RamJAMTIME Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 But, but, but...Parker was injured, multiple players were deemed ineligible, the refs didn't help us all season. They won't fire Ford. He'll be given another year because he has such bad luck. Next year will be different...FML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 @willie: I'm not arguing that. Jimmerson reminds me a lot of Doug Collins but Doug Collins wasn't going to win many games all by himself. Jimerson would be a great pickup next year for many Top Ten teams. Hell, I thought he'd be at UVa this year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His drive game depends on getting fouls and depends on players playing up in his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would start and fit in well for most teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're either ineligible or just not good. 2010andBeyond likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the group who should be stepping up this year with Hargrove and Jimerson. We can complain about the poor coaching but the lack of third year players is a recruiting problem. Shows me Ford can’t coach or recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a coach with players ready-to-play right now like Utah St did. Rosters can be turned around QUICK with the right hire. I wouldn't mind watching Great O's senior year here at SLU. You? A 62 kenpom right now is exactly what i'd like to be seeing at SLU. That's a good team that is going to make a push for an at-large, challenge to win the conference, and a lock for an NIT slot.

Taj79 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 @willie: No. My original post said that every player on this team is at best a role player. You then moved on to 'complementary." I agreed that Jimerson is indeed that, but with the right role. I never said no one could start elsewhere. Jimerson does start here but he's overtaxed as not only a starter but 'the man." I'm surprised he doesn't drop from exhaustion by game's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has limitations that are the reason he began his career at this level. Definitely a heck of a shooter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 3rd option he'd be amazing. willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 We have serious problems, but its wrong to say all of our players are sub par. I think our best starting guards, Meadows, Parker and Jimerson are pretty good. Good enough to win the conference and dance. I also like young Houghes and Thames. Unfortunately they are not all healthy and our forwards are not nearly good enough. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamjam Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Did they change the official score? It was 101-60... now it's 101-62... almost like someone lobbied to get it under 40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
