Stockard's junior year numbers at KSU not as good as JBJ's freshman year numbers here, on a better team. He would add one year depth behind Has and JBJ at best.

BuiltFordBills Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Anyone think we have a shot at Alan Griffin? I know we were in that first tweet but have mostly heard Duke and Dayton as the front runners. Would be a nice plug in for Goodwin after he graduates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 You would think with all the restrictions with travel and visits, the replacement will be someone local or familiar with Ford or the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 @Billiken Rich: what’s so bad? Good guys like CB Fan have been hoping desperately for contributions from KC. Never happened. Now never will. This one was obvious. Passed over by a freshman (Hargrove) with two replacements (Strickland and Lorentsson) coming in. Best of luck KC but no surprise here.

wgstl Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It’s not really about how Stockard is going to take minutes, it’s more about making sure we don’t have foul trouble at any point. Face it, we’re loading up to go all in next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 All in next year is great but I wish we have some upperclassmen with more experience in 2021 with scoring ability other than possibly Hargrove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need depth inside in case injuries, fouls, or any of the other things that often happen to thin rosters. TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Holly Hills Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Easy to see Hankton wasn’t a good fit for the current setup of the roster. Worst case scenario Thatch can’t return, and I have a feeling Jacobs might want to leave too. He got publicly scolded multiple times during the season because he couldn’t or wouldn’t do what ford was asking. Also, ending the season on an ambiguous team suspension probably left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths. I could be completely off base though.

Another irresponsible post - this time about Jacobs. What makes a suspension ambiguous? That Coach Ford did not consult with you? What's your excuse this time?

Old guy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I hope Jacobs does not leave, and I think the team is truly committed to keep Thatch and give him a playing try out next season. We have no idea what happened with Jacobs that caused his suspension from play. It would have been nice to see him playing during the A10 tournament or afterwards, but such a thing was not to be. There may still be some bad blood involved, but I really hope he stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His student portion could have been mentioned -- his grades, his major. He was/is a good teammate - and that could have been mentioned. His injuries and current health/physical status could have been mentioned. Either lazy reporting or limited resources/space appears to be present... but if you are going to write a story, then make it more detailed than a 5th grader's article.

You are right about me and you can add my wife wanting desperately wanting KC and all Billiken signees to to be happy and successful. We usually show up an hour before the game and watch the players in the shoot around. You get to watch the team interact in the shoot around and the SLU players appear they get along quite well. KC and Fred could have been down but both displayed a lot of enthusiasm in the shoot around. I wish the best for KC I hope he finds a place that will provide him a degree and playing time. Be well Taj I hope you can make it to a game this season our team is in a good place. The last 3 home games were awesome and beating VCU and the Bonnies like they did was special.

He wasn’t writing a story he was passing along information. there is no reason to write a story about a kid leaving school. Its none of our business why he is leaving. His grades are none of our business. Who cares if he was a good teammate he’s gone. If he wasn’t are you going to roast him on his way out? The guy barely played. This is all that was needed.
