Deuce Bellow transferring from Missouri

[willie]

Deuce is supposed to graduate this spring and will transfer as a 5th year player. He was suspended in December for 5 games for academic reasons. What's wrong with this picture?

Thanks - I needed a laugh!

Academic reasons can be something as minor as missing a study succession or a class.

5 games?

5 games?

It does seem like it was something bigger, but Anderson didn't seem to willing to put up with any crap this season.

Was featured a lot on hoopmixtape quite a bit in high school, just saying.

-that's a good one

I suppose, and may quite likely be wrong in this assumption, that to transfer and play a 5th year this man would have to be enrolled into some kind of academic program that Mizzou does not offer. Since Mizzou is so large and offers so very many diverse academic programs, both undergraduate and graduate, it may be difficult to find something that SLU offers and Mizzou does not. It may even be more difficult to find a program that this man may actually be able to maintain adequate grades and meets all other criteria for the transfer. I do not think, however good a basketball player he may be, that this is a viable option for SLU.

We will not have any interest in him, Deuce Bello is really bad. The fact that he was at one time a highly rated recruit is baffling. His only ability is throwing down impressive dunks in the layup line.

[White Pelican]

Yeah, I don't think anyone on this thread was advocating that we go get him. It was just the irony of a senior year suspension for "academic reasons" and he is now going to pursue a master's degree. Oh, and play some more basketball.

I can actually think of a few grad programs SLU offers but Mizzou doesn't off the top of my head--urban planning, sustainability, international business, a bunch of the health care stuff, etc. Still not sure we would want Bellow here, though, unless SLU is just really desperate to improve the average recruit ranking out of high school.

[Old guy]

If this is the case and he is interested in any one of these programs and can keep his academic grades, then he might be able to transfer to SLU

Old Guy, please understand NO ONE is advocating or desiring Deuce Bello to play for SLU. Pretend there was "OT:" at the beginning of the title.

[Old guy]

Got it, thanks Bills on Crews control. I have no idea who he is, so I am not advocating his coming here.
