kshoe Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Welp, the distribution of playing time is becoming less of an issue. By the way, keep you eye on Hankton. I've heard positive reviews of how he's been practicing. ChangeOfPace likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majerus mojo Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 THEORY: Welmer is a Dr. Pestello mole, planted to keep tabs on Coach Ford and the basketball program. He has never played basketball in his life and his eligibility will never run out ChangeOfPace likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos gone, Welmer out lets just assume for his career at this point, and Jacobs a solid maybe. That is 10 (assumed) healthy scholarship guys right now. Not a huge margin for error with bigs either. Time to suit up Phil Forte under an assumed alias as a walk on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is it just me or has the team been cursed since Stu started covering them? Ffs, we can’t catch a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Welmer was going to play zero mins a game. It’s going to be annoying when we have a cold shooting night and MBMs pine for EW. The Jacobs thing is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos was going to contribute. Then Welmer was going to contribute. Wiley has a history of injuries and Jacobs was going to provide another athletic guard off the bench.

Glorydays2013 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Can we please kick welmer off the team so we have an extra scholarship. One of the biggest wastes of a scholarship in NCAA history. I like the guy but the scholarship was for basketball, something he hasn’t given back with all the money going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorydays2013 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Bess, Goodwin, Gordon, French, Isabell, Thatch, DJ, Thor, Wiley is not a bad rotation. remember we beat Va Tech with Roby and Hines on the court, two players who wouldn’t be in a 8 man rotation this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move on. Welmer hasn’t even been evaluated yet. Goodwin, Bess, Wiley, Isabell, Thatch. Find me minutes for Jacobs. Also find me minutes for Hankton.

Old guy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The problem with Elliott Welmer's foot is not totally unexpected. He had a foot fracture initially which re-fractured later on. He did fine with a lot of rest and recovered to be able to walk and even run in a perfectly normal manner. However, his foot just could not take the stress of play (in this case the strain of practice) and he is out indefinitely now. With the prior loss of Santos, this leaves 11 scholarship players. Let's hope Demarius Jacobs' issue will be solved quickly and that no one else will be sidelined for any reason. We can still do it.

Littlebill Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hello all, this bills team will be the best team we’ve had since AT LEAST 2014. What were you doing in 2014? That was a long time ago. Old Guy turned 96, and 05 had his first wine cooler. Literally nothing that is said here is permanent. Temporary bad news, sure. It does not say “welmer out for year,” or “Jacobs didn’t qualify” Wait, our two GT guards are practicing and are 100%? Our POY candidate’s broken nose isn’t a major issue and is practicing already? We have the best backcourt in the league, and the best fromtcourt in the league (With or without Jacobs and Welmer) ? We have two local recruits and a sharpshooter coming in next season? Oh. Who knew. But I thought it was hard being a Billiken fan? Roll Bills. See you all in Minneapolis. GoBills73 and David King like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
