billiken_roy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 EJ Liddell, starting freshman at Belleville West, made his high school debut last night vs Ladue at the Vianney tourney. Led West in scoring with 19. Hope Tommie's horrible experience with rickma doesn't shut us out. Our trump card, supposedly recently retired and slu legend, justin love is now on the West coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hopefully Tommie has matured enough that he realizes his "experience" was of his own doing. EJ is a nephew or cousin?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebilliken Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 According to Hudl, he's a 6'6" freshman at 240 with a 4.7 second 40... That's insane. I for one AM SUPER EXCITED to go through another four years of speculation about a super recruit. #bartscott #cantwait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Tyler Dancy and Liddell up front. That's a whole lot of beef. If West had a little better guard play, they would be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 RM>TL Hopefully this kid won't skip practice to get his hair done. Not that it really matters, but the time TL was kept out of the starting lineup arriving late to a game because he was getting his hair braided was under Soderberg. By the way, did Tommie end up graduating? I know he didn't with the rest of his class, but I thought I heard he had gone back to school.

There was definitely a practice incident under RM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I thought it was a team meal he was late to, not a game or a practice: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2007-12-26/sports/0712250251_1_rick-majerus-college-basketball-utah/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game in Soderberg's last season that Tommie didn't start. I think he was benched for all or most of the first half. Heard post-game that he was late because he went to get his hair braided in East St. Louis and got stuck in traffic on the PSB on the way back.

TL appearing to basically quit on Senior Night as we blew a big lead against LaSalle was certainly not a great final memory. Would rather have guys like BC, JJ and DE.

thetorch Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Liddell was benched a half or most of one for being late to a function before a game under Majerus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I doubt TLIII would have been a Billiken if Majerus was in place during his recruitment. Lisch I can see. Liddell, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orphanfan Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Watched EJ at the Centralia Holiday Tournament and he's as good as advertised! 2nd team all tourney He finished 7th in scoring 68pts 17 a game 5th in rebounding 26 6.5 a game Tied for 1st in blocks 9 2.2 a game The talent in this tourney was awesome. The best I've seen in years. The top ranked soph in the state Tim Finke a 6-6 guard and his 6-7 brother Nick from Champaign Central (Army) also brother Micheal plays at U of I. Darrell Brown Jr 5-10 Tulsa DeMarcus Mitchell 6-7 Tenn Martin Nathan Hoover 6-4 Wofford and several other Jrs and Sophs that are d-1 talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
