I think this is more a loss for Brent than MU.

If Brent stayed the only way he was coming was if JJJ or STj transferred.  Remember we were 1 over on scholarships.

So, I 100% agree with you that I would rather have JJJ or STj over Harris.

I love how you guys are dumping on a kid who got caught smoking pot......

Something about glass houses ....stones....etc....

AKA.....How many of you have partaken.....At least 50%.....

If the kid can play....and has no other issues.....

I have no problem with it......

Pot will  be legal in a majority of states within 20 years....

As long as the government gets their taxes out of it.....

You aren't wrong.   Who among us would want to be known for the stupid crap we did when we were 17-18?    Teenagers have been doing silly stuff forever.    The big difference that I see is that we always did our best to hide it from our parents, whereas today's teens seem to want to flaunt it in social media.     Which is just another version of being impulsive and narcissistic without thinking through consequences.    Isn't that one of the defining characteristics of being a teenager?    But in this case, the dude set a girl's hair on fire.    A poor choice, even by normal teenage standards.   Pot?   Meh.   This?

i'll take a pot smoker over someone who gets on a message board and calls a kid a punk.  i wonder how many people on this site smoked or drank in high school even though they signed a code of conduct that said they wouldn't...then turn around and rip a kid like malek.  what a joke.

Look it guys, everybody deserves a second chance.  He lost out his senior year in high school, he will never get that back.  Hopefully, he will clean up his act.  If he would have signed with MU,  everybody would be excited.  Since he is not, you are name calling, that is ridiculous.  No one has ever made a stupid mistake.  We all have.  Also, Buzz will recruit kids to Blacksburg because he does work hard.  But will he have a private plane like he had at MU?  That to me is huge as a coach.  Biggest recruiting tool now adays.

I think he's had a 2nd and maybe a 3rd chance already otherwise the suspension wouldn't have been the entire season

Send the MU administration an email. Let them know he should have a 2nd (or 5th) chance.

There's a reason he didn't sign.

This is one of those cases where it all seems to come down to a person's personal 'line'.    Most of us probably drank underage.   Some engaged in casual recreational pharmaceuticals.   Most did not set a girl's hair on fire.   I am not going to bash the kid, because I did my own stupid things when I was 17.   That doesn't mean that it breaks my heart he is going elsewhere.

As much as I love visualizing this scenario, I wouldn't jump the gun on any of his recruits going to play for him. Ahmed Hill seems really fond of him and spoke on how he can't wait to get involved with the Buzz's bunch program. I wouldn't rule out him or Pierce going to Va Tech. Praying for Hill to come to MU

Buzz was dirt poor for much of his life. Imagining him as miserable trying to make ends meet on 2.4 million a year while flying commercial (0h, the humanity!) is silly but whatever floats your boat. As far as his recruits and assistants let's wait and see.

It was a joke. I dont hate Buzz, I question why he played Derrick Wilson so much but that was about all. But im not wrong about not getting his assistants. Neither Chew or Autry are following him and if Hill does not end up coming to MU I cannot imagine that he would go to VT is schools like Kentucky were actually calling.

Oh, I rocked the Jewfro, baby! I can say with great confidence that I was one of the few authentic Jewfros on campus during my time at MU.

The student IDs I saved from those days still elicit great laughter at parties. Not too unlike any of those in these pix.

That WAS the point of my post. You don't just get suspended from the basketball team for attempted murder.

But Scoopers definitely aren't too worried about the truth when a good lie is much more exciting.

Whether he did that or not but for arguments sake lets say he did. Im not condoning that action or saying its right by any means but how can you be so steadfast in the view that he cant improve and turn it around? You see him as some thug because he made a mistake. People have come back from much worse then that.

Not all drug offenses are created equal.  And where did attempted murder come from?

People have come back from much worse then that.

He had already been suspended for other issues before.  Lighting a girl's hair on fire is not "making a mistake."  If me not being okay with giving a kid "another chance" after he has already been suspended for drugs and then again for lighting a girl's hair on fire makes me a worse, less forgiving human being than you, so be it.  I do not want a kid who is willing to set a girl's hair on fire at my alma mater.  And the highest of highs at the University do not want him there either.  Which is a large part of why our former coach Bert is no longer at the University.  Because he couldn't bring in kids like this and he didn't like that.

Just one man's opinion.

And thats fine. I just look at it more then the story published such as the background of the person, what life was like for them growing up etc. Also in terms of getting suspended for drugs. Personally I believe that, that is a complete non-issue. Again my personal opinion but I really dont see the big deal for being suspended for weed.

He was also suspended his junior year for a different offense.  At some point it stops being a mistake and becomes a pattern. I personally don't know the details so I won't make any assumption but I have to believe that the people making the decision do know a lot more about it.

I can agree with the second part of that.  Suspended for one drug issue, sure.  Give the kid a chance.  He would hardly be the first or last person to experiment with drugs that ended up at Marquette, whether in the basketball program or not.  But lighting a girl's hair on fire is not a "mistake," and is way too far across the line, regardless of what his upbringing was.  That is not acceptable.

Apparently - you were the starter of this rumor here. Here is a quote from one of your posts on 10/5/2013:

My buddy next door went to Sandburg his lil bro evidently parties with Harris and I was paraphrasing what he said (granted after a few beers but... Still awkward) But yeah that is what I was told and after five years reading this page I know it's no worse than most of the other "sources" we all post about.

Nothing screams truth like hearing a rumor from your buddy's little brother. Convincing someone like Wadesworld to believe you is a simple task. Convincing people who can think on their own is slightly more difficult.

First off you're talking about the original person who told me surprisingly I happen to know more than one kid from there.  And have confirmed what I heard with other people which is more than you can say I'm sure.  Second I was drunk so me making fun of my own source is nothing to hang your hat on.  In fact I have less respect for you for trying to act like like a master debater because you found a drunken quote from me. 

Finally, grammar really? Don't be a prick.  Maybe I'll go through all your posts and start commenting on your grammar.  Commenting on grammar is what frustrated people do in online chat rooms when they want to insult but have nothing of value to say, a category that describes you perfectly in this instance.

Lol. I ripped on bagpipingboxer when he posted this...until Mike Broeker said it. But hey, what would he know? He just saw it on MUScoop and can't think on his own either.

Why did Malek never sign at MU brandx? Haven't heard your story. Just curious. Weed? Well, Mo Acker had no problem with that. I'm just wondering the reason. You must know, if multiple people, including the associate AD, have confirmed this, but it's just made up. What's the truth kid?

Here you go.  I'll do the work for you.  Here are some quotes from my posts shortly after bagpipingboxer originally posted that Malek lit a girl's hair on fire:

- Yeah taking the word of a current college student on what a (current, past, or future) student athlete did wrong is always smart.

- Really?  I heard he bombed the Willis Tower.  I also heard his grandparents' uncle had a scholarship revoked once.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

So, unless I had some big, elaborate plan back in October, knowing Buzz would be gone and Malek would never sign with Marquette at the end of the season that was still a month from starting, it would make you wonder why my tone changed on this story.  Maybe I heard something more?  From someone I consider to be a little more reliable than someone on MUScoop?  But nah, that wouldn't happen.

You can believe what you want to believe, like I did when bagpipingboxer originally posted the story, but you might want to think before you make personal attacks next time.
