This year it's Goodwin's team next year it'll be Yuri's. He will score more, guys who were just bench players will become starters and score more, guys who aren't even playing now will replace those bench players. Every time our seniors graduate there's much hand wringing about how we can never replace them. I'm not sure why. If you've recruited well the youngsters who are already on the team will replace them. That doesn't mean stat for stat replacement. The scoring, rebounding and assist distribution will be different. Man, 3star, you're on fire today — just like the Bills will be at Minnesota tonight. Reinert310 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I probably did a bad job explaining. Thank you 3 star. I think you’re right that this will become Yuri’s team once JGood is gone. I was just saying Thatch could end up being a similar type player to JGood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think he showed a nose for the ball and an ability to get second-chance points. Yeah, I think his game can emulate J-Good's game. JettFlight5 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think Fred celebrated getting that extra year quite nicely tonight. Bringing him off the bench in A10 play could be fun for the Billikens...not as much for the opposition.

DOC Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Fred Thatch is a really nice player, with a lot of upside. He's a favorite of mine and I assume anyone associated with the program. He play's extremely hard. Will do great things. SLU is better for having him. That was not the childish argument I was a part of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think Ford should have turned to Fred a little earlier in the game when Carr was going off. The good news in an otherwise disappointing game is that it was a bit of Fred's coming out party. I think Ford will turn to him sooner to be a defensive stopper against the likes of Crutcher, and Weathers. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I normally don’t enjoy reading posts of people fighting on this board, but this has been entertaining. It is like a ‘slap-fight’ in digital form. I feel like a librarian needs to show up and twist both of your ears to make it stop. drkelsey55 and Billiken Rich like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether man to man or zone, the defense was just better with Fred in the game. I'm just going off the eye test and I'm sure there will be somebody crunching numbers to show I was wrong Billiken Rich likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
