That will definitely be interesting to watch next year. I think Perkins and Hargrove are good enough to play next year. Perkins has been told there are minutes available. I think Hargrove fits more with the type of players Ford is bringing in however...French, Goodwin, Thatch.

@Pistol has already mentioned the upgrade in talent they will have next year. It will be a different team.

Yeah. DePaul has been showing interest in a lot of local kids the last couple years....Gordon included.

I was there. His head was at the rim. He has hops

He's having a very solid season. He had 18pts 4 rbs 2 assts 4 steals last night.

Yes. He's pretty good too. Cardinal Ritter beat CBC last night by double digits. Second time beating them this year.

I understand the frustration. I understand many feel he wasted an opportunity. I'd rather not talk about the actions that led to this outcome. It didn't work out. He's gone. Let's enjoy the rest of the season.

He never represented his City during his high school years when playing AAU. I never bought into the "staying home to represent my city" line. I think to many people are focusing on that part. It just didn't work out between Gordon and SLU. Best for both parties to move on. I can see the DePaul connection tho.

After last years game at Vashon...Hargrove was MOTIVATED. He didn't come out the game. Played with a high motor and set the tone from the beginning of the game. ESL's coach put him in great scoring opportunities and he came thru...big time.

That block on Cam Fletcher's dunk was amazing

Sounds good to me

I understand your point of view. I understand being let down by his actions at SLU...I wanted it to work out for him at SLU also.

I will just say there was plenty of red flags that warranted the staff cutting ties with Gordon before he signed. He had several situations going on his Senior year that were being monitored by the SLU coaching staff.

I agree. There's definitely more to the story. But taking what we do know I just find it funny how some of the same people that defended and wanted to sweep Gordon's past transgressions under a rug are now attacking him now that he isn't dribbling a ball for the program anymore. Ford knew what he was getting into and went to great lengths to make sure Gordon suited up for the Billikens. It didn't work. Gordon isn't the only "bad guy" in this situation.

So you're saying Gordon didn't ask for his release...the SLU program gave him the boot, huh?
