The Knicks would find him some minutes.

The only 'pro' is he will be working in the PRO-duce section at Tom Thumb. ...

The young man chose to come to SMU and it did not workout. No need to rip the young man.

Yes, see Keith Frazier thread.

No, it is a POTENTIAL problem, but we don't know that yet. Kennedy was academics - everyone loses one from time to time, that is typical. JM is increasingly looking like he was just a miss, not a problem on SMU's end. We don't know about KF, I am willing to wait and see based on our other successes

Ripping jm... Isn't he basically quitting half way through the season?
We need him especially if the other bad rumors come true!

As soon you people realize they are here to play basketball, not go to class, then you understand. Yes, it's a messed up system and that doesn't make it right, but that's the way it is.

Certainly Martin is/was. What else would a fifth year senior transfer be doing. The college version of a rental. Too bad but i guess this one is simply a fail. Had he spent a year sitting out perhaps he'd have been a factor after.

What I hear from some Xavier people up here is that Martin kind of gave up on school when he realized that he wasn't going to get any minutes. Little to do with not being able to do the work or an academic casualty. He wants to head overseas and see what he can do as opposed to being stuck on the bench. Once MK came back he just decided to move on.
