mechee89 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Should we go ahead and predict what our next unfortunate turn of events will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 *shrugs* Probably a combination of grades and a bad attitude once he realized he was already behind Gordon on the depth chart. If this is the worst news we get this season, we’re golden. Billikid likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 This sucks and it's going to hurt the team. We will never know how much but it will hurt. He obviously did something so he gets a big middle finger from me. Unfortunately, with all that went down last year these guys need to be perfect angels. If it seems like a bad idea it probably is. It may not be fair but the basketball team will be held to a higher standard because of the bad press from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without Santos, I don't think any of the current teams on our schedule will outmatch a front court of French Gordon and Foreman. Still, Brianstl made a good point about his impact on practices and scrimmaging. This is definitely a blow but I don't believe it will derail our chances of being a top 25 caliber team or winning the A10 outright (As long as the rest of our bigs stay healthy)....

I don't need to agree, but you answered my question. I asked for your explanation and you provided it. Thank you. We all obviously hope all players remain healthy. It is now more important than it was yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board also said Cody Ellis would be a Wooden award winner, Zeke Moore would be someday be better than Kwamain Mitchell, and Reggie Agbeko was an unstoppable outside shooter.

If we want to compete with the best we take some kids that may not have had the greatest upbringing and role models. This happens in every program. I want Ford to continue to take the best players possible even if situations like this may happen once in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Situation 2 involved 3 players that did not play at all that season, and one that did play partially (Goodwin). Situation 2 has been discussed for a long time and in great detail. It did effectively gut our team last season. Whatever happened with Santos he has withdrawn from SLU after being suspended indefinitely. It is tough to lose Santos, BUT the loss of one player does not gut our team for this season. As terrible as this is, he is apparently gone and the team remains in reasonably good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who saw the team play have said he may have been the most athletic with his combination of size and athleticism. This is a big loss. We lose the depth of our front line which was going to be a major strength going into this season. Very disappointing. We are a hurt DJ foreman away from being almost back to where we were last year in regards to our forward depth. Don't get me wrong still pumped for Friday. Just less pumped.
