Bills By 40 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Very neat. Especially if the honorable mentions are in some sort of numerical order, meaning that Jordair ranked higher than people like Adreian Payne, Marcus Smart and Fred VanVleet.

thetorch Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does Jett get his jersey retired now? He did win POY and All American Honorable Mention. Compared to Bonner he racked up more awards. A case can be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromDaEastSide Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does Jett get his jersey retired now? He did win POY and All American Honorable Mention. Compared to Bonner he racked up more awards. A case can be made. A very good case to be honored with Boushka, Ferry and Bonner. JJ finished 18th overall in total points - 1239, 3rd in assists w/ 422 and 3rd in steals at 174. The other two SLU All-Americans not retired/honored are Ray Steiner (51/52) and Larry Hughes. BTW, did Larry ever come back for a degree?

hsmith19 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I certainly wouldn't object, but I would be surprised if his jersey is retired, considering a guy like Claggett's still hasn't been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of all america recognition is required for jerseys. Claggett never achieved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Congrats to JJ the Jet Plane for getting some AA recogniton. Well done! Now, make some FTs at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Where might that "next level" be? Where do you see him ending up? NY Giants, starting safety by year '15. Special teams this fall. And he'll block a FG or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Someone on the A-10 board posted, "every D1 conference POY/MVP is automatically named an honorable mention," for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Someone on the A-10 board posted, "every D1 conference POY/MVP is automatically named an honorable mention," for what it's worth. Yeah...kind of a Richard move to post that...because the league got so many AAs as it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Some sort of all america recognition is required for jerseys. Claggett never achieved that. Seems like kind of an arbitrary distinction...Claggett was the all time leading scorer in the Great Midwest, even if never an All-American.

billikenbill Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Where might that "next level" be? Where do you see him ending up? If not the NFL, then the NBDL, or overseas. Didn't mean to imply the Association. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If not the NFL, then the NBDL, or overseas. Didn't meant to imply the Association. Well I'm interested to hear others' thoughts. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit it big in the D-League or the NFL! Or he'd be a beast in arena football. That'd be fun to watch. Wherever he ends up I hope I get to watch him play pro sports somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It really wouldn't surprise me to see him in the NFL. I believe he was a very good high school football player. And given the NFL's recent trend of at least looking at college bball players, I bet he gets a little attention from the NFL. As NFL teams scour the market after the draft, someone will kick the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Jett could play in Europe for big money for 10 years or more. No sense wasting that for a tryout in the NFL, where one play could end your career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Where might that "next level" be? Where do you see him ending up? JJ's lack of a perimeter shot is what will hold him back but the higher levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 My only advice to JJ is stick to what you love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
