Battlecat455 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 For the record, you gleefully anticipated the Billikens losing to UNC. What a genius. You have zero credibility in my book. The rest of your posts are so much braying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 "I disagree with the posters that would somehow find fault with Brad over this matter." The fault with Brad is that he couldn't get better players than OI and HD; therefore, Brad had to settle for these guys. These were high risk/medium-to-high reward players. The fault lies in the fact that we didn't get any commitments from low-to-medium risk/medium-to-high reward players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Yes, that was then. That was when Brad settled for high-risk players because he couldn't get others. And now, those high risk players are rumored to not be on the team any more. It's a continuum, not abstract points in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRaginCajun Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I had posted on here at the beginning of the academic year that Horace was still having issues getting enrolled and that I was told that Horace would have a tough time staying eligible. I guess when you are saving all of your bullets till late spring you have to pull the trigger at some point and I guess this was a shot that the staff felt was worth taking. I am not going to blame the coaching staff for what has happened to these two players specifically, but I think it shows what many have been posting on here for awhile now and thats the poor recruiting. I said I was going to relax and enjoy the season at hand, so I will stop here and stay out of any arguments concerning recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Billiken Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Horace couldn't have failed out of school. He's a freshman. Even if his GPA fell below 2.00, he'd be on academic probation for 2 semesters. Maybe he failed to complete all of his classes. I can't see how that would happen though.

Basketbill Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 remember last year that a rumor spread about tommie....it was not true. What we know Obi was not in uniform for the last two games and not seen Dec. 22nd. Horace was in uniform Dec 22nd. Grades were due Dec 21 at 5pm...... It seeems to me if his grades were not good enough he would have been in street clothes against UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 you do know that thomas redshirted his freshman year because he was academically challenged plus did not have a clue offensively dont you? (sounds a lot like dixon to me.) he was a second year freshman player last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRaginCajun Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Fact: Obi had been suspended since the SIU game. The rest is information that I heard from a very reliable source, but as I said he said that this was a possibility and nothing definitive had been done at that point. We will see what happens, but as I was saying the Obi suspension never was reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Overachiever Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Does anyone think this will prompt TL to jump into the NBA draft at seasons end? If there is no bigs coming in and BH could graduate this year if he hasn't already graduted early, that would leave only AK and a bunch of 1 & 2s left on the roster. If TL is seriously considering the draft these next two seasons would play a huge role in whether he is a lottery pick or like many former Billikens playing overseas.

billiken_roy Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 first - loose /lus/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[loos] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation adjective, loos·er, loos·est, adverb, verb loosed, loos·ing. –adjective 1. free or released from fastening or attachment: a loose end. 2. free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered: loose cats prowling around in alleyways at night. lose /luz/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[looz] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, lost, los·ing. –verb (used with object) 1. to come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery: I'm sure I've merely misplaced my hat, not lost it. 2. to fail inadvertently to retain (something) in such a way that it cannot be immediately recovered: I just lost a dime under this sofa. that drives me nuts that too many people cant use the word correctly second, again you totally mislead on the stemler and shaw scenario. if coach soderberg never saw value in the two, he would have never offered either one a scholarship. in fact he was the very first high major school (i believe only akron offered before slu) to offer stemler. you need to let that comparison go because you are totally off base on that one. stemler was sold the bright lights and big story from confirmed cheater sampson and decided to take indiana (who was the very last to see and offer stemler). if you want to blame anyone on stemler, blame the jerk off asst swic coach, campo for campaigning against slu to the bitter end. shaw, i agree he should have offered the one scholarship we had remaining that year to shaw instead of grimes first, but we werent the only school that offered grimes over shaw. if you chastize slu over that bad mistake, go after illinois, kansas and mi$$ouri as well for being that stupid. i said back then as well that shaw was the better player as well, but soderberg went for the potential instead. still we offered early summer and shaw decided to go with painter who had been courting him from early on.

TheRaginCajun Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I was talking with someone at Humphrey's before the UNC game and they told me that they had talked to Bryce and he said that he was accepted into the SLU MBA program. This would make me think he will be back in a Billiken uniform next season. I was very pleased to hear this news, sounds like Bryce has a bright future ahead of him. Here is a kid who to this point has not had the on-court success I am sure he would have liked, but who has taken care of business in the classroom and will be leaving SLU with a MBA from a highly regarded business school.

Also Receiving Votes Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Yeah, because there are about 60 NBA scouts just salivating at the chance of just catching a glimpse at the Mt. Pleasant Phenom. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majerus Magic Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 I think he was talking about TL also, TL won't be in the NBA with to many 6 points 9 turnovers games like MSU. That game showed me he has a lot a lot of work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Agreed. NBA lottery picks don't dribble the ball off there knee or have 30 turnovers in a game to a team like Mo St. Tommie's leap from last year was huge. I expect that to happen for two more years before he becomes an NBA stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTIME Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 >V, what is this about Woodland? So, he has tranferred to a >school in Cincinnati and will no longer be attending Mizzou >next year on a football scholarship? He might re-commit to Mizzou, but right now he is in Ohio as a basketball teammate of Alex Tyus. He could recommit to Missouri in football as I really think he wanted to go there, but he could also get some division 1 offers from some high-major programs playing on this high profile basketball academy. He could play either sport at any school. Intriguing story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 In article Woodland says he is still going to Mizzou despite playing prep school basketball. I really dont understand the prep school move unless he's just doing it for fun. http://prepsports.stltoday.com/ssi/prep/st...D0?OpenDocument "I really enjoyed my time here," said Woodland, who will be moving to Cincinnati to attend Harmony Prep School for the winter semester as he prepares to play football at the University of Missouri. "The guys welcomed me here and it was like a family. I'm glad I was able to help win a championship. I am going to always keep in touch with these guys, even when I am at Mizzou."
