TFord and TRavs Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Can’t wait for the full squad to take a pic together. Going to be an intimidating team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 As someone pointed out earlier, our biggest hurdle this year is probably the fact that 9 of our 13 players have never played a game together in a Billiken uniform. Given that, I hope we see Isabell, Wiley and "Thor" reporting in shortly. I know it is early but they need all the time together they can get working as part of this team. Jacobs, I cut some slack as he is working on some academic issues, but as soon as that is solved (hopefully very soon) I hope he gets here to catch up as I believe that he could be a real contributor to the team's success this year. Regarding Roy's free throws comment, specifically regarding Hassan, I agree. I can't imagine that TF and staff are not working on that issue and that HF knows the importance of becoming, at the very least, a fair FT shooter. Surely he doesn't want to sit out the end of games this year either. BTW, Foreman and Goodwin could stand to improve also. It did seem that Jordan improved as the year progressed , but if he is going to have the ball in his hands at the end of games then he needs to continue to improve that part of his game. If anyone can help with the FT problem it is most likely Ford himself, who was a great FT shooter in college. slu72 and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and hopefully French can make big improvements there. Could net him an extra 3 or 4 points a game just at the line. That said, fortunately Santos and Gordon appear to be decent free throw shooters. Gordon was a 66% shooter last year, while Santos is a career 72% FT shooter. If French and Foreman can't move their percentages up, we may be leaning on these two down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Boy, Rothstein's paying a lot of attention to SLU this offseason. I think he's looking forward to late March when he smiles at his colleagues and says, "I told you so." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can help with the FT problem it is most likely Ford himself, who was a great FT shooter in college. Confirming this. Each player was given a list of “basic” priorities to work on going into the summer (3 pt., explosiveness/acceleration, ball handling, etc.). For Has, free throws and mid/long range shooting were near the top of that list - We’ll see the results and honesty of HF’s work come Fall.

hmart23 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Really excited to see these bigs play. This is not a knock on Gordon in any way but he looks considerably smaller than the other three. Santos French and Foreman just look massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
