Taj79 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Our list of international failures is a lot longer than our list of international success stories. On the plus side we can count Loe, Ellis, Voyoukous, Izik and Linssen. List of failures goes all the way back to Latimore. Again I'm relying on the state's motto of "show me."

GOSLU68 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Who would we rather have Phil Forte or Harriman? Easiest question of year AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 So when we look back a year from now on these international recruits are we giving credit now to Harriman for Van Bussel, the French guy and the Serb? Very curious to see how their production ranks them come this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 We havent really heard one way or the other…seems like an uptick in foreign born players since he arrived, though Also, since a number of them are freshmen, might take a couple of years to truly know about them. mjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 All I know is we were striking out recruiting the Portal. Hire Harry and get 3 recruits. Can they play? We will see but at least we have some players to see. Billiken Rich and slufan13 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 @willie: The portal is turning out to be just what I figured it would be and that is a money grab. I don't mind the foreigners, maybe they will in the long run surprise, but if it takes a couple years to truly figure that out is Billiken booster suggests do I really think they're gonna be around a couple years? The recent past has a landscape littered with Gudmunsson, Lorentsson, Salesich, Traore, Cisse, Diarra and others. Again i'll wait to be shown to understand what's going on. I will say that all this newness is really making me excited for my Myrtle Beach trip in November. I really can't wait to see what it looks like up close and personal.

Your recent past mentions are fair. Not much there. But Ellis and Loe were good additions. Harry’s? As I stated before can this be our answer to the NIL lunacy? We obviously didn’t have enough dollars to win the Portal wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizziken Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Best pickup by far is Alfons Pleister. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 @willie: Yes, I believe both Ellis and Loe were Harriman pickups from down under under Majerus. I also think Ellis and Loe fit the mold for Majerus' system and thrived even more. The current crop of foreigners is coming into Ford's system and I'm not quite sure just what that is even after 7 years of watching. But hope springs eternal and I'm looking forward to seeing this team come Myrtle Beach in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Like Taj Mahal, I’m looking forward to MB games. One observation about our recent forays into the international market; the foreigners are an impatient bunch. If they play only sparingly, they jump ship either by entering the portal or returning home. I’m hoping for the best from this years imports but unless they are contributors, I would suggest you don’t invest in their jerseys.

Aquinas Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Jimerson. In this new era of div 1 basketball, keeping your best player is a big pickup. Especially when it was believed he had played his last season as a Billiken. gabriel, VeniceMenace, Bills By 40 and 4 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
