brianstl Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I dont think Moy expected Peterson to come come on here and get all excited when he saw the "Welcome Mr. Peterson" post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 He may actually read it if he is researching the school, now basing even a little of his decision on it ... probably not. We know for a fact parents read it, so why would it be so far fetched for a player to read. Anyway, I was just giving you a hard time.

moytoy12 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 It was 1/2 tongue in cheek. But what if? What if Peterson read the board? What could it hurt? Kind of like the fact that there is no atheist right before death. I've spent a lot of time this week highlighting what SLU isn't; well, I wanted to create a platform to highlight what SLU is and this post (as Brian pointed out) was meant to pay homage to that.

This is one step away from showing up outside his hotel room with a banner saying "SLU loves you Jeff." While this may be fine for students to pull off, I still say it's a little odd coming from adults. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Lighten up. It's actually very possible a recruit would read this, quite a few parents have been regular posters, so again why is it so far fetched to believe a kid might read it also. This board is made up of fans ... if by some chance he did read it, he might think cool ... the fans are showing me some love. If you rally want to see immature come sit next to me at a game, it's disgusting.

StLouBlue Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Pistol, I think you are wrong in your assumption that recruits and families do not read message boards. On the Creighton board, there were 4 or 5 family members of Johnny Coy posting there before and even after he committed to ASU. A friendly hello & hope you have a great visit message to a recruit certainly can't hurt. If nothing else this board should show that us Billikan fans certainly enjoy our basketball, even if we don't agree on much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKnowItAll Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Our program is in major trouble if a message board has any bearing on whether a recruit comes here or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Brad reads the board to find >out where he went wrong during a game?" When did i say anything about soderberg being fired??? The two statements i made concerning his coaching style are my opinions. who are you to mock me when i have the right to state my opinion? what do you want me to say... "lets applaud our coach for doing such a great job and he's the best"... im sorry, but anybody who knows college basketball can easily point out those two observations i made regarding soderberg. i am not out for his head, but i am not complacent with mediocrity as you appear to be. lighten up, quit being such a 'yes man'... think for yourself.

SLU currently has zero point guards. The keys to the car would be his immediately when he stepped foot on campus, for four years...unless two things happened, he didn't produce and better point guards were recruited over him. But the keys to the car would be his immediately at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
