JMM28 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Villanova guard Dylan Ennis transferring upon graduation: http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaab/eye-on-college-basketball/25132818/dylan-ennis-plans-to-transfer-from-villanova-after-graduation Also, that Lithuanian kid is having a monster game for You People in Evansville right now. Bobby is a free agent now. He'd be a good video coordinator candidate. Cutting spots telling people what they think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 13, that sounds to me like the silliest question I have yet heard. If you want out and have all requirements for your degree finished you can: a) graduate early (Dec or January early graduation at most schools), go on vacation and apply for graduation with your class in May or June, or c) take extra courses, it is not required that you take gut courses, it is up to you really. When I was young I was required to have 120 credits to graduate from college, instead I had many more credit hours and multiple majors when I graduated in 4 years. It all depends on what you want to do with your life. Now, I keep on mentioning that a graduate degree is a desirable thing. If you have a year of eligibility to play basketball and get a scholarship at a good academic school to play basketball as a grad student, why not do it? In effect you have been given a free pass that pays 50% of your 2 year Masters degree. What can you do with a masters degree? As it turns out quite a lot more than what you can with a college degree. If you can also spend the year playing basketball much the better. Now, I am assuming that if you become a 5th year player you know you are not NBA material. So enjoy the play and the 50% ride on the cost of your masters degree. Make it count, an MBA will make a lot more money for you than an MA in literature will. By the way that is what I would recommend AM to do, get a basketball scholarship and enroll in an MBA. Can you imagine AM in a high level corporate spot after getting an MBA? Woo Wee... Not sure he can do that since SLU has an MBA program. He's got to find a school that offers a program we don't have. Philandering? We don't offer that last time I checked.

Old guy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 He needs a specific MBA program that is not covered in SLU. Most schools cover the standard stuff, and then offer a few more specialized programs. I really have no idea what kind of programs, other than the standard ones, are offered at SLU. He has to look into this if he wants to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bobby is a free agent now. He'd be a good video coordinator candidate. Cutting spots telling people what they think. Pair him up with Thermostatt. Talk about a winning combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm curious how the terms are defined for these things. I know SIUE has a master's program specifically in speech communication. SLU has several communication grad programs but not one for "speech" specifically. I wonder if a student in McBroom's situation would be allowed to enroll in a program like that. There are probably tons more examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sure it is possible. An MBA school just like a law school, or a grad school of education has any number of specialized programs. You can get programs in anything you want, from international bartering to the development of synthetic trading algorithms. The problem is to find an MBA school that has a suitable specialized program in a university that has a basketball program at D1 or D2 level. You can always defend your position that your desire is to have an MBA in international bartering, and use it to get approval, although this may take some work. Look at it this way: if you find an MBA school with a program in international bartering you can be almost certain that a) very few if any other MBA schools will offer such a program, and your basic required courses for the MBA will be the same as everyone else's. You will graduate with an MBA, and you may even be able to switch programs after your basketball scholarship ends. This is not unattainable. I bet that there are any number of MBA special programs available elsewhere that are not offered at the SLU Cook School of Business. It is worth a try.

ARon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Keith Savage is transferring from GW. Will be immediately eligible and wants to play PG full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Though apparently if Savage transfers in-conference GW could make him wait a year before being eligiblez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello · 7h7 hours ago Memphis transfer Nick King tells ESPN he plans to visit Ole Miss and Arkansas.

cheeseman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Though apparently if Savage transfers in-conference GW could make him wait a year before being eligiblez How can they do that if he has graduated?

SLU_Nick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So..did Fordham just outrecruit us for this one? Or was Jermaine Bishop our preference over Hardnett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 One would think once Bishop committed, we backed off Hardnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So Crews said a few weeks back (paraphrase)he expects this to be the final roster. Has there been any serious activity for the 2015 class? is it all for 2016 now and Tatum or bust? It might be another long year this coming year...What happens to Crews if the 2016 class is bust?

Dwayne's_World Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Even "if" Tatum commits elsewhere do we have solid backup plans? I know we are pursuing Sneed but who else are we currently recruiting that's strongly considering SLU? Anyways, it's still Tatum or bust.

slufan13 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Seems like we're recruiting a ton of guys. Doesn't seem like many have a ton of interest, but it's a little early to judge that. If we get Tatum, some of these guys will become a lot more interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been a qualifier out of HS which would mean he could transfer out of juco after his first or second year. Or it could be an error by Winton.

I would be surprised if we fill this last available scholarship this spring, unless a 5th year player becomes an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Other sources I have seen have him listed as a Class of 2016, which would make more sense. Agreed. Mizzou has no more scholarships for 2015 so I can't imagine they are recruiting him for that class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
