billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 i went out and bought the post today (probably havent bought 10 copies in the last 4 years). the first team all metro team is liddell, meyer, polk, lisch and x price. 4 out 5 billiken guys. polk is the poy.

3star_recruit Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Wow, five guards. Those five guys deserved it but I thought the PD would cave and choose Grimes so the team could have a post player. Methinks Polk won the POY when he dropped 38 points in the championship game. Meyer was the regular season POY, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 other than the shootout, i did not get a chance to venture across the river this year as i have in years past to watch any games, so my viewing was limited to liddell, lisch and price. i still dont think price was the best player on his own team. i would give the ball to jb jones in a second if i wanted to win a game and we had one shot instead of price. but there is no denying x's supreme athleticism. i must admit he played harder more consistent more often this year than in the past, but still not the star he should be. i was surprised not to find athur sargent's name even listed in the honorable mention list. nate must have had too much to do with the list. ;-) he mentioned the other day he wasnt impressed with arthur.

Schasz Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 For the out of town fans, I did not find any link to the article and I assume that there was one, on the St. Louis Today Website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 On Tommy's bio in the post the rporter wrote Signed with SLU but may go the junior college route. Is there something new here? I was under the impression that if he didn't qualify a prep school was the most likely. Do prep schools offer scholarships? The problem with going JUCO is that as a non qualifier he has to stay 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 >Methinks Polk won the POY when he dropped 38 points in the >championship game. Meyer was the regular season POY, hands >down. That would be my guess too, as many times over the years in all sports the PD has put some extra weight on leading your team to the state title, which is why I thought Polk would be named POY. Congrats to all those honored. I'll have to look through the paper later today when I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tseugnekillib Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Nate tell me that Grimes at least got the sixth most votes. I don't understand how the Post could leave him off the first team. In the past, the Post had a north district team, an all-city team and an all-east side team, etc. Has that format been eliminated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 frankly willie, i have been wondering about the prep school route financial thing for awhile now. didnt a bunch of the midwestern players get in trouble with the ncaa for accepting "scholarships" to the prep schools a couple of years back? my guess is that liddell wont have the financial means to afford an east coast prep school and may have to go the juco route. all the scarier as that puts him even more in the limelight of being re-recruited.

RecCenterRat Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hey I can't find the article online! BROY .. could you take the time to type it onto this message board? That'd be great .. thanks for your time .. _________ Who would you guys have left off in order to put Grimes in? Meyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 who would you knock down to second team and replace with grimes? personally i applaud the post for getting it right. i only question no arthur sargent anywhere. he would have at least been on my honorable mention list.

billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 actually i am leaving in ten minutes for a basketball tourney my daughter is playing near terre haute. sorry. my guess is that stu and nate will make sure it gets to stltoday.com by tomorrow. right guys! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 By the end of April, there's going to be the temptation for the staff to just sign a qualified player and re-recruit Tommie at a later date. Missing out a player due to academics for the third year in a row is just unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 i will agree it is unacceptable if it plays out there was no backup plan. but if jeckle foster or a big name transfer shows up in lieu of tommie should tommie not make it, i am forgiving. especially if tommie is here in the future. which jalensdad seems sure he will be.

billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 since i wouldnt even have had price over jb jones, i have no problem with grimes over price. makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 do you know if any east siders other than sargent are playing for the eagles this summer? curious if jeremy felton is one of the teams. i know earl liked him a lot and i am sure he tipped jones.

davidnark Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 How can there be a backup plan? Tommie and the university signed a binding LOI. Tommie has until late June to pass his test. There isn't much Brad can do in late June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 A back-up plan is in place. The coaching staff isn't dumb! However, as you suggested, the secondary plan wouldn't be put into place until it was deemed appropriate. That may be when the final high school transcript has been received and when the June ACT test results are known in mid-June. Or, it's possible that the secondary plan could be put into action sooner, for example, if April's high school work happened to seriously decline.

slufanskip Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 What's up with Evans ... isn't he a Sr. ... is he committed. If he is participating in the Dunk contest tommorrow I am assumming that his knee is healed ... some big name schools were looking at him before the injury. Could he be a back up plan?

bonwich Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I just tried to put the wheels in motion to get it on the site. The sports stuff isn't getting online as fast today because of the huge volume of St. Louis Regional stuff in the special section. Worst case, I'll post the article after about 3:30, when I'll have access to it through a different database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I noticed that point being slipped in by the Post-I would NOT assume that it is w/o foundation. If TL has to go JUCO, it turns areally, really good recruiting class into a just better than average class, if that. TL is the jewel of the class and w/o him it is hard to see much improvement next year unless we are able to get a real stud with the 4th scholarship and/or we are able to use TL's sch. to get a similar quality player. That is too many ifs for me-losing TL for 2 years would be a real downer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Of course I loved getting up this morning and seeing the All-Metro team in today's paper! It really makes you feel excited about our future. All these guys will look great wearing the "Billiken blue". Lisch would just make this team even better since he's possibly the best player on the list. Possibly getting 4 out of 5 guys from the All Metro team...now that's impressive!
