I always thought he was similar to Goodwin in a sense that he was one of those guys who kind of lacks the true ideal measureables for their position at the next level, Off to a Steller start before injury/sickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said SLU finished second in his recruitment (first, I’ve ever heard that) and he has a great relationship with Tate. If Fletcher doesn’t want to stay at UK, he thinks SLU could be a possibility.

I am a big fan of the kid, but throughout his high school career questioned why he was never very efficient despite his physical advantages and what always looked like really good mechanics. Early in his career at UNC, while putting up numbers for a freshman, efficiency certainly appears to be a problem. He is averaging 11.2 points on 30.1% shooting (37.5% 2P%, 16.0% 3P%, and 79.2% FT%), 2.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 30.5 minutes per game. Just to make a little fun of our back and forth. Reinert310 ... would these be counting stats lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard that either. When he cut his list to 5 we were not one of them (Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, Alabama, and Mizzou were the 5). Obviously at this point, I would like our chances if he is looking to transfer, but I don't think Frank is right concerning his original recruitment.

He seems to be getting lost in the UK one and done shuffle. I think he played a fair amount in their first few games, but now has all but disappeared. Since, 3Star is our go to guy on the local front, I'll ask, do you think he might give SLU a shot? If he's low man on the totem pole now, it's likely to get worse as Calipari hustles in his next batch of FR supermen. I thought the possibility of Fletcher transferring the moment he signed with UK. He's not getting much PT on a UK team that is not very good. Considering they are off to a bad start, Calipari will be especially desperate to upgrade the current roster and it won't be with just the usual McDonald's All-Americans. With transferring becoming like the Wild West, he'll be hunting the best players on the market like he did with Sarr. Fletcher would be an excellent fit here. Ford can use Javon Bess as a good case study of a transfer from a high profile program who came here and thrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliesBy40 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Frank is clueless regarding Fletcher. He never seriously considered us. It’s also irresponsible of Frank to speculate on a potential transfer this early in Fletcher’s career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to all the radio and message boarders, we always finish 2nd on guys that go elsewhere. It's a totally unprovable thing, which is why it gets said so much.

slu72 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Anyone know what the new transfer rules will mean for the conference regs that say you can't transfer to a school in your conference, or was that rule abolished some time ago, and I missed it.

Your statement up-thread was the only place I've seen mono even mentioned. Was it common knowledge or is that some inside info? I only saw the second half of the game and he was in foul trouble by then and then fouled out, but the little I saw, he looked fine. And that was a rough, physical game. I guess the b10 is known for that of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was misdiagnosed. My sister had it (ironically diagnosed on her 17th birthday) in the late 70s. She was an athlete too (volleyball and softball) in high school but I know it was way longer than two weeks to get back to normal. It was a long time ago but seems like it took a month or two. And maybe they have some new wonder drugs these days, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it missed 2 weeks of school was allowed to take finals even though the semester ended I was lucky I did not have to repeat a semester. The recovery time took a month so I would say misdiagnosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
