SLU & NCAA Corona Virus Discussion
dlarry replied to billikenbill's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
41 days would put us around May 10th? So I’m guessing everything stays shutdown until then at the earliest? I never thought I would experience anything like this. Crazy times. Hope everyone stays healthy physically and mentally during these strange times. -
I get it delivered too. I am probably one of their youngest subscribers at 40 but there is just something about drinking a cup of coffee (or Bloody Mary on weekends) and reading the paper in the morning. Much more relaxing that scrolling on my phone. The paper is also better crapper material than the app.

It was in the article. It says “Ford said he wanted to be closer to home.” That’s what they always say. It sounds better than “I wasn’t getting enough PT” “I saw the writing on the wall.” Or from the coach ”He wasn’t good enough”

Im going with the Atlantic Sun conference.

I’m not bitter at all. I just disagree with you. I don’t think we need a more detailed article and I stated why.

He wasn’t writing a story he was passing along information. there is no reason to write a story about a kid leaving school. Its none of our business why he is leaving. His grades are none of our business. Who cares if he was a good teammate he’s gone. If he wasn’t are you going to roast him on his way out? The guy barely played. This is all that was needed.
-
Not surprising. To me he will always be a “what if guy “ What if he stayed healthy? What if he had found his 3 point shot? What if personal had stayed that allowed him to be a stretch 4? I hope he has a nice finish to his career and believe he will if he stays healthy.

That’s what I figured. i guess he could end up in the G league.
-
Interesting. i know he had an Ok year but does he have any shot of being drafted. Im guessing he will not hire an agent and pull his name but is the NBA a real possibility for him?

I plan on having a case of the “Irish Flu” tomorrow morning. It usually lasts about 24 hours and I typically get it the day after consuming what some might consider too much alcohol. -
SLU & NCAA Corona Virus Discussion

Those people already are doing the right thing. Unfortunately it’s the 1000’s of people who have no idea they are infected that are spreading the disease. I hear ya when it comes to the economy Roy. It’s a huge problem and something needs to be done. I just don’t think there is an easy answer here. Every idea that has been floated about has massive problems that come along with it. This is new territory and I’m not sure there is one right answer. -

If he ever considered dropping down to a lower division school where he would have gotten PT. Walk on at SLU never play vs Going to UMSL and getting 25 minutes a game. -
I agree. i think they should be given the option to stay but I think honesty from the coach is the best route. Some kids just cant hack D1 ball and I think the coach has a right to tell a student that. The student should also be given the choice to stay.
-
What if it is in their best interest to transfer? Some guys just aren’t good enough no matter how much you work with them. I see nothing wrong with telling a player “you are more than welcome to stay but if you want playing time it’s not going to happen here.” If my coaches knew I wasn’t good enough I’d want to know so I can back my bags and head to a lower level a school.

Sounds like this is going to be a series of articles. Cool idea. Good job Stu. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/billiken-beat/quarantined-with-slu-s-hargrove-tyler-perry-tiktok-and-school/article_736fa2af-1295-52d8-81cb-3f43e93648de.amp.html

Glaze has been more of a bust as a person post basketball than he was as a player.

People are buying up the toilet paper because anytime someone coughs everyone around them craps their pants.

Little known fact the first “alley-oop” was completed by the Flint Michigan Tropics. It was a pass from veteran Ed Monix to high flyer Clarence Withers. This amazing feat was first used in the 1976 MegaBowl and was drawn up by Jackie Moon. The play changed the game forever. -
I’ve always thought of Jason Kidd.

Those Detroit teams were great....I hated them! The bad boys. If you drove the lane against them you were going to end up on your backside. If you are looking for something to watch while quarantined check out the 30 for 30 “Bad Boys.” It’s amazing to see the difference in physicality between the game then and the game now.
-
It’s awesome you saw that team live. Might be one of the best sports teams ever. The NBA talks a lot about “big 3’s” now but you will never have a big 3 that matches the defensive intensity those guys had. I saw Jordan play with the Wizards in Memphis but by that time he wasn’t Jordan anymore.

That’s true he was also a once in a generation player when it came to rebounding. He also played 4 years in college and was a second round pick after averaging 25 and 15. Rodman number one priority was rebounding but he occasionally put up shots. He went 82 of 355 from 3 in his career not good but just enough to make you guard him. He also had a year with the Pistons that he hit 32 of 100 from 3. So he could shoot a little.
-
Agree. So he will be back. No team is going to draft a 6’6” forward who only scores within 4 feet of the basket. I love French. He’s the perfect A-10 power forward but if he plans on getting drafted he has a lot of work to do.
