thetorch Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 What could have been with Mitchell. The year layoff hurt his career a lot. He was still good but not dominant like he was his sophomore year. The situation doesn't happen and he could have been on track to play in the NBA and his final numbers at SLU would have shattered records instead of just being top 5. majerus mojo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBilliken Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Well, a decade begins actually with the year ending in the numeral one. There was never a year zero. So when we started counting time way back when, it goes one through 10. So this decade includes 2020, the rest of the current season. Given that my all decade team is ......

The foot injury his senior year was a big setback as well. Probably bigger than sitting out a year. He was actually slightly more efficient his junior year, but scored less volume. When he came back his junior year the team just had more scoring options than it did during his sophomore year.

The 20th century ended with the year 2000. We're not counting decades like that. No one is calling this "the 202nd decade." The 20s — for whatever century — begin with the year ending "0" and end with the year ending "9." This decade, the "teens" or 10s, ends in 6 days: 2010-2019. Merry Christmas!

GOSLU68 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Majerus Ford jett Evans Conklin based on current and players’ final years- without these five it was fairly unexciting and these were team glue or go to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I will lobby for Goodwin on any final group. In large part because he was the cornerstone recruit who bought into coach Ford's Team Blue vision, and has become the heart and soul of this very fun to watch team, with a very bright future. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChurchOfChaifetz Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Love this topic. Been following the threads for awhile now, first time posting. I think you have Jordair run the key and move Dwayne Evans to #3 and have the best rebounding/defensive team out there with the below lineup: Jett Bess Evans French Conklin HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 imo conklin doesnt deserve first team consideration for just one great year. the rest of his billiken career was ok but not all decade worthy. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criterion was "five favorite players," not a true all-decade team. Favorites are very individual a personal. A favorite player is not always one of the best players.

Cowboy Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 -in no particular order, the two brunettes that went on the cheer for the Rams, the blonde that could tumble or whatever it is called from baseline to baseline and actually throw past the 10th row in the "Billiken Ball Toss", from last season a 'dirty blonde hair ' that started on the AB song facing the basket on the end by our bench and from a couple of seasons ago a very tall brunette who was only around for about half the season (I wish I could think of a red head to balance the squad but none coming to mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conklin was first team All-Conference when Xavier and Temple were in the A10. He was the glue that kept players from jumping ship during the difficult 2010/11 season. None of the NCAA appearances 2012-14 happen without Conklin. Goodwin has yet to make any All-Conference team, and while he's been good (not great) this year and he gets credit for his role as a cornestone program builder...I think Conklin did more.

We're giving Goodwin credit for a junior year he hasn't finished yet. If the season ended today, he'd finish first team All-Conference. In that scenario Conklin gets the edge for his one great year in a stronger conference but Goodwin gets the edge overall for his career. If Goodwin's numbers taper off, then Conklin's single great year gives him the edge overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the 2013 Billikens beat 2013 VCU twice (home & neutral) and the 2014 Billikens beat St. Joe’s on the road. No way those teams should be ranked higher than SLU those years. Edit: To not be such a homer, 2012 Temple beat 2012 SLU at Chaifetz. I think that was before the 2012 team peaked though. 2012 Temple also flamed out a bit. Upset in 1st round of A10 as #1 and 1st round of NCAAs as a #5 seed. Edited December 28, 2019 by RUBillsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
