Felix back home

I'm not convinced having a sick mother is grounds for a redshirt. if he re aggravated an injury,that would be grounds for 1. And as unfair as it sounds wo a redshirt,he looses the year,Like Hooper did playing 1 game for Harvard. that said, I hope he gets it.

But he is back in his country and not in school.  It's a little different to me.

Felix Balamou is back with #SJUBB today after tending to a family illness in Guinea.

Don't know about redshirt. But Felix is sitting behind bench in all red warmup , not regular warmups

He was in regular warm ups on Saturday. Wonder if they got the red shirt back? Can you even do that?

I know of guys who played a little in football got their red shirt back. But they got hurt . Tyler eifert from nd played a little as freshman. He hurt his back.  ( atleast he said he did) he also only played a little in the very beginning of the season . Not sure if that makes a difference

Hopefully Felix's buddy Diallo was watching last night. His former coach at OSNA was;

@EJack_: Congrats to former OSNA player @obekpa12 on his 10 pt 5 rb and 3 blks last night in @StJohnsBBall 86-76 win over Providence last night

I know no one feels that Felix is the answer, but I am curious about what is going on with him.  I've always been intrigued by his athleticism and reputation for being a hard worker.  I'm looking forward to seeing him play even with the growing pains we'll see on the court.

I hope he isn't transferring.  And I hope to hell he qualifies for the red shirt this year because of his family situation.  Haven't heard anything more on that.

I hear he plans to room with Cheick Diallo in 2015.

I really hope not. He's the kind of player we need more of.

That was a joke.  He was indicating that Diallo will not be at St. John's.

Yes.  Sorry.  It was a joke.  I would have no problems seeing Felix fill Phil's shoes next year.  Just hope he has 3 years left and not 2.
