accusing a coach of arranging a condo is not "playing in the grey area". that is pure cheating. and you lie. please go away. if you were a true billiken fan you wouldnt come here with your first post as such. maybe you got a masters from slu, but i am betting your bachelor's was an illini degree. you are way too slimy for that not to be true.
Yikes. Ad hominem much?

Fair I didn't catch that. I agree if he wants to start let him he most certainly has earned it. Just think he plays that jamal crawford/ lou williams role really well for this team.
Totally. (No more reactions left)

So your father in law, who works in the med school, knew about us paying for Gordon’s mom. Funny, because my father, who holds a much more “in the know” position within the administration that working in the med school, has always stressed how clean our program is. But glad you got that great intel from a med school faculty member.
Things are becoming clearer! Haha

My only concern about Perkins starting is that he seemed to be foul prone last season.
Haha. That's true. All our best players are.

I would expect you to look at it realistically. Look at Travis Ford's history of recruiting. He's always been a good recruiter. No doubting that. You don't get to be a consistently good recruiter in today's age without playing in the grey. That's just the nature of college basketball.
I'm out of reactions for today. So you won't get a good post out of me, but you're absolutely right. I for one am all for it. Is it really cheating if everyone is doing it?
I actually think it's a complement that people think we're cheating. Means were doing something right.

6 days to go. Hoping for the Billikens to be the pick, but prepared for either way. “If you aren’t with us, you’re against us.”
... Unless it's Jayson Tatum.

Having someone to come in fresh who can create his own shot whenever he wants is huge. I would bet perkins enjoys that role. He has the green light whenever he comes in and is on the court with some of the bench guys. Where as a starter he may feel the need to defer. I'll be surprised if he starts.
If he likes coming off the bench, then that's awesome. I'm not going to pretend to know what this kid does and doesn't like, but if he wants to start, he's earned that honor.
Plus, the article in the Athletic literally says Ford plans to start him this season.

That's not a need, but he will start. Not sure why my post deserves a bad post either. Perkins is one of our best players, and his starting role is inevitable.
Perkins is arguably THE best player. Starting matters to these kids, and you're right, he's earned the starting spot with his performances last year.

I think Yuri finding Gibby/Jacobs/Perkins in the corner for the open 3 is my most anticipated. He is going to give defenses fits this year.
Watching that video reminds me truly how many weapons Ford will have this year. I would really like to see a 9-10 man rotation in the beginning to ensure we do not wear down over the course of an entire (weird) season.
With a 9 man rotation, Jacobs is on paper the #9 and Linssen, Loresntson, Strickland are all watching.
The competition in practice has to be insane right now.
Absolutely. The floor spacing should be spectacular. Defenses won't be able to sag off their man or they'll pay the price. That's going to open things up for Goodwin and French to have their way around the rim.
Or, you know, maybe not. I'm excited to see what happens.

This might be one of the most anticipated Billiken seasons in history. We have some straight up ballers on this team and it will be interesting if they can put all the pieces together and do something special.
I think I'm most excited to see how Javonte Perkins game has improved. He has the potential to be an NBA guard and I hope to see him just absolutely take over games.

Nah. I’m good. You contribute ABSOLUTELY NOTHING positive to this board. But way to backtrack from “Haha. Fair. I’ve decided hating Tatum is going yo be my schtick on this board. So get used to it.” as soon as I started asking for your suspension.
Dude. You can't say you blocked me and continue to hit me up. Don't you see how stupid that makes you look? It's okay to admit you didn't watch the game.

I think he does get away with the leading with his arm thing more than most because it seems so unthreatening as if he's protecting a birthday cake from the wind. The whole playoffs have been must see tv for me.
He undoubtedly gets a superstar whistle. Hell of a game tonight!

I just put him on ignore. But he basically just admitted to being a troll. Isn’t that grounds for at least a suspension. I put my faith in our great moderators. Not my decision to make. But at least we all know for sure now.

If no one responds he'll eventually get tired of talking to himself. Ignore feature works. You know he'll take a break from posting when his mom brings him dinner.
Ooh burn! Good one.

It’s not a schtick. It’s trolling. Can a mod please remove this a-hole?
Dude. That's not very nice.
It's the off season and the Tatum's performance in the NBA playoffs is topical. If you engaged in debate instead of just blindly accusing people on the internet with different opinions of being trolls, the internet would be a much more fun place.
I'll help you out. You could say: "Tatum almost recorded a double double tonight!"
Now you try.

