brianstl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, wgstl said: silver lining. Gordon was probably going to bounce after this season regardless of family issues, pro ball, trouble, commitment. Now we can get KC and a few others more minutes to develop faster. Everyone knows next year was our Final Four team. I think this makes it harder to recruit. At some point recruits start asking themselves what the hell is going on at SLU. Six players that were going to be counted on to give you minutes have either transferred or been booted out of the program in less than a year. It is not a good look.

We need players that want to play here and be with the program. Hopefully from here on out recruits are vetted better. AMEN to that!!!

I don’t think the booted out of school thing matters much. That is easily spun onto the individuals. Now a mass exodus of transfers would be a problem.

Brian I like your posts and respect you. I will say also that after S2 you also said recruiting would be in the shi**er and that has not happened. I trust Ford as he has proven to be a recruiting master to fill the void next year.

It is not a good look. hopefully in the here and now, ford uses the likes of goodwin (who's been through it) and bess (who is the definition of a leader) to sell recruits that will come in for visits. if bess cant sell them, they dont need to be billikens.

DeSmetBilliken Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This is unfortunate, but unless you were really optimistic going in, or just hadn’t heard things about him in high school, you probably didn’t think that his time at SLU was going to end ideally. Obviously this depleted the depth, but hopefully this brings the team together. TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(he doesn't strike me as a guy who would take sh*t from anyone). I second excitement for seeing more Hankton. Saw his release up close at the App St. game - real quick release. His shot looked good, but he better learn how to box out soon or the second chance points he gives up will outweigh the points he scores.

Go Bills and let's get Jibotoh I hope you are right. Ford shocked me with how well he rebounded from S2. He is unparalleled when it comes to recruiting talent to SLU. I was wrong about SLU's standing with recruits after S2 and I hope I am wrong again. JohnnyJumpUp and CBFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
