Yikes.....Sounds like he has had character issues previous to this.  This had to have been on Buzz's radar.  Not sure what happens from here, but not good at all

Well, I guess Buzz won't be oversigning then...

Not a good development. I wouldn't pull the scholarship yet, but if I was buzz at madness I'd want to have a long sit down. If Harris is planning on making the trip. The troubling part is that it is second year in a row.

Make him wait until spring to sign.  Find a new school to play the season, have no issues in the classroom or with the team there first.

Not necessarily. Depends on the severity. This being the second suspension doesn't look good, but if it's for getting caught drinking at a party or smoking weed, this is not the end.

Herm Edwards used to say you can have some character-problem guys, but not too many. 5 was the max for football he'd say, because you'd have to have a guy or two who's job would be to look out for him and keep him on a straight line. No program is a team full of angels.

I'd prefer Buzz and MU not take this approach when recruiting.

I'd prefer not making life-changing decisions on people I don't know. No (good) team is full of a bunch of boy scouts.

I dont think you pull the plug yet. My dad coaches High School basketball for a pretty successful program in Illinois and this happens all the time. It could be something as small as grades or more severe violations but dont expect to find out what happened. Its always hushed up.

I would agree. Improper behavior must have consequences; and might be the only way for this kid to straighten up.

Christ guys, cut the kid some slack. Hes a 17 year old KID. People make mistakes. I dont see how it hurts keeping him around. Youre not going to find a more talented player this late in the recruiting game hopefully he can learn from whatever mistake he made.

Grades are no small matter. In fact they should be a primary factor that matters.

I mean, if its grades (I dont think it is its probably a 3rd strike kind of thing) you know MU has tutors for all of these kids and so much help for them.

I would say give the guy a chance, but there have been recent past problems at MU, so I think his misbehavior combined with the prior misbehaviors at MU results in Harris not getting a scholarship at MU.

Maybe his school is different but when I was at Racine Horlick, it would have to be something pretty severe to get suspended the whole season. This seems like a long suspension for weed, party or small grade problem

The story says he has been suspended for the season "according to multiple sources."  So nothing official.

Would anyone be surprised if that "season long" suspension ends around thanksgiving?  If so, then the school will say the Sun-Times had it wrong and move on.

Amazing how people can make a judgement without knowing the facts.


Buzz will talk to the kid and his coach and decide if Malek should be given another chance .....

Partys and even just posession drugs are actually pretty severe for the IHSA and team policy.
