Old guy Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 25 minutes ago, ACE said: Well maybe not - it appears he was "dismissed." Probably a better fit for Mizzou. Bowling Green men’s basketball head coach Michael Huger has announced that senior guard Myron Gordon and junior forward Joe Reece have been dismissed from the team for failure to meet program standards. “I want to wish Myron and Joe the very best in their future endeavors,” Huger said. “They have made contributions to our program. At the same time, there are standards of behavior within the framework of our team that we expect to be met by all of our student-athletes. Failure to do so on a consistent basis has resulted in the loss of the privilege of being members of this team.” Agree, let them go somewhere else.

NH Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 48 minutes ago, ACE said: I just saw that local player Joe Reece who is now at Bowling Green is transferring. He's 6-9 and his stats this year are very similar to what Linnsen put up at Wilmington before he transferred here. It would seem to make sense as a potential Linnsen replacement if there is mutual interest. Discipline issues aside, Joe Reece is not really a Linssen replacement. He’s more of a tall wing. I don’t think he’d get minutes here next year, especially if Perkins returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, doesn't look like it's going to happen, although I assume he'll try to hook on somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Reece did play with Hargrove. Not a post player at all. Does most of his scoring on drives. Decent defender at the mid major level. He's always had baggage and he and his father had no interest in playing anywhere near St. Louis. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linssen has to be one of the most underrated pick ups in Ford’s tenure.

Ouch. Sounds like a player we have been looking for. That said, discipline issues are probably not worth it. Sounds like the first big time player for Lindenwood!

ACE Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 I just took another peak at Bradford's production - not good. PPG and RPG about half of what they were his freshman season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG% TRB FT Points Fouls Bradford: 58% 7.1 58% 12.4 5.0 Okoro: 50% 9.6 47% 8.4 5.3 Biggest takeaway for me is Bradford has played solid minutes in the best league. Typically that translates well to the A10 if you're a big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Bradford has been terrible this season and I would rather see what Traore can do with more playing time. Its all a mute point if everyone stays. The local player that I would love to want to transfer and come home is Kalkbrenner, I like watching him play to bad for the wrong blue team.

I think Weber is probably finished and that could open the door for Bradford if a spot opens up. My belief is that Bradford if he transferred to SLU would play behind Traore and I am not sure he would want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think this? Traore is better than what I expected out of a late signing- low recruited player. But 90% of his minutes are in garbage time. Bradford is averaging 12 ppg/40 min in the b12...that's well ahead of traore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Traore having a great senior year, but right now, and likely next year, I think Bradford is still a better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkielBreakers Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 After watching him play a little bit the past two seasons, I would take him on the eye test alone. Big, but fluid enough. He also would provide something different from Traore, so it would be complimentary. If Traore keeps developing and ends up shooting threes, then they could technically play together. (Traore is athletic enough to guard a small 4.) wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 There is a 0.0% chance that Bradford is going to come here and backup Okoro. He is a good enough player that he will understandably want significant playing time in his junior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did...I think the staff would welcome him with open arms. Yuri would get Bradford easy buckets at the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Bradford only played 5 minutes last night. He'd get more than that per game playing one year behind Franco, then he could move into being a starter for two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
