Popular Post HoosierPal Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 Gibson will be awarded his BS in International Business this Saturday in the mid-year commencement. He receives this degree in 3.5 semesters. I assume he will be enrolled in a Master's program this upcoming semester. Some things are more important than 3 point FG% and scoring average. This is one of them. https://slubillikens.com/news/2022/12/14/billiken-athletics-eight-billikens-to-earn-degrees-at-midyear-commencement.aspx AGB91, JettFlight5, AlumniFan and 7 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No degree is easy, but not many are as difficult as an engineering degree. HoosierPal, bauman and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I won't be surprised if Jimmmerson goes into coaching after his playing career. He is smart, articulate and is a student of the game. In spite of not being anywhere near the most athletic player he probably leads the team in receiving yards and baskets on fast breaks. He has learned to cut to the basket for easy and not so easy under the basket layups. His international business degree probably gives him a much greater awareness of the business of div 1 basketball. An international business degree, means he likes to travel. I have no idea if he is interested in coaching. I'm just saying that from a distance it looks like he has some of the building blocks.
