We can overcome 1 player.
Pretty hard to overcome losing your Friday night starter, if the rumor is true.
Did it last year...

Because starting pitching was the reason we bowed out in the Supers last year...

Hey guys...we are aware of a situation going on with a player on the team but - out of respect for the player and the A&M staff - we are going to let the process play out and give Rob and A&M a chance to release the specifics when they feel necessary. Friday is the first day of practice and I expect a release to come at any moment between now and then.
Please try to respect the sensitive situation by letting it come out officially before including any specific names. Thanks for understanding.
That sounds all too familiar ... " we're not reporting this outta respect" ... " it's been on my desk for hours"

I was asked to hold it and I'm holding it until further notice.
quote:Really dumb move, especially since he was suspended in the fall for the same reasons. Total let down to his team, school and coach.
Just not a smart move for an individual who has great potential. The baseball team will be fine because of depth though. Like my grandfather always said, "if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes", and unfortunately, this player won that prize.
quote:And that is above board journalistically and still keeping integrity and all the while allowing the process to play out officially, per requests from my sources. Nothing wrong with that.quote:

Except that you went ahead and told us you knew.
quote:Maybe he's had multiple chances?
So what could he have done that's so bad that warrants this? We couldn't give him a 10 game suspension or something, along with some other discipline routines?
quote:As far as I know he hasn't been arrested or doing anything illegal. I assume we'd have heard about it. It doesn't sound like it's academic related. If he's dismissed the nobody in the AD is going to say what for.quote:Maybe he's had multiple chances?

quote:Exactly. What were they rumored to have tripped up on, though? If anything staff seems super cautious about posting anything compared to other sites which will throw anything out there.
This site has to walk a fine line between being the first to break news and yet not pissing off anyone at A&M. It's a tough line to walk and one that they were rumored to have tripped up on pretty bad within the past few months.
quote:So how many chances would you give a player? For some reason, sometimes they just do not believe you when they are told no more. Will wait until Friday to see the official response, I would expect some softer story to loosen the blow. Similar to last year.

Don't be surprised to see an additional dismissal

quote:If it's about an academic eligibility issue, I've been told that the issue has been 100% cleared up and was not the fault of the player, who makes great grades. I don't believe there to be a second issue. I chased down a rumor that turned out to have a valid explanation and appears to be all good.
Unfortunately, no, I can not provide details. My info is based on what I was told by someone who has been 100% accurate in reference to Aggie athletics
quote:If that's the case, good deal. I wasn't told what type of issue was going on. I hope it was indeed the academic issue Gabe mentioned.quote:If it's about an academic eligibility issue, I've been told that the issue has been 100% cleared up and was not the fault of the player, who makes great grades.
