cgeldmacher Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 So where does this leave us on the debate about whether or not Gordon should shoot more threes? moytoy12, Coach314 and basebill123 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eadsbee Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 This sucks and my stomach dropped when I saw the tweet. However, like a lot of others have said, I would be dumb to be shocked by it given everything we've heard. But it also feels like ripping off the band aide. I'd be lying if I didn't admit a bit of relief now that it's finally over. Ever since the recruitment it felt like the program was walking through an overstocked china shop with him. Ford is still landing important STL recruits outside of Gordon. No reason to believe he can't continue doing this. Lots of good players to be had in the next few years.

It’s the main reason I attended SLU. I have been seriously emotionally invested in this program for twenty years. I’ve been through an unreal amount of ups and downs with this program and this latest blow, if true, is one of the most painful. I am not a “Gordon fan”. I think many of us saw something like this as a real possibility. I just have an issue with adults calling teenage kids ”dbags”, especially when they haven’t officially even left the program. Tool and dbag are synonyms. What’s the difference? And he’s an adult and I will treat him like one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Part of me is glad it has finally come to a conclusion. I feel like a dumbass wondering about the thoughts of a random 18-19 year old all the time. “Is he in or is he out??” gordon has been through more than i will ever go through in my life and, if he’s betting on himself by going pro, i wish him well. Hopefully Ford has some recruits ready Coach314 and Eadsbee like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry he was the the best big man on the team and the third best player on the team according to advance metrics behind Bass and Goodwin.

cgeldmacher Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have been a Ford supporter and, honestly, feel he's done some good coaching, but this does reflect on him. The guys who we lost last year are on him too. I still think that Ford will be successful here, but it seems like he brings in some real character kids and them some who are just the opposite. There are so many guys in this team that I really admire that I was almost worried that they were having to deal with Gordon, given what's known about him. Here is to hoping that Coach Ford learns his lesson. Please be considerate of this if he passes on guys in the future and we're all wondering why.

dlarry Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’ll be more upset if he transfers than I will be if he goes to some sort of professional league. School isn’t for everybody and it seems Gordon may not be the school type. I can respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Get off ledge everyone no announcement yet I am still in a holding pattern until it is officially announced. I’ll wait to see what the magician coach Ford can pull out of his hat. I think if it was done deal we would know by now. Whatever happens I look forward to watching Bess play with such grace, French the werewolf grabbing rebounds and making those hook shots, JGood maturing, Fred starting and improving, Izzy hitting 3’s, Wiley hitting 3’s, Hankton hitting 3’s and Jacobs finally hitting shots. billiken_roy, GoBills73 and Zink like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He joined the Billikens. The Billikens didn’t join him. He was given a starting position and plenty of playing time even after a mediocre start to the season. Loyalty is rewarded. Everytime a player leaves the program the program is hurt. All other players on the team who put in time day in and out are now screwed over by the selfishness of this kid. I have zero sympathy.

The guys on the fast lane contacted SLU and their response was “as far as we know he is still on the team.” Karraker was talking to Rammer and Rammer sounded like he thinks he’s gone but apparently he’s not. At least officially. GoSluBills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBL_Bills Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That Pikus guy changed his twitter name to "SLU Sports Report." He's totally just trying to mess with people. If Gordon's actually gone, his tweet will end up being a coincidence and not some insider scoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
