Hypothetically speaking.....

[AZWarrior]

....if J-May were to realize that "he's been such a fool", and if he wants to return, should Buzz take him back?

[rocky_warrior]

I'd rather not speculate.  We might offend future potential Div I coaches.

[Freeport Warrior]

Sure, if Buzz could adopt him and he would cut off all ties to his birth father.

Don't laugh...MU84 suggested Crean become the legal guardian of recruits to avoid burning scholarships. And I'm dead serious!!

[Shack]

Absolutely not.  Can't let the inmates run the asylum.  The message is clear you quit on the team or you try to have your parents bully me into playing you because he's threatening to send you somewhere else.  You're gone.  That won't be tolerated now or in the future with anyone.  No one is bigger than the program.

No. Not a chance. There are consequences for your actions, and a consequence of bailing out on your teammates is not getting the privelege of playing for that team when you change your mind.

[AZWarrior]

I'd be OK with it, under the following circumstances:

1. Buzz is OK with it
2. A Tim Maymon isolation sphere is invented.

[Niv Berkowitz]

If J May says he wants to return
After his teammates and coach he did spurn
Will we fall on our knees?
And say pretty, pretty please?
For if we did, McGuire's grave would turn

[Golden Avalanche]

I'm of the belief that Maymon is caught in a bad spot here and is being used as a pawn by a family member. He wanted to be a Warrior in May when he committed. He wanted to be a Warrior in August when he started school. And I believe as we stand today, deep down, he wants to be a Warrior. But it ain't happening.

Give him back his scholarship...make him earn his way back on the team.  IOW, get him back in school...give him a chance to be successful.  Let him figure out what he's missing.  He needs to apologize.  Eventually get him back into practice and back into games, but not until late this year or next.

If he is truly sorry, and it was just a reaction to a tough stretch where his role wasn't what he expected...UW game didn't go well...Finals around the corner, I really wish that MU wouldn't just cut him loose.

I thought UW was Maymon's best game of the year.

Oh I agree PRN...  I just think he thought his "return home" would be more memorable.

[KipsBayEagle]

U absolutely let him back on the team.  Kids make mistakes, and when you are getting advice from certain people he is probally getting it from, you gotta cut him some slack.  I am really starting to feel bad for J May.  I had no idea how crazy this guy's dad was until all this stuff broke out.  I also don't think a better opportunity is gonna present itself to him than Marquette.  And lets face facts, we need this guy.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Letting him back on the team would be like eating your own vomit.

[Benny B]

Hypothetically, I would have accepted him back if this was a decision that was made solely by Jeronne without the consultation (read: encouragement) of his father.

However, since Mr. Maymon has already run his mouth, I would not accept Jeronne back, hypothetically or not, unless Mr. Maymon enlists for a 3-1/2 year stint in the Army and is deployed immediately.

[BuzzSucksSucks]

I haven't seen it yet, but there's this new movie Invictus. One of the reasons South Africa was able to make the post-apartheid transition to a black-majority government is because Mandela knew that forgiveness is a powerful weapon.  I wouldn't do anything without the team's blessing, but yes, I'd let him back.

[Doris Burkes Thong]

Well, Maymon is a future lottery pick(he's better than Durant or Beasley at the same age) so you gotta let him back. Oh, and Tim Maymon is also the next World Wide Wes.

This was great. Take the one that causes the problems out of the picture and you have a smart kid that knows the team already. It's just a matter of getting the team to trust him again.

[bilsu]

I would not.

The Army wouldn't take him.  Maybe the CIA would and he can use his loud mouth talking to the GITMO prisoners, that would be worse then waterboarding.

[warthog-driver]

should the team allow maymon back
it would require them cutting him slack
the father you know
is part of that show
and truly a disruptive quack

[Brewtown Andy]

Only if Lazar gets a free punch because of this "waah waaah out of position" nonsense.

Great. Let a one way maverick endanger the lives of young soldiers. Keep some perspective, please. No way can an idiot like that be allowed into a combat situation.

I didn't say U.S. Army.
