[Rosiak's Blog] Singleton no longer at MU

[lurch91]

Chicos, the point is that those who know who the four players are have gone to great pains to not identify who they are since this story broke - especially since no charges were filed or arrests were made.  And you have just identified two of them.  

And frankly outside of calling attention to yourself, I don't know why you would do so at this point in time.

LET ME ADD...that I don't think this incident had anything to do with why those players left.

This.  You might think you're playing Upton Sinclair, but you're really just showing how much of a douche you really are.   Notice, not one media outlet has published that 2 of the 4 supposed offenders have now left Marquette, it's just you with that scoop!

I'm not saying this because I think I'm a better alumni or fan, I'm saying this because there's a right and wrong way to do things.  And this was most CERTAINLY the WRONG way.

[mosarsour]

Agreed. I'm sure there there are plenty of us here who know the identities of the 4 student athletes in question, but there is nothing good that can come out of revealing any of their names publicly...especially since no charges were filed.

Let's just put this thing to rest already.



Good luck Dave wherever you end up!

uh, chicos can feel good about having the inside scoop or name dropping.  impresses me every time!

So only 2 of the 4 are still on the team now. 

I have no idea who the four are. In fact I am not sure if there were 4 people involved in the one matter or 3 people and Blue's little escapade. The statement makes me think that maybe Williams was one of them, but the other one simply could of just graduated and that is why two are gone. Either names should be mentioned or nothing should be said. The trouble with not saying who was accused is the innocent become accused also. However, the thing that is bothering me the most about this is the feeling I am getting that the less talented players are gone and the better players are allowed to stay. I do not like the double standard.

bilsu...there isn't a double standard.

I know who the four are.  All four were investigated and have been cleared.  The two that left seemingly left for basketball related reasons.  (And the only reason I say "seemingly" is because there have been no public statements as to why Singleton has left.)  The two that stayed are here and will be valuable members of the team next year.  People should stop reading more into it than that.

And this is unrelated to the Blue incident.

Enough said about this, time to move on.  He is gone, he was a walk-on.

Chicos is inferring that it's a double standard because he doesn't like Buzz and wants to portray him in a negative light. For the record, Chicos also doesn't like Juco guys and he'd prefer if MU had more "traditional" players like Wisconsin does.

The fact of the matter is that all 4 of the players were cleared and while some posters don't want to let it go because it can be twisted into being a squirmy situation for the program, most of us are willing to accept the fact that the players were cleared and we're ready to move on.

I suspect most of the students know who the four are.  Not any great secrets out there on this subject.  Surprising how many fans here either do not know or are pretending not to know.  If the MU supporters here in Chicago know who they are it is not surprising that some Marquette fans throughout the country know as well. 

[bilsu]

I graduated from MU in 1975. I have no idea what rumors or facts float around the campus.

[Clam Crowder]

It's funny how hypocritical people here are. I  make a factual statement and the flying off the handle begins again.  The heads plummet into the sand, the three monkeys of Seeing no Evil, Hearing no Evil, Speaking no Evil in full force.  Yet we all know if this happened to one of our rivals, people here would jump their crap immediately on this stuff.  Funny to watch, to say the least.   My comment was factual and considering who the other 2 players are, there is no chance in hell they will be "transferring" or doing anything busy playing for MU next season.

Chicos, alot of people know who the 4 "Accused" individuals were...the key word being accused. It is easy for you to think that two are still here because of how valuable they are to the team, but could you maybe think that just MAYBE those two were not GUILTY of doing anything but only ACCUSED. If you think that the recent departures have to do with the incident maybe you should realize that the two were GUILTY and the other two were found to have done nothing wrong. The facts of the incident were kept under wraps, but an investigation was still done by the D.A, and two people recently left the team after no speculation had ever been made that they would. Congratulations that you know the names alot of 18-21 year old kids do as well, but there is no need for you to be patting your own back, and showing off about what you know.

The best defense for the accused is to let this thread die, not repeatedly bumping it to the top.

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I heard other students talking about who was involved in the cases I just assumed it was all wild ass guesses.  I generally look to MUScoop for all the factual information I need when it comes to MU bball, and take anything I hear from others with a grain of salt.

[2TimeWarrior]

Maybe the 2 who left the team didn't want to be associated with the 4 that were accused of such a horrible thing.

God bless the mods for keeping Chicos from doing any more damage.

Thank you, mods.
