keyser soze Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If some rumors of 2 more transfers are true, that will mean potentially 6 new scholarship players again next season to go along with 6 new players last season, minus 2 frosh, leaving 10 underclassmen. I hope my math is correct, please correct me....if I'm wrong. But needless to say that's way too much turnover 2 years in a row. When does Chris begin asking questions of the Staff as to what the hell is going on... He's got a new boss, plus there is a board Chair that has PASSION.....for the game and "his" team. I think serious red flags are all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbofive Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 ehhhhh, majerus cleaned house after big classes a couple times, too, that worked out. i think this dream of every player earning 4 years of playing time the second they sign that LOI needs to end. you get one or two years to prove worth, and if you don't, your sh.it is expendable. nipping entitlement in the bud is a solid game plan going forward for this team and this generation as a whole.

Old guy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Jimbo, you are preaching nipping entitlement in the bud to an entitled society. Good for you! we need much more of that going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 How many years of rebuilding is Crews entitled to? He belongs to easily the most entitled generation in American history. Today's college students are the ones who will be forced to pay the note for that entitlement. At some point it's got to be time to shift the "accountability" talk away from the kids playing for a free education and back to the coach who brought them here in the first place. I'll be anxious to see whether everyone's attitude changes if there is not significant improvement next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Where are these 6 coming from - 2 seniors and TL and AM - who else is leaving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Folks "in the know" are claiming two more transfers are coming in the other thread. Add in Grandy and Manning and that's six. Yeah, Majerus churned the roster too, but hopefully everyone can recognize by now that Crews ain't Majerus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like some are already laying the groundwork to forgive Crews if next season sucks, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've heard Jolly and Reynolds, but before you go bashing me I don't have any official sources. Just hear-say around campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The 6 new players would be the 2 already signed, 2 for TL and AM, and the 2 rumored to be leaving. Landing 4 decent recruits in the Sprong is unheard of for SLU. I hope they are really careful how they deal with these and not just give them to marginal players. They should be on the phone to BC, CE, and RL asking for videos of good down under kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Only one I could be persuaded it may happen would be MY and that is only because he has a bit of a head case aura so far. otherwise I don't see anyone that should not be kind of happy playing time wise.

AlumniFan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've heard Jolly and Reynolds, but before you go bashing me I don't have any official sources. Just hear-say around campus. From what I have heard, Reynolds is here because he wants to play basketball, not because he needs scholarship money. I cannot imagine him going to a lot of places where he has a high likelihood of more playing time unless he drops down to another level.

If it's all about basketball, then why wouldn't he leave for more playing time elsewhere? But I do agree, I don't think he leaves. I used to think him and Jolly were gone, but I am starting to really doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do agree, I don't think he leaves. I used to think him and Jolly were gone, but I am starting to really doubt that. Just that, as a sophomore at SLU, it would seem he has a high likelihood of playing time at SLU (especially with AM's departure) whereas going somewhere else significantly increases the uncertainty around his playing time. That's really all I was saying. The other related point is that I don't think money is an issue for his family at all so it's all about bball.

GOSLU68 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Jolly could leave but Reynolds has the best speed on the team-small and skinny but time will take care of that> The things wrong with Jolly's game are pretty much Manning year 1 and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already seems more coordinated than Manning ever was. Also has better range. Manning was so herky-jerky and methodical out there. I don't see the same things from Jolly. Forget what game it was, but he hit a fade away jumper with the shot clock expiring that Manning could've shot a hundred times and never made. It's like Manning was never comfortable with being 6'11". Jolly seems to have good coordination for being a big man. I like Jolly's potential, especially if he can put on some weight and work on his defense. I think he will come around offensively with time. Hope he stays.

Hope he stays. this is crap, jolly pulls that fadeaway out of his ass. manning had very good range out to 18 feet. he just had the worst mobility and hands of all time. a NEW AGE bills team that makes the tourney most years cannot have manning or jolly on it.

slufan13 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Believe it or not, but Lancona averaged more points, rebounds, assists, and steals than Jolly this season. He played 1 less minute per game. Lancona also had a better FG% and 3FG% than Jolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
