kshoe Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 53 minutes ago, willie said: Frank had a brief interview with Travis on the morning news. Ford smiled at the possibility of the 3 seniors sticking around. He said seniors will not count on future rosters. So you could have 13 players plus whatever senior who would want to play. I take this to mean it doesn't effect anyone but seniors. I would like some clarity too, but I think ALL players are now going to have 5 years of playing eligibility. the seniors are unique in that if they come back it won't count against the scholarship limit. But others could choose to come back and finish a masters degree or whatever. A guy like Jimerson could play 5.3 years when all is said and done. At least that's my current understanding. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank also acted like ALL players are getting an extra year of eligibility this year. Because of this, he reiterated that he thinks SLU won’t recruit any high school players this year and will look at transfers and Juco players. I’m not sure if that’s an assumption he’s making or if he’s been told that by the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More transfers? -on hurting development I don't think so, a lot of minutes at 3 other spots to be had and if you want minutes from JGood or JPerk you better up your game to take them so to me the internal competition would make guys improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we've lost out on Nesbitt, and knowing that we might be better positioned for the following year's class, this seems like a sensible way to go.

thetorch Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Even if it was good for the program I would hate to see Goodwin and Perkins stay. There is a finite amount of time for them to make good money overseas. "Wasting" another year in college means losing a year of 6 figure income. Looking back Dwayne Evans has made comments that he played through injuries his Sr season that forced him to miss a year in the pros. He wishes he would have sat out his Sr year in hindsight rather than losing a year of income and pro development.

Scoop Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think a 3rd year of D1 ball for Perkins might get him in the league. Compton, SLUMedBilliken15, BIG BILL FAN and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
