kmbilliken Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I don’t expect Collins or Jimerson to be back. They had a good reason to come back this year because it was supposed to be the year we were going to be a top 25 team. There is no reason to come back next year. It will be a rebuilding year. Who wants to go out on that note? They will both have the opportunity to play for good teams with real tournament aspirations. They have both been here 4 years and seem business oriented. They fulfilled their commitment here. Why not look at your options both in college and overseas? It is time for them to move on with their lives and to find better opportunities. I appreciate what they gave us and wish them the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really feel for Fred and Javonte, they didn’t deserve the ending they got. It just didn’t work with this group. No leadership, no killer instinct. Thank you for your service.

Schasz Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Neither Yuri or Gibson are coming back with Ford as HC at SLU. Not sure either one is a NBA player, but they could pursue professional pursuits in other countries. cheeseman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this year if I was Gibby or Collins I’d be seeking a passport, an NBA tryout, or a school that has a shot at the Dance, Both would be highly desired by dance viable teams.

They'll be going to the Big Dance while our Bills will once again be watching it. Thanks for your interest!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I know you were provoked, so I don't entirely blame you, but if I see one more report on the F'ing Tennessee volunteers on this board I swear I'm going to track you down Liam Neeson style. When the Mizzou thread was active it made me want to puke everyday, and I think I might hate Tennessee more, pretty much entirely because of you.

It’s because you could have just said “they are having a great year and going to get a top seed in the dance.

Look when I see a stupid post about a very good kid who suffered a serious knee injury it makes me angry. I think I've read some posts from you critical of the current situation regarding Ford as HC in the past. Frankly, I don't see the Billikens winning the A-10 Tourney this season with him as HC. That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it! You’re right I have been very critical of this team and Ford. I also share your opinion about them probably not winning the A10 tournament. I also have no problem with you being a big Tennessee fan. But sometimes you seem surprised when people give you crap. All I am saying is that taking shots at the Bills while praising another team is why. No big deal to me. Schasz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
