Yesterday I was perusing the remaining available grad transfers and it was very slim pickings. Getting a player like this who fills an obvious need is a huge get. This will take some pressure off the three freshmen guards and give them more time to develop. Great job Ford & co! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true (and I can't find anywhere else besides Frank) this is pretty huge news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 wow. The 2 spot was by far our biggest concern. We just filled that with someone who averaged 21 ppg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yes, Frank has really put himself out there. I hope this is not a case of him jumping the gun. I will feel a LOT better when other outlets start picking it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest question to me is how quick they can play to their potential and how tough the non-conference schedule will be. I think they are a favorite for the A10 title, which should make them an at large team at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 FIREBALL!!!!!!!!!! His commitment makes sense because he can play with French, CAG, Bess, and JGOOD which I think is better than the 4 he would play with at X or BC. This is the missing piece and now I see us as the top 2 teams in the A10. It is good to be a Billiken's fan. Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just added one of the best grad transfers in the country. Get excited. SLURadioBoy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 From a pure talent standpoint, is this the best Billiken team ever? It feels like that and the next best team doesn't even seem to be very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 He's exactly what the team needs in terms of his skill set. He's a big-time scorer who can also distribute. He wasn't a personality fit at Mizzou, so there are going to be some natural questions about chemistry. He wasn't the most efficient player at Drexel and definitely wanted the ball in hands with no fear of shooting. But Ford clearly wanted this guy badly, he had a relationship with Tate, and he's got the skills we were short on. This has potential to be a home run grad transfer. New scholarship chart: SR: Bess, Foreman, Isabell JR: Santos SO: Goodwin, French, Welmer FR: Gordon, Thatch, Pearson, Gudmundsson, Jacobs, Hankton By position: Guards: Goodwin, Isabell, Thatch, Gudmundsson, Jacobs Wings/Stretch Forwards: Bess, Welmer, Pearson, Hankton Bigs: French, Gordon, Santos, Foreman This is a super versatile, mostly multi-position roster with a lot of possibilities to adjust based on opponents. You could run Goodwin-Isabell-Bess-Gordon-French and just relentlessly attack less athletic teams. It'll be interesting to see how it works when this fall rolls around, but man, SLU has never had a roster like this before. I'm excited.
