Ford’s kid has already documented and the reasons for the last 7 years. That is Ford's kid? Hahahahahaha. The administration, NCAA, officials, and injuries have really hosed his dad, I feel terrible for him. But, I am now reassured knowing we should have been Dancing so many of these seasons, hard to be disappointed now. I would think he'd be rooting for dad to find a new employer instead of fleecing SLU for that new contract based on how they have done him wrong. I particularly love that anyone with a straight face could say the team last year should have been dancing. Ford's kid must not realize the difference in 20 wins from playing in the Big 12 vs. A-10. No doubt you are doing your dad proud fighting with fans online, keep up the good work, this really helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU got embarrassed in that game they didn't show up and when they did it was too little too late. Just like almost every other Ford Team. Unfair NET ranking? I didn't realize the Computer had an anti Billiken bias Is that really Ford's kid? Because we can hope he had a great birthday party the pictures looked fun.

Not sure, but this would be gold. And also good to know they take no responsibility for that season and that party, administration took it from them. The next few months are going to be fun after all! brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculous and we will thoroughly and rightfully mock it, but Travis should educate his son not to spout this nonsense. If he wants to make carefully crafted, thoughtful posts defending his dad's record using his own name; it's America and he is entitled to his opinion. This stuff is not helpful and is absurd. Honestly I think his input would be welcome and be some news to us if it contained the kind of dialogue that would be a credit to him and his dad. We're all college BB fans here.

This is what he is hearing from home. Ford is saying all this nonsense to his family so the kid just repeated what he heard. All that being said - the school really now has to fire Ford. You can not have this stuff going on it is embarrassing. Now I guess Ford can say I didn't know what his son was doing but honestly that is really weak but of course Ford can use his usual line - we can fix this.

Idk if I just had low expectations before watching the highlight vid or what Yes, dude looks like a stud. If SLU lands this guy, no further questions about NIL or recruiting aptitude. Still questions about game plans and in-game adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If the majority of the board gets their wish and Ford is gone recruiting probably is useless. Maybe the chances with a jucco would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is not adding up here based on the other offers he has. Maybe he truly is a hidden gem, but the lack of offers outside of a couple low major programs and SLU makes me wonder.

Pretty normal for juco these days. Maybe a handful of players get high major interest this early, never mind offers. It's not just three star high school recruiting that has been damaged by the portal. It's juco too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
