Bay Area Billiken Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I’m not sure of the time frame for the decision, was exercising listening to the 590 stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I would think ford and Perkins would have talked shortly after the season ends. Perkins timeline is a different ordeal than what Ford needs to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't want to come back and play for the pre-season conference favorite aside what might be the best point guard in the country next season? Parker might see a lot of early minutes if Perkins comes back and is still working back to 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Sign Guy...thanks so much for sharing the Corey Tate segment from KSDK TV. This out of town Billiken Fan really appreciated getting to see it. He's certainly a very big reason why SLU has had success in recruiting so many local star players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I'm like 70/30 in favor of him coming back because it seems so obvious that this is the best way for him to make it to the NBA. G-league feels like a trap that you can't get out of, and overseas will always be there for him if he wants it. Stay home one more year, compete at a nationally competitive level, and drastically improve draft stock. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can make money this season at SLU, so that's no longer a big factor. He can have a 22-24ppg season and pass up anywhere he would be if he chose overseas next season. He appears to be best friends with several players on this roster He may not want to go overseas, didn't he have a story about how close he is to him mom due to some event happening(?) If this was a betting game, I'd bet he's staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 If Perkins won't be healthy until after NBA Summer League, there is no path to the G League this year. willie and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be surprised to see subjective human rankings give Dayton or VCU the nod, but mathematically if you subtract Linssen and Jones, and add Perkins plus Parker and likely a front court transfer...you can't tell me we aren't the best team on paper. I missed Malachi's injury live but on Twitter it sounded like some were worried he might not be back (or especially not at 100%) by start of non con?? That's a major factor, more so than even DaRon IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From across the court at the other end, it looked like an ankle. He was 2 person assist, then ankle wrapped (probably iced) and on crutches.

The best finish the Bills have had under Coach Ford is 12-6. Any prognosticator being skeptical of us finishing 15-3 would be perfectly justified. Our competitors have posted those records before. We have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
