Point is that Hankton was playing in places he shouldn't be, and has barely been used all year even at his strong suit on a wing. Why else would they force him into big positions unless they are trying to get him ready to take that role behind Foreman, being the new tallest guy off the bench. Gordon fouled out in literally 11 minutes 22 seconds. He could not have played one second more because he fouled out. And Hankton hasn't been used in most games mainly because he has not been healthy all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 One good thing is that he still had his jersey on in his Twitter profile picture. That usually seems to be the first thing to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach has repeatedly stated "we will need [insert name here]'s help come conference play". I took Hankton's appearance to give him some PT against a weak opponent and to just try and change things up. Personally, I was more concerned with the lack of starting. Some people could take that an an insult and based SOLEY on MBM's claim that Gordon can be immature, got me thinking there could be a problem. Still hoping this is just some sort of joke/attention seeking moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French still gonna be a beast inside. Foreman can be a role player. Easier to do what he did last year when he gets heavier minutes. If hankton can develop into a viable stretch big I think we look ok. Of course it's going to suck but if CG the only one that leaves and commitments stand firm it's not the end of the world. If he was a cancer in the locker room it's probably for the best anyway. All theoretical of course. Really hope this is all a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 This makes little sense if true. CG was in foul trouble for one game and Hankton was playing well as we were up 15-20. Otherwise CG has shown nicely. We are 9-4 and about to roll through conference season. I guess anything can be true though. So weird.

I appreciate your positive outlook, but we are woefully thin in the post if CG departs. Even worse, French would be the only big on the roster for next year.

gobillsgo Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have no idea what the hell is going on. But if we’ve learned anything it’s not to read too much into the twitter posts of teenagers. Idk what is going to happen but let’s wait until we hear anything more official about this. Or hopefully we don’t hear anything else and he’s in the starting lineup Sunday.

The "fact(?)" that there is a scheduled announcement leads me to believe it is that he's leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just now reading Gordon's tweet. I thought it was an upbeat beginning of the year tweet thanking St Louis for a great 2018. I guess it could be intepreted another way but that's not the way I read it. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal theory is that this Pikus is goofing off with his friend ballahgabe, claiming that ballahgabe landed some big scoop, especially considering the gif ballahgabe replied to Pikus' tweet with. Neither appear to be reporters/bloggers/anything besides sports fans based on their twitter feeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
