What does Tayshawn want to do?
Hurley, get off the phone with the press and get the guardians sigs. NOT THAT HARD

Marquette is looking like the bad guy in all of this and the kid should have a chance to pursue other options. I hope that it is just the technicality and MU isn't playing hardball. The kid wanted to play for TC and TC is now gone. I don't think he should be "forced" to play for MU. I wouldn't stand for it at any other school and I won't stand for it at Marquette. I think we're better than that and it is just this technicality.
With all the things going on we haven't eliminated Marquette, but we would like him to use his two other visits as we're going through this process, just to have a little more information for him."

For all we know TT wants to come Marquette & play. The guardian ought to step in and put Hurley in his place.
What a classless a** clown. I know we have a moratorium on name calling with respect to Hurley, but enough is enough.
Great job by Rosiak.
This Hurley guy is a class A jerk, plain and simple. Even if he has the kid's best interests in mind, he certainly is doing just about everything to sabotoge those interests.His statements, as well as those of Taylor's, have changed from day to day and from week to week, as he attempts to further his agenda at MU's expense. What a classless a** clown. I know we have a moratorium on name calling with respect to Hurley, but enough is enough. Finally, I say that this guy's weak comparison to the St. Anthony's case is laughable and doesn't hold water. What a joke.

He's being a complete pretty boy. To be honest, I don't know where the moratorium came from. I'll ask Hilltopper. IMO, Hurley deserves to be criticized here.
"if this was St. Anthony's High School, and a young man's family came to me and told me that they were unhappy and would I sign our state waiver so that they would be eligible to play someplace else, if I'd done the best I could coaching and it wasn't working, I would sign it and they'd be gone and I'd wish them the best of luck."
Dude...I still can't figure out what "pretty boy" is.
Hurley does have a point though, with Williams, I think. Anyone care to drop knowledge?
You mean with Nick Williams? Or what point are you talking about?
I wish Buzz could talk to TT & the Guardian without Hurley anywhere near just to hear in their own words how they feel.
"It's a stall, there's no doubt about it," he said. "If they say otherwise...if this was St. Anthony's High School, and a young man's family came to me and told me that they were unhappy and would I sign our state waiver so that they would be eligible to play someplace else, if I'd done the best I could coaching and it wasn't working, I would sign it and they'd be gone and I'd wish them the best of luck.
"Our obligation is to the student-athlete," said deputy athletic director Mike Broeker. "And up to this point, neither Tyshawn nor his family has informed us of his decision."
Former St. Bernard's and Henry Sibley basketball star Trevor Mbakwe, who considered transferring from Marquette after his freshman season this year, has decided to remain with the team. The Gophers were expected to pursue the 6-foot-8 forward if he had made himself available.
I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor is content to let Hurley handle the situation - I can't imagine having to deal with all of this at the end of the school year after having a school all lined up and committed.However, asking the signees of the LOI request to be released is pretty reasonable as red tape goes, and I can't understand Hurley characterizing it as Taylor being "held hostage". Getting upset and taking the fight to the media doesn't help Taylor any more than it does MU - whether it benefits Hurley is a different question.edit: would =/= wouldn't
that's the point. He can't let Hurley handle the whole situation. The student and parents/guardians must sign the release form. Hurley has nothing to do with filling out the form.
