Ex Arizona freshman five star recruit to SMU?

[Mustangsabu]

This is one of those moments where I show how little I know. If this kid comes to SMU he has to sit out a year, but am I right when I say that he can practice with the team, he just can't play in games? If that is the case, surely we have a year to see if this kid will do what he is supposed to do to keep himself eligible, how he meshes with the other kids (and of course the other kids get to practice with a quality player), and if it doesn't work out we free a scholarship before he ever actually affects Ws and Ls.

Are we confident that the school will accept him? This may be Brown's first head butting session.

C'mon everyone settle down....he is just coming in to talk to the SMU brass...why don't you let THEM ultimately decide whether Turner is a bad egg or not? I trust their decision and let them make it, not the fan boards. It may all be a moot point....

I suspect the dance department will have a few more students this year.

Story in the Arizona student newspaper (I think) about Turner and the possibility of him ending up at SMU. Remarkably flattering presentation of SMU from an outsider looking in.

Although there’s no shortage of social life at a school filled with spoiled rich kids waiting to spend money, SMU also has a tradition of excellence in the classroom.

Well, duh. How is this different from any tier one university?

Remarkably well written, thoughtful and on-target article. I hope Turner reads and heads it.

[CalallenStang]

heads it.

lol, the guy is great, but you guys are crazy if you think this is a 2nd chance. Try 15th. He's more than a malcontent, thus far n his life he's just an awful human being.

Got a DWI just this past weekend

awful human being? Ive meet the kid and hes not an awful human being. i got pulled over in tucson for a suspicion of dui stone cold sober, didnt get arrested but still. Basketball speaking he's super quick and could take us to the tournament he's that good.

I've met the kid many times, and know tons of stories. I could care less about the DWI, that's small stuff

Hoopmax, can you expand on your comments at this time?

[Canadian Mustang]

There's lots of stuff on the Arizona boards.

edit/addition - If he comes here it's worth giving him a clean start.

The folks at the DC could take lessons from the guy that wrote that article.

Most of the people at the Daily Communist are nerds who got wedgies from athletes in high school.

I wonder what the "deficit" for the Meadows School of the Arts is?
