Active Ex-Billiken Transfer List

[615Billiken]

Milik looking good for ISU. Running the point. Not scoring prolifically, but rebounding and assisting.Having a hard time finishing. Looking super lean.

[slusam]

Milik had 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists but ISU lost to Florida Gulf Coast.

We could use that...

[Compton]

Some solid stats for Milik, but giving up 98 including 5 players in double figures makes me think ISUs problems might be on the other side of the ball.

The last of the Crews' apologists.

[gobillsgo]

Milik is very talented no doubt. But he’s inconsistent. Also when under pressure he has a tendency to be very one dimensional- put his head down and bulls his way to the basket. 

Goodwin will be a consistent, better Milik.

If Crews were the coach we would’ve beat Seattle by 40 with Jolly MVP

just found this. @ half . Pacific getting creamed saw Miles drive and layup to end half. He's #3. asked tv provider to unlock. I hit Uverse and didn't ask for pw or anything.

[almaman]

They were down by 25 cut it to 5 with Miles in control. lost by 9 Reynolds had 20 I think.

Again, proof that the Crews teams' did not suffer from a severe shortage of talent.  The pieces just didn't fit.  Too many ball dominant players who couldn't shoot playing in an offense that required shooters.  And that was all Crews' fault.  His detractors probably have a point that he was in retirement mode and simply didn't want to put in the work of finding the right pieces.

Illinois State really bringing it to South Carolina.

 

Its only halftime and Yarborough has 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists. One of his assists was a beautiful pass from behind half court. He is so slim now its ridiculous.

Yep. That's the Milik we all know and love.

[slusam]

Milik looks nothing like the same old player.  I caught the second half and he was the best player on the floor. He handles the ball a lot and hit 14 free throws and had 6 assists. The 6 turnovers were not good.

 

[almaman]

Same with first half. May need to drop in on Arch Madness this season. still sucks out loud that they weren't given at large bid last season

Do you know if any of the turnovers were caused by the crazy drive to the basket?

His 18 points and free throw shooting was strong however 6 TO's and 4 fouls was not.

Good to see a regional team with a solid neutral court win.

I would like to see ISU on the SLU schedule.

[slusam]

The one offensive foul I saw was when he was in the air before he passed. I didn't see any of the 1 on 3 fouls he got at SLU. There were 8 players with 4 or more fouls.

[slufan13]

Not sure if we would have had to choose, but I'll take Jalen Johnson over Milik.

All day, but if this thread is just going to be bagging on Milik every ISU game, boy is that already getting old

[NH]

Agreed.

Agreed. I see no negative in Milik being super successful at ISU and no positive in him doing poorly. Not gonna watch every game and cheer him on but seems like a positive story to me if he’s improved and goes on to have a successful career at ISU

[3star_recruit]

Milik's role has changed and he's in much better shape. He was never going to get that role at SLU, that of being "the man." There are some guys that you have to give the keys to the car to get the most out of them. Milik is one of those guys.

He's probably going to average close to 4 turnovers a game this year. No SLU coach, including Coach Ford, would ever accept that.

[Bay Area Billiken]

ISU Red (1-1) 69 South Carolina 65- Final.

#52 Milik Yarbrough:  26 minutes, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists.

[NextYearBill]
