Really? Have you played competitive sports? Your number is YOUR number. Seniority usually gets dibs but if you're a competitive player you are going to want your number, and if a freshmen comes in trying to take it, they better earn it over you. It really isn't a big deal but if Zeke is handing it over easily that's not the best sign of him staying which is purely speculative but again no player would just hand their number over without a fuss.

I played competitive sports in High School and Base level sports in the USAF and I never worried too much about a number. If I had a number that was important to a new player, I'd have probably let him have it. Just wasn't a big deal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I played in high school and college (DIII). I could CARE LESS what number I had. All I cared about was the school name on the front. "Zeke doesn't have too much confidence in himself " No No No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is leading a mature, insightful, and, frankly, a healthy debate amongst the faithful. Please, let us continue to dissect the inner workings of Number Selection!

RiseAndGrind Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Jerry Meyer flipped his crystal ball prediction for Tilmon to Mizzou. Makes it seem like Walker not returning to Illinois is the trending opinion. fwiw I think he also switched to slu back when that was a thing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The number became available for Goodwin because Moore communicated that he was leaning towards leaving; I doubt the program ripped the number away from him to offer to another player. Jersey numbers can't be that important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Again, I said that because Moore's number was up for grabs according to what I saw from Goodwin's tweet, I said it was a sign that Zeke would leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