And you wonder why we call you a troll. Still going on with this BS, but don’t respond to ANY OTHER THREADS! Unbelievable!
Haha. Fair.
I've decided hating Tatum is going to be my shtick on this board, so get used to it.

Talbert how did you like Tatum’s numbers tonight? Not bad for overrated player.
The most impressive thing about Jason Tatum's game is his ability to push off with his off arm every time he drives to the basket and never get called for it.

Who the bleep would have gone and joined the clusterbomb that was the Jim Crews era Billikens? We gave him no freaking choice! We get it you're butt hurt about it, but you're way off base here. Some times in life timing is everything- I would have loved to have seen JGood , Has, and Jayson Tatum on the same floor at Chaifetz, but it just wasn't meant to be..
Lovely. Of course that stung! A big part of it is I'm not from St. Louis. The only thing that ties me to the city is Saint Louis University.
Um yeah... If I was as talented as Jayson, and I kept telling everyone how much I love SLU and the city, I would have put my money where my mouth was and become a damn legend.

A lot of people have a lot of personality flaws, including myself. Including you. You have ZERO IDEA what really was going on in any of his personal relationships. He’s not a criminal. From what I can tell, he’s not a horrible person. This whole character assassination comes off as way more about how judgmental you are than it does about why any of us shouldn’t be Tatum fans. And the funny thing is, I don’t ever see you posting regularly in any if the other Billikens threads. You only ever seem to turn up when it’s time to talk $h!t. So if blocking you makes me “feeble”, I’m okay with that.
Quite frankly, I'd love to talk more about how he puts up empty stats and refuses to play team ball.
I've already stated that I'm not perfect and I think I stated public personality flaws. Those are fine too, but I've had enough of ESPN and Doris Burke telling me how perfect he is while all of the clear flaws are public knowledge.
Also, you're right. I don't post often. I see how people with differing opinions are treated on this message board and I've always been weary of being alienated from a board I spend a lot of time on. I went for it last night, and, well the results were predictable. This message board needs to realize that and unpopular hot take does not make someone a troll.

Of all the recruits we have finished second in the pursuit of their commitment he is by far the closest to the Bills community. Only the Robertson we did not get comes close.
Right. I think that's what bugs me the most. He was close to the community and said "see ya" but I still love you. Actions speak louder than words. It's just fundamental mindset differences I guess.

Our coach was Jim Crews. What's he supposed to do, play pick and roll with Marcus Bartley? Marquette was in a much different place in terms of coaching and talent. And Ja Morant was not a consensus top 5 HS player. JT is a local guy and the success of our program is connected to making SLU the place to go for local recruits. He's also said that if the NBA ever comes to St. Louis, he'd want to play on that team. JT coming to SLU practices helps. His dad went here, his mom went here, and his godfather is a great coach. If he were five years younger, Coach Ford would have at least made it hard for him to go elsewhere. If we retire his jersey, you'll have a point. Until then, you make no sense.
It makes no sense to not feel any connection to a kid who danced around playing ball for my alma mater, but chose another school? Is that really that crazy? You should see how Badger fans feel about Tyler Herro.

First of all, when i @‘d you another Talbert happened to pop up. So there’s been AT LEAST 2 of you. You come in here talking ish about Jayson Tatum for really no reason. All signs point to TROLL!
Oh.
I don't know, I was watching the ECF and the way he plays ball bugs me. I've followed him for a long time because of our recruitment of him. I wanted to talk about him so I came here and shot something out into the internet. I could have went to reddit or an NBA board but I wanted to see what fellow Billikens thought.

He’s a professional athlete. What do you want him to do? Buy season tickets and be there cheering at every game, Celtics games be damned? Blocked!
All I'm saying is I don't feel for him the way Marquette feels for Dwyane wade, Jimmy Butter, Jae Crowder, or Wesley Matthews; the way Murray State alum feel for Ja Morant; or the way Memphis fans feel for Derrick Rose. I don't understand SLU fans that do. He didn't pick us. I don't really blame him, but also he would have been a first round pick no matter where he went. He didn't love the hometown team THAT much.
I don't expect him to DO anything. I just don't understand the unconditional love for a guy who has shown so many public personality flaws.
Does "Blocked!" mean you blocked me? If so, that's very feeble of you @Reinert310.
