cheeseman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Can someone explain to me why Stu tweeted - "if all sign" SLU 2018 class is full. What is up with that? Is our beat writer just trolling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is our beat writer just trolling? I wouldn't read too much into that. I think that is a fair disclaimer for any signing class. FWIW, Thatch tweeted to Pearson, "Welcome to the family" and Gordon retweeted that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't say the class is full until everyone has signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I get what you all are saying but he did not need to qualify the tweet. All he had to say is Pearson is the final verbal for SLU for this year. NOI is (whatever the date is). I agree that he probably did not mean anything by it but to me this is another example of our supposed guy covering us seems to make sure that nothing is ever upbeat without qualifying it - words do matter. I guess it is just me but I get tired of reading Dave Matter's honking for Missouri and all we get is a comment that has to be qualified.

Since you brought up Missouri, now that they are playing Kansas again (something widely thought to be impossible), renewed hope for SLU/Mizzou series?

NO I did not bring up Missouri - I used their beat writer as an example. Never did I open a discussion about that school/team. Good grief!

almaman Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Stu's saying exactly what it is imo. Not till they all actually can legally sign is it over but right now all seats are taken unless one thru four of them don't commit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right - if the sun comes up tomorrow then there will be daylight. Sorry, I just think he did not have to qualify it as he did. Technically he is right but so was by stupid statement.

NH Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thought that was fine to say by Stu. Similar to when someone says "pending physicals" regarding free agents in professional sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Stu said that because coach Martin will be calling all 3 coaches to see how strong their commitments are. Try not to overreact VTime, its in blue font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decommitments happen to every school. Rumors were out there that Gordon wasn't 100%. Nothing wrong with what he said. Hopefully, all sign on November 8th and we can start the season not worrying about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can think what you want but I watch what people do and he does next nothing for us and I am tired of hearing that he has too much to do.

slu72 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's in Billiken fans' DNA to always expect the worst, while we pray to Buddhist Billie for the best. That's why every word uttered or tweeted by the media is analyzed to the nth degree. The word "if" is especially upsetting to us true Billiken fans.
