Maymon Leaves Team!

[MrRivals150]

What the F***

Just talked to his dad with a Maymon personalized jersey on and everything and he was all ready for next year's UW matchup


WTF

[[Mu]EngiNerd]

This seems like a personal issue and not an athletic issue... I hope the kid the best and I hope he figures things out.  
We need this kid and he will be a good player...

[MUSF]

Everybody but Roseboro (a mistake) and Maymon were house cleaning...the same thing somebody else is getting credit for at IU.

yeah, definitely an apples to apples comparison.  Give me a freaking break.  One coach is facing NCAA infractions, drugs, practice no-shows.

You know what, never mind.  You are ridiculous.

Thank god somebody brought up TC. I thought this thread was only going to be about Maymon and the future of MU hoops.

Phew.

Bad week for MU bball.  I hope that he reconsiders and comes back.  The wins over Xavier and Michigan seem years ago now...

Don't forget the kid Crean begged to stay who threw a plant at him. The mental picture of the tanned one cowering as his secretary dialed 911 is too funny.

He will transfer to Tennessee and play more of the 2 and 3(which Buzz promised him in the first place).  You heard it here first!

End of the semester, really makes grades the most logical answer.

I guess the Badgers were right about his academics all along.

[larryt4]

the 2? the dude really thinks hes gonna play the 2 at TENN?

[Boone]

Maymon has delusions of grandeur if he thinks he can play the 2 and 3 @UT.

[avid1010]

The badger fan that broke this story said he was unhappy with having to play down low.  If that's the reason he left, so early in his career, then I think it's best he stays away from the program.  Not that I wasn't in favor of him coming to MU, but this form of decision making seems unstable to me.

As absolutely crappy as this is going to read, I don't know if we get Vander without Maymon on the team, and it sounds like Vander is still set on MU, so it's hard to judge Maymon's impact on MU...

[MU B2002]

First semester is a hard time for a lot of freshman.  I really hope this is something minor that got blown out of proportion.... Damn and just when i was becoming more of a glass half full fan.

BLUE IS STAYING BLUE IS STAYING

[jficke13]

if he were to xfer doing it ASAP he might qualify to play 2nd semester at his new school.

[MUSF]

Also a program where integrity and conducting yourself in a professional manner are not a prirority, see Kiffin, Lane and Pearl, Bruce.

I hope this is not true.  I really hope this kid is smart enough not to pull an ODB and bolt for selfish reasons only to miss out on a golden opportunity down the road.

If you're reading this JM, think it through.

[Rocco]

Supposedly "someone" got in his ear about not being used right, and his grades were not up to par either.

[KipsBayEagle]

It really makes no sense.  he has had plenty of playing time.  he hasn't looked good during that playing time.  he has seemed happy at least in interviews and such since he has arrived.  He will most likely lose a year of eligibility if he wanted to transfer.  he was a definite starter next year almost by default.  I doubt Buzz would have played him against madison had he had an inkling of this coming before saturday.  U really wonder what happened from Saturday night forward.

[Lennys Tap]

He gave a verbal. That is pretty worthless. Just ask Bo.

How can anyone who follows MU basketball enough to post here 735 times not know Blue signed a LOI? Stunning, but it explains a lot.

[MR.HAYWARD]

I agree if MAymon sees himself as a 3 and expects to play the 3 at a loaded team like UT he is kidding himself.  Great pickup for Ut though becuase next year when he is playing the 4 it's not like he is going to up and transfer again.  Good luck beating our tobias harris for PT

hate to see him leave, about 15% of all reshman transfer and about 95% of them consider it.  I think he would have been a really good player for Mu but its his
choice unfortunate for everyone involved

[LastWarrior]

Let's lay off all this speculation that the kid couldn't hack it in the classroom or this is a grade related issue.  Remember this is the stuff that we gave UW fans grief for when they questioned Vander's academic abilities.

We're all disappointed he's leaving but the best thing for the program and all of us is to wish him luck wherever he lands.

+1,  A damn shame after a tough loss to our in-state rival.

[Rocco]

I disagree, why do we have to wish him luck?  He screws the program after making a committment and Im supposed to wish him luck?  I hope ends up like ODB and regrets leaving for the rest of his life.

The 2?  I can't wait to see that.

[VegasWarrior77]

If Liam and Otule were playing we would not be having this thread.

A lot of freshman transfer every year.

Some are athletes, some are not.

Doesn't mean they should "regret it for the rest of their lives".
