southern miss basketball being investigated

Is it stupid to think we should wait until we see what they actually have on him before burning the AD to the ground?

 

in fairness even if it turns out to be nothing, burning the AD to the ground would still be a good idea

 

I guess. I still don't hate the Tyndall hire at all.

 

The SEC seriously blows so I guess we can make some noise with mid-major recruits. I just find it a bit hard to believe this most recent faux pas hasn't capped our high-level recruiting (not that it's been a revelation to date anyways).

 

i don't either, aside from this nonsense. i think he wins here, if he doesn't get show-caused. just have to wonder if the powers that be shouldn't have seen something like this coming

 

if this turns out to be nothing and goes away, will it still cap recruiting?

 

No.

 

They absolutely should. Unfortunately, incompetence abounds.

 

that's what i think

 

Maybe not if we're winning. If we're kicking around the NIT, not sure why anyone with options would take a chance on someone as likely as not to have you tournament banned by junior year.

 

If he sucks and is routinely in the NIT, then he's probably not going to recruit well regardless of some "fear" of NCAA violations.

 

Sure, if that's his peak. What about near term? We already lost Clarke, not sure if we're in on any other top prospects but our two commits seemed rather Cuonzo-esque last time I checked (been a couple months at least), and I guess they aren't even guaranteed now. Is what we have already good enough to establish Tyndall here?

Could be a moot point anyways given our NCAA investigations luck.

 

From what I read, the Clark kid was a reach anyway because his dad was totally in favor of him going to Va. Tech. I'm just not sure this is an issue if there's nothing to this.

 

The most disheartening thing about all of this is, in order for anything to change, the odds of us having to wait for some of those in power to die off has gone from veritable likelihood to utter certainty.

 

Tony Barbee come on down.

 

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

 

the only answer is rick byrd.

 

That wouldn't be my only option.

I already ignore baseball, and would just add basketball to the list.

 

Cuonzo Martin has a smile on his face from ear to ear.

 

He must be under the assumption that he's the only man capable of delivering us to the NIT.
