moytoy12 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Femi apparently applied for and received a medical hardship. Strickland is saying he is done with basketball at SLU, but will get his education at SLU paid for. Assuming this to be correct, I'm guessing this opens another schollie? This really sucks for Femi, he seems like a good kid. But good for him to be able to continue his education at SLU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 From what I have heard Strickland is right on this issue.I had heard that Femi is not necessarily done but that it is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 This is exactly why you never stop recruiting. What a difference a week makes. A week or so ago, some people were wringing their hands worrying about how players were going to get minutes. With one scholarship already available, another now with Femi and potentially this other unfortunate incident, there is more recruiting to be done. Not sure there is much out there now. Clyburn would have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I feel for Femi. He probably knew he wasnt going to make a career out of basketball but to have something you love taken away from you at such a young age has got to be hard. Hopefully he can get his degree and find another passion to have a release for his competitive fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can get his degree and find another passion to have a release for his competitive fire. At least he's a smart kid. He'll get a solid degree and local employers will still remember him as a Billiken. This is assuming that he really is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is assuming that he really is done. Yeah Stickland said he has almost completed his degree. I would just imagine it would be hard to give up something up that was a huge part of your life at such a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah Stickland said he has almost completed his degree. I would just imagine it would be hard to give up something up that was a huge part of your life at such a young age. Between his knees going out and his major, it's not too much of a surprise. It's sad that he has lost so much of his athleticism with the first injury last year and then he re-injured it this year a couple times. Odds are it would have happened again next year. He's a nursing major and I'm pretty sure they begin clinicals during junior year, which would be very tough to do on top of basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Strickland is saying he is done with basketball at SLU, but will get his education at SLU paid for. So that means Femi is not done with basketball, but will have to pay his own way through school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
