Ummm I see quite a few Marquette mentions.
This is interesting. So they have three players mentioned with legal issues and another who just decided to transfer on a whim? 🤔 me thinks there's something more to come on akinjo
Maybe he saw his buddy Leblanc getting kicked off and others on the gangplank and wants off the sinking ship. Nothing discipline wise, just unhappy.
And LeBlanc
Akinjo wasn't very good last year and hasn't been good yet this year.Still a big loss from a depth perspective and both guys had upside.
Akinjo lit us up n cost us a BE title

When I first read the title, I thought it said Akanno transferring. Whew.

To be fair. The complaint alleges that Leblanc and "his friends" committed burglary, and then Leblanc threatened "bodily harm" that is documented in text messages.
In response to the threats by Joshua LeBlanc and his two friends, my roommates and I have filed multiple police reports that are pending currently and being investigated. We continue to fear for our personal safety and well-being
I cannot imagine why any school, especially a Catholic school would want this type of negative publicity and arguable why schools try very hard to make sure the right types of kids are coming to their institutions.
Read it too. The exact wording, in the "other information" was:So, 2 friends (surprised only one is listed) and roommates mentioned.
Yeah, the problem here is "bad publicity". And seminaries should have been more careful about whom to admit also. An epidemic of pedophilia can result in bad publicity. Some victims, too, I guess...but the bad publicity!
Really poorly handled by Georgetown. Sam Vecenie is reporting the two transfers are not linked. Akinjo just wanted to leave, but by bundling the release and letting it get out that both were kicked off the team, Akinjo got tied into Leblanc's actions. That's a really bad look.EDIT: Worse look, crimes committed in September, restraining orders issued November 5, all the players involved played Saturday. That's bad for Ewing.A sexual assault survivor & activist on Twitter said she worked with Georgetown on these types of issues in August and had special sessions with the athletics department. If the staff was advised how to handle these situations 3 months ago, hard to see how they will survive this.
Excellent point. Couldn’t agree more. Yet you seem to agree that MSU is a “better program” than Marquette. Where’s the outrage at the horror show that is the entire MSU athletic department? I will give you the benefit of the doubt, as your succinct and accurate reply to my original post about Virginia hoops was solely focused on uVA. But I suspect you would say MSU is a better program than MU when it fits the narrative.
I'm going to agree with brew. This looks damn bad for the GTown program. And if Akinjo is simply jumping off a sinking ship Georgetown's decision to include his departure in the original press release is inexcusable. I'll ask it here first. Does Ewing survive this? Does he even make it to Christmas? Does this similarly implicate the AD? This has the potential to be very, very bad.
