hsmith19 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The bigs are going to look like malnourished pansies compared to Big 12 players Travis Ford is used to seeing. It is not acceptable to stay skinny and get pushed around. You would think. In reality, his bigs last year were mostly undersized Agbeko types. His only true center actually bore a passing resemblance to Austin Gillmann: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I am not sure jolly would be effective even at a D2 or D3 level. Frankly I think he is an intramural player. I would take him on the Gorloks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 As someone from OSU said, Ford rarely has bigs who are decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The fact that Milik said he was withdrawing from school suggest he was having achedemic problems. Why not finish the semester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 To bring this full circle, perhaps MY can follow Keith Carter's lead and expand his Horizon at Valpo and thereby get to play, after all, under that outstanding bench coach.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. My guess is he go to a school near Chicago . Valpo/ISU/Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 ISU would be a good landing spot. His dad was a decent player there, easier academics, and closer to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiehardFan Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The fact that Milik said he was withdrawing from school suggest he was having achedemic problems. Why not finish the semester? It would not shock me if he withdraws in the middle of the semester. He seems to have trouble balancing school and basketball. He has tutors to help him. He may hurt the APR regardless of finishing the semester or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Heavier than Gilman, more like Neufeld. That kid is listed at 7'0", 240. Gillmann 6'10", 220, and Neufeld 6'11", 220. Maybe tall, skinny, dark-haired white boys just look alike to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This wouldn't surprise me at all. My guess is he go to a school near Chicago . Valpo/ISU/Bradley Anyone transferring from SLU to a school like Bradley would have to be suffering from more than just academic issues.

bauman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 For the life of me I don't know why it's been over 2 years since AG committed to SLU and he is still a stick. Same comment on EW. He looks even thinner than AG, if that's possible. Does SLU not get it's commits to start working in the weight room as soon as they sign the NLI? After all this time on campus, how can these 2 (and MN to a lesser degree) still be this thin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 what a fuoking idiot. it's y'all. can't even do redneck **** right. get. back. in your GOTDAMN washbasin. I hope when Jolly transfers (which should be on Ford's list of things to do over the next few weeks) he points to jimbofive as a reason for that decision.
