BasketBull Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I agree that it isn’t on the same level, but he was on staff for a few months and his biggest accomplishment was putting the program on probation. Forgive me for not wishing him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me for not wishing him the best. It was actually getting one of our best current players on the roster. I’m not excusing him or his actions but we unfortunately have to admit that we don’t have Mballa without him and we all know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mballa just have had to sit out a year if he didn't do what he did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did Jenkins get him under the notion that “I can get you on the floor” Guess we'll never completely know. Without "testimony" that he was being forced out at TTU, it seemed reasonable that he would have to sit out given that he played in about half their games (even in very limited minutes) including the tourney game against us. But I also see Dutch's point - while not on that scale, violations like this can be a slippery slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchcountry7 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I wish him the best. I want people to learn from their mistakes and get in the right track. But he was a cheater and committed fraud. Let’s not act like it was a noble act. Maybe he will grow up. He is getting another chance. Hope he learned his lesson and starts following rules.

This was honestly the most surprising part of this whole report to me. Though I guess in this case the claim was that TTU was treating him unfairly so teammate corroboration makes sense here?

DooleyBull06 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) It could be worse, we could’ve been Stephen F. Austin. Yes I know their violations are APR related. Edited May 20, 2020 by DooleyBull06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see Rondo working that pick and roll. We need more of that. Would love to see Mballa work more on low post moves/mid range pops. In the MAC he can dominate anywhere on the floor. Great to see Nickleberry playing after the whole concussion ordeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
