[SMUstangs22]

I want to take a moment to apologize for being the one to post this news.

Man, I'm still sick about it.

You or someone else. Does not matter. It is what it is. Looking forward, I am interested to see what transpires in the next few weeks...

I hate that man.

Well we for sure should take away Jean Michael's scholarship, although we won't. Just crushing.

And we shouldn't. No need to be vindictive. It will only hurt on the program in the long run.

yeah, no way LB would do something like that. the godfather has too much class.

LB indeed has class. Even told Jean Michael to stay after he implied he might leave. However a deal was stuck. SMU gave Jean Michael a free ride even though he is terrible at basketball, taking a scholarship from a more able player. Jean Michael should say he is injured or some BS and let him stay at SMU, give up his coveted spot on our team. Then he, his mommy and brother can live the life of millionaires a year from now. Break a leg Mudiay.

Great article from Gary Parrish of CBS Sports

The end made me tear up a little bit. Oh what could have been...


"As for SMU, man, this really is unfortunate

Mudiay is the type of player -- a physically overwhelming point guard with great size, tremendous athleticism and a good-enough jumper -- who would've had the Mustangs in the preseason Top 25 and in contention for the AAC title. Now, that program-changing recruit will never play college basketball, and that's too bad for all involved ... except for the agent who will get a cut of a contract signed a year earlier than expected."

Had a bad day at work and then had to hear this reported on the Ticket, what a kick in the cojones, but we are still deeper and better than last year. So I shan't be crying over spilled milk and am still pumped for the season. Go 'Stangs.

It absolutely sucks but, when someone leaves, it gives someone else the opportunity to step up......

Wonder what he took from UA?

I commented on that article via twitter - really well-written by Parrish, stating he does not buy the "taking care of momma" b.s.

He calls it out for what it is - my favorite part of the story:

"And, according to Mudiay, this decision has nothing to do with amateurism issues?

With all due respect, I'm not buying it.

And neither should you.

Because, according to multiple sources, the truth is that there were growing concerns, real or imagined, that the projected lottery pick might have a difficult time getting through the NCAA Eligibility Center. In other words, there was a very real possibility that Mudiay would become the next Josh Selby or Shabazz Muhammed, i.e., an elite recruit found guilty of taking improper benefits to the point where a suspension would be possible, if not likely."

Shouldn't that be "Dale Hansen is UNCORKED"?
