Oso planning to go pro
Hopefully, this is the end of it.
I think the long term ramifications are the real problem. The negative recruiting story writes itself and doesn't go away after March.
Eh, maybe. He said he immediately apologized, and it is the first time something like this has come up with him. If there was more to it, there would be more reports from players and coworkers... sort of like there was with Gregg Marshall.I think this story is over unless other past allegations arise.
As a stand alone I agree, but depending on what happened behind the scenes with the NCAA violations a couple of years back there could also be a trend of questionable behavior that adds up. I know the assistant that was the cause of the investigation left the program but don't know if any of that touched McDermott.
Remember there were also some allegations from former Black players just a few months ago. Then you have McDermott using words like plantation, and apparently he has lost the team....I think he's done.
Who TF even says the word plantation? How is that in your lexicon?
Such a weird phrase to come out of someone's mouth, especially since its not the 80s or something. Seems like he owned up and hopes to grow as a person. Its not like he deflected his responsibility and didnt own up to it, like so many other people do with their "apologies". Its not right what he said, but noone is perfect. We can only hope people change and become more aware of their words and the impact they have.
Based on what we know today, I hope McDermott can survive this.
