Aquinas Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Billiken heights and weights are out on the SLU site. Good news Bell is now at 270. Biggest surprise is Hargrove at 6,4. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest surprise is Hargrove at 6,4. I’m pretty confident that the 6’4 is not accurate. I feel more confident that he’s closer to 6’7 than 6’5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Not sure why Hargrove is listed at 6'4. It's pretty obvious he's a couple of inches taller than that. It's also pretty obvious Yuri is under 6'0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being surprised because I had read him being taller as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might've been optimistic, but he's definitely taller than 6-4. That's some Majerus-level gamesmanship with the roster heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Bell at 6,10 270 has to be close to ideal for him. I'm thinking maybe 260 is ideal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just now, Aquinas said: Bell at 6,10 270 has to be close to ideal for him. I'm thinking maybe 260 is ideal? With multiple heights being off, I'm not sure we can trust the weights either. Let's go by the performance test. If Bell can play longer than 5 minutes at a time without huffing and puffing, he's at the right weight. billiken_roy and Pistol like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 There’s zero chance Yuri is 6, Bell is 270, or TJ is 6’4. SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Hargrove listed at 6'4" but I ran into him yesterday and he is taller than that, believe me; and PLAYS taller than that -- and given his arms probably still growing; super athletic, energizer bunny type. I'm very bullish on them about 2 years from now; I think both get minutes right away but this team does not need to count on them which I take to be a good thing. Terrific to have these 2 great kids coming off the bench. Just think about our bench last year! HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still figuring Coach only goes 8 deep, + 2 with short minutes, on most critical games, as he has done his entire coaching career. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 27 minutes ago, Coach314 said: Where do you have Tay Weaver slotted For me, the breakdown is top 8 regular rotation. The only slots claimed to date, per Ford, are Goodwin, French and Thatch. That leaves 5 open. Next 2 ''hold the fort" players with single digit to low double digit minutes. Three sitting most of the time. The big unknown, as in every year, is injury and/or defection. It happens and screws up every prediction. Weaver is in one of those three categories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I wouldn't be too concerned about the depth chart in November. Even Kevin Lisch came off the bench his first 4 games at SLU, playing behind Danny Brown. Brown outplayed Lisch in the preseason. It didn't last. In the same vein, I wouldn't expect the 8th guy in the rotation to remain in that position come January. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be the battle to keep an eye on. It wouldn't surprise me if we went more than 8 deep if TF really wants to play up tempo this year. Out of the 12 man roster I can see MD and KCH as getting the smallest amount of playing time. Other that that I can see a battle for time between the remaining 7 (excluding JG, HF and FT Jr.) with some tough decisions needed from TF. A good problem to have. What hurts this year is that the early part of our schedule is not filled with cupcakes. I saw an ATHLON preview magazine and it shows our 2nd and 3rd games against teams who they predict to win their leagues, then S Hall who they predict to be in the top 15 nationally, then two games later Belmont who is also predicted to win their conference. It's too bad that a couple of games that would normally be at the beginning of our schedule, Maryville and Beth-Cookman are later in Dec, although they might prove useful for making final playing time decisions as we start A-10 play in Jan. BTW, ATHLON picks us 6th in the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
