I can delete the text inside the other person's post, but I can't actually delete the little box. This happens every once in a while without rhyme or reason. I have to post in order to get the box finally off by back before I can post again. Anybody else experiencing this? i have had that too, one thread i kept trying to respond and when i hit reply i had a whole unsent post sitting there. I think you can hit clear or some such and it erases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon-Balls Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 First time seeing them in any pictures this season. That means they've gotta be playing this weekend... But can we talk about French's hair? JohnnyJumpUp likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon-Balls Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not to mention Graves is front and center next to Ford, and even Chris May is in the pic. I have a feeling we will might see our whole squad in action this weekend. Bishop also retweeted this if it means anything: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could win every remaining game by 50, lose in the A-10 championship game by 1, and still get stiffed for the NCAA tourney. Just not worth it if we can get an extra full year from any of them.

Graves is, by NCAA rules, allowed to travel now. If Graves would be allowed to travel at this point. If he’s allowed to play then he’s only missed like 2-3 games I don’t see a reason not to play him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Players are coming back. We're winning it all. Ford is taking the Louisville job. Crews comes back. Then we finally hire a soccer coach. rgbilliken, QUAILMAN and johnbj14 like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

615Billiken Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Maybe if we all volunteer our time to help the university solve this quickly and agree to log the hours for the 200 years in 1 challenge then the university might allow us. it’s a win win-we get our team, the university can add hours to their stupid little digital clock on Grand and Lindell.

If so, is that a new rule? I remember traveling with a redshirt back when I was at SLU 15 or so years. I've been doing a little reasearch on this tonight and redshirt players actually are allowed to travel. Source: https://healthfully.com/college-basketball-redshirting-rules-6716421.html Redshirted athletes are allowed to travel, practice and even dress for competition for their team during their redshirt season, but the minute they step on the playing field, they lose their redshirt status and use a season of eligibility. I think this might be the reason for the confusion. This rule applies to transfers: Academic year in residence: Under the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an academic year in residence at the school to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year in residence at the new school before you can play for or receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you qualify for a transfer exception or waiver. To satisfy an academic year in residence, you must be enrolled in and successfully complete a full-time program of studies for two-full semesters or three-full quarters. Summer school terms and part-time enrollment do not count toward fulfilling an academic year in residence. So it's not that they aren't allowed to travel, it's that they can't have their travel paid for until they've been there a year, functionally making transfers non-travel players. Graves didn't travel during the first semester because he hadn't completed one year in residence yet. Now he can travel with them. Henriquez has already completed an entire year at SLU, so he could travel all season long. The rule never applied to Bishop, because he never transferred. Keen eyes will notice that it's actually not a full team photo because Santos isn't there; this is his year in residence. This rule only applies to transfers and not freshmen taking a redshirt or medical redshirts. In short, traveling on this trip has no impact on the status of Graves or Henriquez. We still don't know if they'll play this season, and they haven't jeopardized anything because of it. 2010andBeyond, Zink and GBL_Bills like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
