Just reading between the lines, it looks like he experienced a little adversity and bailed on the program after having some earlier success and starting. that's pretty sad.

jimmygoiu Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Momma Gelon will blame it on the Fightin' Corn Dogs coach, just like she did on Archie. GG seems like a momma's boy if he bailed out again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even listed on the current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygoiu Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Could GG have already transferred to Missouri State? I know he was a good student. Maybe he enrolled and is practicing with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaden always looked a touch slow/out of shape to me. He had a great stroke and his love for Mike Davis is legendary, but he never struck me as one that trained very hard. Im not sure about him having a great stroke. His shot never got higher than 10'2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I do not know ! I only know that he did NOT PLAY on Wednesday night January 24 , 2018 !

jblaz13 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Gelon's entire playing career thus far has been most like: A Matt Carlino B.Ivan Renko C.Where's Waldo? D.Where On Earth Is Carmen San Diego? E. All Of The Above Poor man's version Sorry! I had to share because it's Friday.Lol I actually read this somewhere.

hoosiertildeath Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Gelon did NOT PLAY in SFCC's game on Saturday ?? That makes SEVEN straight games he has not played , without any explanation ! On a more positive note :: Peter Jurkin is a BIG reason that East Tennessee State is currently 9 & 0 in the Southern Conference and 18 & 4 overall !! I'm hoping that East Tennessee State wins their Conference Tournament so I can see OLe Jurkin do his thing in the Big Dance !!!!! Wouldn't be IRONIC if JURKIN plays in the BIG DANCE and IU DOES NOT ????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygoiu Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Did Gelon already transfer at semester break to Missouri State? I poked around but found nothing in my search. Maybe one of you internet savants can find out. Stan Robinson is the sixth man for NCAA bound Rhode Island, and hit the game winning 3 against Duquesne. right handed.. DDavis is having a solid year for Houston. Mike Davis' son committed to play for Kelvin Sampson and Houston next year-ironic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I can find NO INFORMATION regarding Gelon's absence of playing time for SFCC !! It is possible that he transferred to Missouri State for the second semester and will play no more until next season !! I just do not know !!!!! ( And - I hate not knowing ,vbg !! ) At any rate the conference post season TOURNAMENTS start on Feb. 26 , 2018 ! That is only 29 days away !!

I'm not knowledgeable enough in those subjects to come up with it myself. Matt Carlino. A blast out of the past. Wow. The poster child of the son of a helicopter parent. Who moved his son from Arizona, so he could play for Bloomington South. Because of his IU commitment. Only to pull that commit.... to play for two other schools.... and eventually play in the NBA G league.... as well as in Europe. A classic case of a parent being too involved. Should have let Matt play for IU. But we got Yogi, instead. I will take that trade off, any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why none of us thought of this is beyond me. Thanks for that. Great first post. And welcome to HSN3.0. I can already tell you will be a valuable member, should you choose to post more often. Now... someone needs to connect with the SIA director at Missouri State College... to see if Grant, is in fact there... as I have suspected.

hoosiertildeath Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks for the good work in finding out about Grant deciding not to return to SFCC for the Second Semester !!

milehiiu Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 This story says that Grant will be playing the 2018-2019 season for Missouri State.

FKIM01 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Still seems odd that he skipped the 2nd semester. It's not like he can play for his new school this semester, so he's essentially taking a semester off from competition. Maybe he is practicing with them...I don't know. All I do know is that the whole situation seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Peter Jurkin and his East Tennessee State teammates are currently 12 & 0 in conference play and 21 & 4 overall !! It would a total shame if ETSU got upset in their conference tournament and not make THE BIG DANCE !! If they win their conference regular season title they would at least be guaranteed a spot in the Post season NIT !! Jurkin is averaging 8.9 ppg , 5.1 rebounds per game , , has 31 BLOCKS and 12 steals !! Good Job , PJ !!! P.S Jurkin had 16 POINTS AND 13 rebounds IN ETSU's last game , a 20 point win !! I'm looking forward to seeing Jurkin in the post season !!!( IF not sooner !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Guess who is shooting 40% from three this season? Was it actually true that Crean said Bluiett "wasn't athletic enough?" And did he really say of Kyle Guy, "who would he guard." Virginia is currently kenpom's #1 defense. I can understand missing on McIntosh. IIRC Kyle Guy basically said he wasn't interested in IU, but if comments like above where actually true, it's no wonder. Was it Troy that Crean wanted over Bluiett? I remember we offered but never prioritized. Random thoughts. Anyone have answers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Troy that Crean wanted over Bluiett? I remember we offered but never prioritized. Random thoughts. Anyone have answers? Thanks Yes. The easy answer is that Crean is no longer the coach. Decisions like what you highlighted are a large part of the reason why. As much as Crean was lauded for finding diamonds in the rough, he sure did not have the pulse of Indiana high school basketball. Too many high level players were allowed to leave the state because Crean had no interest in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crean had a lot of success finding diamonds in the rough by putting a huge amount of value on athleticism. He weighted athleticism too much in his evaluations in my opinion, as those two points demonstrate. The diamonds in the rough he did find, while being hyper athletic, also had very high basketball IQ and fairly refined skills by the time they turned into elite players. His approach that you can't teach athleticism but you can teach skill wasn't wrong, but I'll take a less athletic skilled player over a raw athlete every day of the week.
