Dr Bird Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I was just wondering the same thing. Gosh I hope Gibby and Yuri return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 We don't know. Schools do this for everyone who is set to graduate and haven't yet announced their future plans. Also means THJ is likely back. Compton likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Perkins was honored last year on senior night. I'd say they include everyone just in case and it doesn't mean anything definitive in regards to next season.

I just think if they were forsure coming back they would tell them to not honor them this year. But I don't know. Probably easier to just do everyone I guess. So ya I'm probably wrong.

I think its more along the lines of they haven't thought about their plans yet. Im sure Yuri(maybe) and Gibby will talk it over and with Ford at some point before making a decision.

I'm assuming Hargrove won't complete is academic curriculum this semester. (I could be wrong.) If he wants a SLU diploma, he will be back no matter who coaches the team.

NIL money is one factor, but if either has aspirations at the League, they need to pursue that option sooner than later. Would another year at any college increase their potential for the NBA? Look how much Goodwin improved once he got out of college (not blaming SLU, just stating what happened.) The clock is ticking. Collins will be 22 next season (birthday is March 7) and I couldn't find Jimerson's age, but he should be 22 to 23 next season. I'm not an NBA scout, but both will enter the NBA evaluation program. They have to. Both will have diplomas as they have completed their scholastic obligations. And both should enter the Portal, because why not? Whatever they decide is good for me.

I am not trying to be a debbie downer her but someone might have been willing to give Yuri a one time check in hopes of taking us to the dance. Would he they be willing to do it again? I would think additional funds would have to be more communal. Also I am not sure Yuri's stock has gone down on a national basis. I would also think Gibson would be a huge get for the right team.

That’s one possibility. The other one is where in a few years the NCAA is joined by the big money donors at the major schools to get Congress to fix this mess. All those big donors to NCAA sports are probably the same ones who donate to politicians. The problem with this NIL system is it’s all fueled by rumor and speculation for the most part. Looks to be very easy for a player to get several schools in a bidding war with each other or even with themselves with the right tweets on twitter, rumors floating around, etc. None of these deals have to be made public during the negotiation process, after all. All the players who are going to get offers have a vested interest in raising the levels everywhere for everyone. Scott Boras has given the blueprint for how this negotiation goes, just follow his blueprint for how he works MLB owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works for a guy that can change his professional life post basketball. His pay next year may not be as much as a power 5 could offer, but it’s one year. Stay at SLU and break the NCAA assist record in front of your family and your boss. Then go play pro ball with a career waiting at Chaifetz Group. Leave for another school and that all goes away.
