Mobley leaves basketball team

[Velcro]

here we go again. 12 freakin players. any guesses who's gonna go next? Kind of tired of these chosen athletes not cutting the mustard. Other schools seem to have these kids. why not us?

One person left... big deal...  

Mosley leaving doesn't exactly count... that is a special circumstance.  

[Markeymark]

This is starting to become a freaking pattern with this program.

He probably couldn't get eligible in time.

Not unheard of for players transferring from JUCO...

We have several other JUCO transfers on the team without any known grade issues, so doesn't seem like a pattern to me.

Kid was in over his head.  This has nothing to do with anything but the kids inability to balance college academics and basketball.

This isn't JUCO.  We actually require our kids to go to class.

He's listed on our current roster:

Was he dressed Friday?

[Velcro]

No, he was't, but i do believe he was on the bench.  Not totally sure though.

[Omniscientbull]

He was not dressed and was not on the bench.

[Velcro]

Who was the tall guy that wasn't dressed, but on the bench?

looked to be about 6'7 or so when he was standing next to Terrence.

(i know it isn't Moss)

Mobley was not in SunDome for game vs StLeo

There but not dressed, was Moss and Flowers, walkon's from last year, Capko, transfer from Florida (cannot play until sometime in Dec),   Buckley (transfer from Purdue, sitting out this year), Bridgeman (eye problem) and of course B.Mosley

There was an article the other day mentioning that Willie Williams had left the football team and wanted to play USF basketball for McCullum. I'm not sure where that stands at the moment:

Willie Williams - #15

I think Mag Pie is referring to Stevie Moss who transferred in last year - Mobley was playing at a JUCO last year, therefore Mag Pie could not have seen him on the bench.
