MBOA MIGHT BE LEAVING THE PROGRAM

[GOMU85]

I had a chat with MBOA last night and he was'nt too sure if he was coming back next year. So as everyone has speculated, MBAO indeed maybe the one to leave if another recruit in signed...

[mu89]

honestly, it's kind of a bummer that someone who commits to a program might be asked to leave. I'm not sure if that's the case here but it doesn't seem decent. I hope Mbao situation works out for him.

I'm guessing you were at the Sigma Chi party last night too huh? I shook hands with Yous when I walked by him. He honestl y didn't seem to be in a really good mood.

Who is this Mboa you speak of?

[Clam Crowder]

dude at least someone else pointed out that this was at a party. I saw him too, and yeah he didn't look too happy. I never really see Yous with any of the team to be honest on campus

[Big Papi]

With Buzz going hard after some bigs, it sure looks like somebody's days at MU is numbered.  Could very well be Mbao.  I thought I heard or read somewhere that his knee is still an issue.

[nyg]

If in fact true and again if, when does the staff make such an announcement, after a new recruit is signed?

[Tom Crean's Tanning Bed]

I imagine it would probably in conjunction with the announcement of a new signing.

[4everwarriors]

Oh surprise, surprise.

[willie warrior]

Is there anybody starting to wonder about some of these guys (Mbao, if true, Roseboro, McMorrow,  the Juco who has rape issues, etc.) not working out? Jury is still out on Otule.

I hope one of these days we get it right on a big.

Oh yeah--I forgot the 7 foot mystery recruit who is an altar boy with an A Average and a HS AA that we will be snapping up.

Wonder what about these guys? That MU has had some bad luck with bigs?

GOMU85...

could you possibly provide any details on the converstaion?  Was the conversation as simply as "hey Mbao you coming back"  and he stated "not too sure".  

Did he insinuate that he wanted to leave or was being asked to leave...injury sitution...academic situation.  carrer threatening sitution or anything.

appreciate the info and not to kill the messanger but a one sentance post like that begs many questions.

This has been apparent now for several months. I know there are those on this board who get blood pressure spikes over these types of rumors, but, college basketball is big time business.
Just step back and look at the obvious over the past 2 months. Is it really any shock that Yous may not be back, for whatever reason?

[TJ]

The biggest problem with the whole situation (not just Mbao, but coaches forcing players out in general) is that the player is punished and has to sit out a year for something that he could have had no say in.  If athletic scholarships are indeed 1 year renewable scholarships, then there really needs to be a distinction made between players decision to transfer (sit out a year) and scholarship not renewed (free transfer).

[4everwarriors]

Well, yes and no. Assuming the player lands another schollie elsewhere, he still is getting a free ride at a university and can practice, get his academics in order, etc.
If the athlete has pro potential, this is a non-issue since it's not likely that he gets creaned to begin with.

[77ncaachamps]

Are you sure he wasn't sad because he couldn't score that night?

Buzz likes winners...not losers. if you are at a sigma chi party you are a loser.

Yeah, that Liam and his heart issue. What a bust. Buzz should have called three cardiologists before signing him.

How bout we think before we post?

I would like to nominate mumike22 for the POTD award.

Well played Michael.  Well played.

[wadefan#1]

He would probably be the guy to go if we indeed do get another recruit.

Agreed. Besides, Mbao is clearly not BE material. He just has to small a frame. Great kid, just not right for the physical play of the conference.

Can you be a little more descriptive?

[ChicosBailBonds]

This would be stunning since if only he added a few pounds he would be an all Big East player (ahem....another classic Mr. Hayward \ Canadian Dimes quote)

Hope it works out well for the young man if he leaves, but I'd say the landing of "stud" big men hasn't gotten any better under Buzz so far.  Hopefully that will change, but as has always been stated, bigs are hard to find and you can't just go down to the local high school and pick them up.
