slu72 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 While Travis' comments on Wellmer were encouraging, I never really thought he'd play. That foot thing has got to be chronic. Missed two years now likely 3. We keep waiting on him, and it's probably not going to happen. Billiken Rich likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It's the end of the world as we know it and DON'T feel fine. My hair is on fire and I'm running around like Forest Gump on meth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welmer hasn’t even been evaluated yet. Goodwin, Bess, Wiley, Isabell, Thatch. Find me minutes for Jacobs. Also find me minutes for Hankton. Not so concerned with Jacobs in terms of our guard depth. However, losing Santos and potentially Welmer is a huge hit. And you have to talk Santos when you talk about expectations for the team. He was going to be our starting center. I like each of DJ, French and Gordon, but none of the 3 give us what Santos or Welmer would have. This is a tough day, no other way to slice it.

Counting on Welmer was like counting on your lottery winnings. We'll miss Jacobs more than Welmer if this horror show is fully consummated..... majerus mojo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's reasonable to believe the Head Coach when he says a player is 100%. I know it's crazy, but Ford likely had better insight than any of us MBMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Santos is still the only real bummer to me. I know the Staff was saying Welmer was good to go but I never expected it. It’s been this way with him for a couple years now. I didn't think Jacobs was going to get a lot of PT with our guard rotation and he still might play. It stings a bit but it doesn’t change my expectations. SLU_Lax and RiseOfTheBillikens like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jacobs news really is the least concerning. Like you said between Isabell, Jgood, Thatch, Wiley, Bess...how much time is/was he really going to get?
