Short trip to SLU for the family to watch him and easy drives or flights to watch him at road games at other A10 schools. SLU is harder sell when the family is living in Vegas. Shoot, didn't know they are no longer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll end up at a School with really positive fans. Agreed, this is a vicious message board that cannot be matched by any other and likely the reason for our recruiting failures the past few seasons.

Young Charles Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I honestly thought this was a "dude" that would see floor time this year. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseOfTheBillikens Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'm going to hope this was because we have someone coming in that was going to take his minutes. The father being hired at UNLV thing makes sense though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be proud of your efforts, they certainly didn't hurt... You’ve really outdone yourself with this one. Seems more like Travis Ford isn’t the recruiter he’s been made out to be. Losing a recruit of this caliber at this point is just another critical blow to a program in decline. And we are gonna give it a whole year before we finally pull the plug and start over. Ridiculous.

JettFlight5 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well this isn’t great. I guess not releasing him is off the table. A long time ago it was possible to block transfers…but that’s probably dead too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous. please note this "fan" will never answer how trashing our coach 24/7 is a help to the program, if your comments are totally irrelevant, why do you bother to post at all??? the fact is, no one knows why he decommitted, but there is one thing we do know, that constant criticism of a coach doesn't help with recruiting... Also, it's odd that so many seem to think being a "Ford Hater" is only limited to this board...There are reports on this on all types of media forums, and it certainly at some point is going to have an effect....knowing a coach may be out the next year certainly hurts his recruiting efforts, and everyone of you know it.....

slufan13 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'd actually argue it's the Ford supporters fault. Those fans are so happy with what he's done so now players are afraid to come in and risk messing it up for those fans. You guys are putting too much pressure on these kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
