[mcmwcat]

wait!!!!  do we have enough scholarships ?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!  

[kstatefreak42]

how does that work with the Brown situation then?  I thought that if Tenn had released him he would have been able to get in this year?

you were wrong.

so all the people on this board saying that if he was released this year he would have been able  to play were wrong?

Nobody was saying that, dumbass

yes actually people were.

God damn this board can suck harder then ksufans sometimes.  Way to kill some discussion efftards.

You are the "efftard"

turn off your filter and try again idiot. 

Big words! ouch! 

I'm not the one calling people out for stupid cac when its your setup that is causing it.  Posting fail on your part smart guy.

IIRC, he was at a pretty shady, but very elite, bball-heavy academy for part of his high school career.  Milestone or something?

[jtksu]

Something like that.  He attended it for part of his senior year before transferring back to Miege.  He didn't play @ Miege his senior year because of transfer rules.  It's all explained in his bio on the SLU site.

Yeah I saw that.  It says in the news article linked that Nino also played there. Elite.

If Wally stays, we will have the Willie & Wally combo. There will be no competition for most adorable duo when names are included.

Why is nobody mentioning why he's leaving SLU? This kid has a lot to prove off the court. True or not, the sexual assault allegations will only grow the perception that we are becoming Thug U.

you made a funny

[mcmwcat]

does Reed start in front of Kelly this year or do we start both Kelly and Reed and redshirt Judge?   

Pretty sure the dude is gonna have to sit out a year.

*edit-  Unless he somehow gets a hardship waiver....

you are better than this, JT. 

[Benja]

If he thinks Majerus was tough or hard...Frank Martin is a beast. He better not act like diva there or Martin will lock him in the doghouse and throw away the key. also, they run a more fast paced offense than we do. he's going to have to get in MUCH better shape as he could barely play 25-30 minutes in our slow offense. also, the players he'll be up against are the same height or bigger and much more athletic and highly regarded recruits. he'll have a tough time finding minutes with the likes of wally judge and others in that front court. i wish him good luck but for his sake hopes he goes more high to mid major where he can be the man or one of them. at k state he could easily get lost.

Agreed..no one is perfect at that age. I really hope he does well. Not only will I miss Willie's athletism and talent, but I also loved his charisma out on the court. Willie was an entertainer. Always looked like he was having fun. He would take a tongue lashing every once in awhile, but I still feel he went out there, performed as best he could, and enjoyed playing in front of our fans. Nothing was better than when Willie would make a big play and try to get the crowd into the game by raising his arms in the air. We always gave Willie a shout out before the game and he would always point and smile. Just a fun guy to watch and obviously, a very talented player. He will be missed for sure. Good luck, Willie.

As for Willie, I'm close to neutral on him, but there is a little part of me that believes Willie is a knucklehead. There are too many instances of questionable circumstances/behavior for me to be supportive of him after his time at SLU.

His endurance has always been questionable.

lol. that whole year with scott should be fun.

This guy is going to be a monster

From Ballplayers on GPC:

One of my very best friends in StL (I lived there 1977-1995) does the SLU
Radio broadcasting.....Reed came there @ 180#, is now 215#; very long, very
athletic, great shotblocker, much more POtential! Coach Majerus does a good job of player development*

"Red-Shirt Year to work, get stronger, get better - IS great for Reed!!!
NBA chance in two more years."

A-10 All-Conference!

[kstatefreak42]

He will be a junior for us when he starts to play?

A.) That sounds rough ridin' fantastic.
B.) Who else on our bball team has had off the court issues?  Like serious criminal activity?
C.) Just because we have a roster of large black men does NOT make us Thug U.
