I think it might have been part of some sort of tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 In the wacky world of ranking system equations, while we slept, the Billikens jumped 9 positions in the NCAA NET, moving from 70 to 61 by doing nothing. I guess the Wiz is going to have to come in and explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I talked to SLU's Elliott Welmer about his foot and his future. Watch @stltoday tomorrow for an update. He hasn't quite given up on playing. — stu durando (@studurando) December 26, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Cheering for EW but it doesn’t sound like he’ll ever see the court again. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/four-foot-fractures-later-slu-s-welmer-holds-out-hope/article_90431b25-8530-57b0-a0ec-f1e1e81f2005.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I feel bad for Wellmer and the team. If he could have hit 3's we'd be a different team. He also was a pretty good shot blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Introduced myself and said to one of his co workers who I knew that Mo had one of the greatest Billiken dunks of all time. Mo immediately said St. Bonaventure. Nice man. Interesting, so he is coaching with Kelvin Lee now? For some reason I didn't realize he was back in St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone else a little disappointed we haven't seen more of Jacobs? We were all pretty high on him when Travis signed him, yet he's not really had much of a chance to prove what he can do. I know he had a problem with TO's against one of the mids we played, but that might have been more about nerves than skill level. He came here because he seemed to have a scorer's mentality, yet as we continue to struggle getting points he's primarily a spectator. While we haven't been in a position to insert the new guys into games because we've been unable to build comfortable leads, but really thought this kid had a shot at being a solid player for us.

Would he be eligible to play as a walk on since he only played 1 year of ncaa basketball? I’m sure there’s a waiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandably Ford needs more of a sure thing with that scholarship long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Life is ***** and then you die - the point is stuff happens in life and you just have to roll with it. I am sorry basketball did not work out for EW through no fault of his own but we have been more than fair to him. Now it is time for him to get out of our way and stop taking up a seat at the training table. SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly he has a long life ahead of him. I hope he hasn’t already damaged that quality of life and already I assume he will eventually have arthritis or other foot complications in his future. Another bad injury could make it worse and could leave him permanently hobbled. His body has been through a lot and I hope he lets it rest without the strains of D1 basketball.
