It was a different attitude toward the coach. There was also a long string of Carmody guys who mysteriously quit with eligibility remaining, but nobody said a peep.
Hell, he had to rely on a walk-on point guard for two years ... nothing.
Year after year of 11 and 12 scholarship players (which I agree with)? No problem there.
But now ...
What off the court issues? Please inform us.
Your welcome. Your slow, but welcome. Where is Dave with that push pull cartoon?
Come on , you do know that the Lathon thing was not caused by Collins. Also Vassar was trouble from the get go. How many high schools did he attend?
The Lathon debacle was not something he could have controlled
Whose welcome? Whose slow?
Vassar stands out. Remember, that little Federal lawsuit.
No you don’t. Most recent revelation said it happened during his visit here. While Lathon is his own man, bad supervision and planning can take some credit too.
How do you keep gcg in suspense?
How do you know? What happened?
The lawsuit that was dropped at the federal level and re-filed at the state level, seemingly because he's looking for a jurisdiction that will give him the time of day?

i don't think the dismissal of lathon was wrong. i think it was the timing of it. per news articles lathon visited in janurary. also per news articles lathon was dismissed the last week of may. there is no recruiting (incoming frosh or grad transfer at that point)
Your legal analysis is fresh and helpful. Suppose you routinely blow off state Courts, judgements and judges...
Your avoidance of the point is palpable.

Your ignorance is amusing.
Although he has me on ignore, I would Super like this post if possible and give corbi a high five.You could be right about Lathon but we just don’t know. Could Collins have avoided the whole situation or cut the cord earlier? Not sure.
I am less inclined to give Collins the benefit of the doubt on Vassar. For the very reasons you mentioned and the fact that he wasn’t a very good player, Collins should had never recruited him. What I found most upsetting was the reported handling of the player after it was determined the player was not a fit. Colllins tried to make life difficult on the kid to force him to transfer rather than let him stay in school. That is unacceptable from my perspective. I don’t want student athletes to be treated that way at NU.
Get back to your brown liquor and obnoxiousness.
Ok, when did the event occur? May? January?
I have to believe there was some course of action between the incident and the dismissal. Not some knee jerk reaction.

Wrong. Again. Even been posted here. I’m a vodka guy.

55 years as an NU alum and watching how they operate?Seriously, how do you know this?
I know. I didn’t mean to post that and didn’t finish my thought. My point was going to be players strongly disliked Carmody but he seemed to get more out of his players and we didn’t see the bizarre stuff we’re seeing now.It was a different attitude toward the coach. There was also a long string of Carmody guys who mysteriously quit with eligibility remaining, but nobody said a peep.

No. There is no supervison that would have stopped it. He made an awful choice.No you don’t. Most recent revelation said it happened during his visit here. While Lathon is his own man, bad supervision and planning can take some credit too.
the papers saw he visited in january and dimissed at the end of may
from a math standpoint that seems like 4.5 months after the visit - so it took 4.5 months to make a decision - at which point recruiting is over
agree.
hypothetical though (seriously - no info on this - looking for perspective) say a kid decides to leave. tells his teammates and coaches he wants out. explores his options and realizes there are no options up to his standards. then he has decision remorse and wants to come back. do you take him back with open arms? are you excited for that player in your program in which you are trying to build a winning culture? if the player not deemed a fit - at that point what do you do?
Then the kid had too much freedom on the visit, or the visit wasn’t properly structured, or the kid shouldn’t have been recruited.
I had a few revenue sport based officials in H.S. including one to USC. I got laid more than a couple times and drank on most of them. And I have heard stories of more and better officials than mine. If Lathon got in trouble on a visit and no other existing athlete got in trouble then there was a problem.
I was always ‘in the company’ of a coach or athlete.
No. There is no supervison that would have stopped it. He made an awful choice.
Nope, maybe not. Maybe keep him as a practice player. If he really develops, maybe play him. But I would not run him off. That entire episode is a black eye.
i think if there was something done at such a level to require dismissal it shouldn't have taken almost 5 months - should have been pretty obvious - right?
of course you would
And you would make him clean toilets. Hi Chris. Thanks for joining us. Nice user name.

I remember Coble.
Who were the others? Just a question for clarification.....
Don't you worry your little head aboit it Bob. You can be confident that we're thinking about your posts here the same way we always do...Yup, just found it. He is graduating early. No way he wouldn’t be used. Unknown true frosh and RS frosh is all that’s left. Unless to play yet another player out of position in Nance. Benson was expected to be the starter.
So all you that called me chicken little and hater and such, what are you thinking now? Suspect it will be pretty quiet around here.
Down to nine schollie players and hoping no more shoes left to fall. (Turner or a decommit)
Wrong again!Million dollar question and an answer no one will know.
Anyone notice Haywood disappeared?
How do you feel about BB or FB player employees of the university?You could be right about Lathon but we just don’t know. Could Collins have avoided the whole situation or cut the cord earlier? Not sure.
