Elmore
- Thread starter Herd020
- Start date
I think he saw last night that as great as he is he has a lot of work to do to go to the NBA. He played against a future NBA guard and played in a more physical type of game which is more NBA like and he didn’t play well. I’m way more worried he would want to do a graduate year at another school (like James Kelly) than going to the NBA.
no way he leaves to go pro, but I don't think you guys will see him in a Marshall uniform next year
It’s either pro or back at MU, I don’t see him leaving home
We should be a lot more balanced team next, given that the new big guy pan out..
We needed big bodies last night, and as we always say during football season “ we are young”

......& ghorgh - it’s not just the 2 bigs! Cam Brooks could be our next 2 guard (will Danny redshirt him?) and a couple of additional recruits could make us a tourney team again next year!
Maybe he better stay where he is at. That would be my advice.
Yes bad calls/no calls...... I understand tournament play is a bit more aggressive and refs tend to let them play but it was almost as if they closed their eyes alot....
Translation: "Please God, don't let Marshall be good again next year."
If he should head to that sh*thole team....Jon has lost me as a fan. Anywhere but to the CHEATeyes! Never liked anything about that school. GO Michigan beat the Cheateyes!

He did last year so it seems likely he will look at every option including a grad transfer to play at a higher competitive level.
I don't think he is going anywhere. His name is out there now. People know his talent. He can stay and be a part of what could be the best team we've ever had and leave a huge, Chad like legacy. No only that, but up his stock with a good year. I think DD knows this and will try to get him to stay. Losing him would be a huge blow. jmo
I'm not knocking your concept here, but it is ironic how coaches and players often do not think in terms of loyalty and/or wanting to leave a legacy the way fans do.
Let's just hope Elmore doesn't have an agent like the one working for Chase.
#11 Penava is your guy next year...If he can add 20/25 lbs of muscle,he will be very imposing in the middle..Can shoot from the outside..Very good player who can be a great player..
Don't forget that Ohio people are arrogant and can't drive!
I'm not saying it is going to happen but people need to be prepared for Jon to leave as a GT. It's just how things work in today's college basketball world.
If it happens, I hope our fans are gracious about it. Kid did a lot for our program and hes earned the right to do what is best for him.
Are there legs to this rumor? I have actually heard this but discounted it as just wild speculation....
No I have not heard any rumors at all.
I'm just saying, don't be surprised if it happens and certainly don't be upset with Elmore.
For a future in the NBA, John would be best served to stay where he is.
Because there is no guarantee he will play where ever he ends up
You can be safe in saying he won’t have the freedom he has in this system somewhere else.
I think Elmore stays
He plays in a NBA system. Anywhere he goes, he still needs to get stronger.

Agree. He'll have to choose wisely if he goes somewhere else. I hate social media - just wild speculation.
To summarize:
Friday Evening - Elmore has a spectacular day against Wichita.
Herd Nation posters ecstatic over Elmore. Best shooting guard in the country, NBA lottery pick.
Monday Morning - Elmore has a bad day, after spending two hours on the court against Jevon Carter (1st team all Defensive player) and the rest of the stout WVU defense.
Herd Nation posters upset over Elmore. Can't play against the big boys, won't be able to play pro ball, transferring out, better stay at Marshall because he can't play against decent competition.

I call bullsh*t. He may not be a first-rounder, or even a starter, but there's a place in the league for someone with his range and ability to set other people up to score.
Its his lack of ability to defend. Yes he does at time shoot the ball well. This country is full of kids shooting the long ball. Heck that's all they do. 3 point line is something I'm not a fan of unless Its backed way back. Elmore can hit those 40 footers.
You only need to play defense in the NBA the last two minutes of any game. Have you not watched the NBA for the last 15 years?
He already plays in a NBA style system. He is assured a starting position here. He just needs to develop in a few areas yet if he hopes to make it to the next level. If he stays he could end up being listed as one of the all time greats to ever play at Marshall. That may or may not be a big deal to him.
Don't piss me off, Duke. I picked Duke to win the title in my bracket, so I hold the power to put the whammy on them. You know as well as I do that the defense is picked up dramatically in the final minutes of an NBA game.
