually in the text. That's part of the reason I resigned from being a moderator this past season. I was tired of being blamed for anything and everything that detracted from people's enjoyment of the site. There's no reason for people to "look over their shoulders" at my posts anymore. Lastly, are you really comparing a Southern Illinois-Carbondale board to this one?! I sincerely doubt the reason a Saluki board went defunct applies here! (Partially tongue-in-cheek as a subtle dig at "Methdale.')

  9. Ok I've never seen him but I will pass along what Eric Bossi thinks of him. He compared him to a Justin Wesley with an upside. He's very raw and has a long way to go to match his athleticism. He's being recruited hard by East Tennessee State which is the level he should be playing at. I prefer the thread for one player over an 150+ recruiting thread.

  10. Looks like he led their team in assists and steals.

  11. When I suggest or refer people to join this community I always advise them to observe for a couple weeks before posting. Get a lay of the land and an understanding of the norms.

  12. New posters are much more turned off by idiodic arguments like the one you are participating in/driving rather than a poster giving them a polite lesson on how posts are typically dealt with on this board. I see no problem with Quality's post.

  13. If I was his coach I wouldn’t want that knucklehead going back to STL. Id try my hardest to keep him away from the bad influences in St. Louis and keep an eye on him.

  14. Oh, please please forgive me you magnificent human being of exquisite sensitivities. I guess you have had many rough experiences in your life, like when your sister stole your favorite doll, or when your mother would not get up to feed you the moment you started wailing. I am so very sorry to have disturbed your exalted sense of comfort in this warm and welcoming world we live in and promise not to cross this lofty sensitivity barrier again or to inconvenience you in any other way possible. Now that is said, please stick your head up your butt, get in intimate contact with your own feces, and take your sensitivity where it belongs, somewhere else.

  16. it was rude, who cares if it was already being discussed somewhere else??? New or infrequent posters get treated like crap all of the time on this board....how about just thanking someone for caring enough to post some relevant Billiken info??? i mean, two individuals even went as far as to give him a "BAD POST'.....

  17. He reminds me of Darius Miles in high school the way he runs the floor, handles the ball and dunks

  18. you really think so? i think his hook shot is mediocre at best. he has very little touch on it and basically doesnt get more than about 3 feet from the rim. french is the team prototype of bully ball imo. i dont mean that in a negative sense. he is sheer power. my big wish for the summer is he and goodwin both develop success shooting from the floor and the line.

  20. It always amazes me what people consider to be rude. Rude is nowhere close to what sulfan or Quality is Job1 posted. However, I should emphasize that a lot of people can and will give credible demonstrations about the true meaning of the word rude whenever it becomes necessary. Big Bill Fan save yourself a full demonstration of the meaning of the word rude. Stop harping on these people. Quality is Job 1 is just doing his job as a moderator informing a newbie the way things are done in this board.

  21. hey A_Hole, I'm not the one who gave someone a"bad post" rating for providing some billiken info....you don't expand a board by treating people like crap....our moderator could have just as easily pm the poster, or at least thanked him before admonishing him....the Saluki board no longer exists because of attitudes like yours......

  22. The moderator set the tone, unfortunately this nonsense happens all of the time. I don’t understand why new posters aren’t welcomed. Obviously growing this board isn’t a priority... As for correcting, what’s to correct???? He posted relevant Billiken news... Maybe this board should be an invitation site only...
