brianstl Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I like that they got Katz in to do this. It is a shame more people aren't watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not much of a surprise, but Ford says Welmer likely won't be available until conference play kicks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 When asked to name individuals: High praise for Bess and French. Briefly mentioned transfers Foreman and Henriquez. Mentioned the returnees. No mention of Jordan. Obviously, that creates some anxiety since Goodwin's probably the highest rated FR in the league.

Lack of mention for Goodwin could be a result of him missing practice due to the Achilles scare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's it, but he also didn't mention Graves or Bishop. Although, he did name Henriquez. Probably a little bit of Billiken paranoia on my part.

TheChosenOne Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Who knows, always hard to know how much to read into these interviews. It could just be him showing a bit of tough love if he isn't mentioning some of the guys who used poor judgement and are involved in that situation or it could be nothing at all and was an unintentional oversight.

Franchise_08 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Lowest I have seen from anyone. Just wait till I they get smacked in the face by this waive of talent. Not sold on the love for St Joe. They still have Martelli, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The problem with mentioning names is anybody that is left out is then perceived by others as bad. While the best way to go is say everyone is doing great but that is not what people hear. In a couple of weeks we will know who is doing what.

HoosierPal Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 7th is fine. It is what it is and means very little. Stand back and look at our roster from the vantage point of one of the other 13 media outlets. Our three main transfers include the 31st highest scorer in the AAC for the 15-16 season, a forward from the worst team in the Big 10 who averaged single figures, and a player from Michigan State who only got in 11 minutes per game. (Forget about Graves, he has no track record to date that is worth evaluating). If Dayton added the 31st scorer in the AAC, a nice player from a bad Big 10 team and a player who was fading out at MSU, would we be going, "Oh my gosh - look out for Dayton!" No we wouldn't. If you need freshmen to carry your team, even in the A-10, you are asking for a lot unless you have a group of McD All Americans. So 7th is fine. Use it, if needed, as a grudge. Or just go out and play your best ball. Too bad about Welmer out until conference. This will put us only 10 deep for the OOC. We know three players have been nicked up in practice. Others are coming off of surgery. We lost 28 player-games last season due to injury. Injuries will occur. Add inevitable foul trouble, and all 10 will be seeing significant minutes in the OOC.

Its a made up rivalry trophy thought up by the guys over at The Black Burn Review... Which is actually well run and pretty decent reading other than the fact that it is Dayton-centric. I believe there was an entire thread about it on this site at one point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
