RUBillsFan Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I had to do a double take and make sure this was the same Jalen Johnson. As a freshman, he played with Mike Crawford and Reggie Agbeko during Ford's first year at SLU! Guys who are already 5th years because of a RS transfer year sticking around an extra COVID year seem like they've been around forever. Jalen has now gone SLU (2 years) > Louisiana (1 RS year, 1 year) > Mississippi St (1 year) > Texas A&M (1 year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&M was much worse than Mississippi State last year. I'd call it sort of a lateral move. He'll probably be a regular rotation player like he was at Miss St, but not the focal point like he was with Louisiana. Certainly A&M and Miss St are a big a step up from Louisiana.

Alternatively: It appears he's found exactly what he is looking for - more high level college basketball in the Greater Louisiana vicinity. Good for him.

Compton Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I suppose Slovenia is a lower-rated league, but Novo Mesto seems like a great place to land. And Slovenian basketball is getting some extra attention these days thanks to Luka Doncic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ making a mistake moving. Must be a grad year transfer as i think SEC has penalties for in conference transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crymdg2 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Looks like #KingConk is headed to Turkey. I'm pretty sure that the Turkish League is high up there in terms of overall talent and skill. Obviously I'll defer to @thetorch on this though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the Turkish Super League, It’s the third ranked foreign league, allegedly. Not sure what league this is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would just beam with pride as he would talk about Paul. I don’t remember, did Paul ever get a scholarship? Either way, one of the great Billiken student athletes that makes being a SLU fan so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was on athletic scholarship all but one year, and then received an academic scholarship to cover his last year of undegrad.

Popular Post NH Posted October 20 Popular Post Share Posted October 20 One of my favorite Eckerle stories is when SLU was playing against Memphis in a closed-door scrimmage, and Eckerle was having trouble staying in front of his man. Majerus kept laying into Eckerle during timeouts until eventually Porter Moser said something to Rick about the player Eckerle was guarding and Rick turned around and said "wait, THAT'S Derrick Rose?"
