billikenfan05 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Isn't it obvious that, by "Next year," 05 means 2014-15 ("this year" is 2013-14)? I really meant this upcoming year. I've heard glowing reviews of McBroom from people who have seen him play in practice. Not only is he the fastest player on the team he's a lights out shooter.

brianstl Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 If there is another side to this story, it needs to be made a little more public. If there is another side does making it public necessarily help the program? At this point people are just going to claim you are tying to vilify the kid or that you are airing stuff that should remain private to protect the kid.

The rest of it is just regurgitating what has already been written by others and short-sighted opinions based on one side of the story.

And outside ofthe headline, it seemed more like a shot at the system then a total rip on the Billikens/crews. Could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me when Willie's dad made the local media rounds during the incident year. Called Majerus and Bondi every name in the book. At that time the University made no comment. It can't comment on a individual student for obvious reasons. It only came out later, through a round about way, it was more then just the incident.

What was unfair was Eamon's failure to mention JC didn't recruit JD. How about mentioning UK? It was a rip, Moy, when he said recruits and parents should take an offer from SLU with a fat grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More negative than I thought on first glance. I still don't think this is going to tarnish the program long term. Winning will be the best remedy for this situation.

ACE Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 -http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/84647/st-louis-runs-off-jared-drew -the worldwide leader weighing in on the Drew state of affairs The timing is really the only thing that is odd, but DocB who would qualify as an "insider" suggests that there is more to the story. The article talks about loyalty, but that cuts both ways. There are more than 400 players transferring from D1 schools. Yes, sometimes kids get run off, but a lot of times kids show no loyalty to the schools they signed with. They get impatient and leave for playing time. Think of all the time, money and resources SLU spent on a kid like Carter. At the first sign of adversity, he bolts just one semester into his college career.

I don't think many people read the comments, but I wanted to at least try to put a different perspective out there. I would encourage you to still comment on the article as well. Strength in numbers!

Old guy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not trying to interfere with the functioning of public media, I think I should ask: What difference does this make? If anything it means we have reached a level in public awareness that makes us a viable target from the point of view of public media. As we know this is the kind of one sided coverage that sells viewership and attracts readers. We are a nation where we look for victims and guilty parties. This is sad. The more we grow in strength and standing, the more coverage of this type we are likely to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other side: COMPLETE SPECULATION NOT BASED IN REALITY. /disclaimer. Drew was a troublemaker. Drew had a bad attitude. Drew had academic issues. Drew got in trouble. Drew wasn't putting forth the effort needed. Drew wanted to be a starter and bitched about it. Drew didn't want to redshirt and bitched about it. Drew didn't get along with the staff. Drew molested collies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your unbiased opinion, it should be pretty easy to convince you that perhaps the story isn't exactly how Drew portrayed it to the media.
