aj_arete Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just curious and this is not a big deal. I see the Billikens marketing the basketball team, but don't recognize the player. Is it Gibson Jimmerson? If so, that seem odd to use him in an advertising since he's a freshman that wasn't highly touted. I would have thought Hasahn French or local product, Jordan Goodwin would have been more ideal for this marketing campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 They rotate the players in the marketing campaigns. I've seen a variety of players highlighted for ticket deals, billboards, ads etc. Goodwin, French and Thatch have been prominently featured on promos I've seen. Try something else... This non-issue ain't gonna work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj_arete Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just a question and you answered it. I'm not local, but this isn't the first time I've seen his picture. That's fine if they rotate different players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he was genuinely concerned about SLU's marketing efforts. Box and Won and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never market a team with players that hardly see the court. I've seen advertising for SLU vs. Seton Hall three times and I've only seen Jimmerson for each. I guess it just so happens that when I clicked on STLToday, it was when Jimmerson's rotation was up. And marketing Hightower, who I have never heard of doesn't make sense to me either. I'd focus on French or Goodwin. And if you're going to market a St. Louisan, then what about Yuri? Those would be the only three I would focus on, actual stars or those with a local connection. But what do I know about marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya man I've seen almost every player in some kind of marketing ad this year. This is just way off mark. What 05 said honestly. Just pay attention. Advertising new players also helps recruiting in a way. This should be the lleast of our worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to recap this little gem 1) You didn't think this was a big deal, yet you felt strongly enough about it to make your first post in nearly a year. 2) You didn't recognize GJ? Not only is it very easy to recognize him and you know that, the player's name is on the ad... so your statement is BS. 3) GJ wasn't "highly touted"? There was a lot of buzz the moment we signed him. And there were quotes by Ford saying he was one of the best pure shooters he has ever recruited. So in just his 5th collegiate game, the kid leads the team in scoring and minutes played. Kudos to the marketing department. Shame on Aj. The implication of his post is despicable.

I think they were only paying Odom 2.5 and that was after his raise last year. They did do one thing right and they had a reasonable buy out clause which amounted to one year salary if what I read was accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
