JJJ...

[amen426]

So the whispers about JJJ's grades were inaccurate?  If the rumors were false Buzz deserved even more criticism for not playing him.  Hopefully WOJ can convince JJJ to stay his upside his tremendous.

In Hunt's article, he states "Johnson said he needed to speak to his mother and make sure his grades were in order before deciding whether to return."

So apparently the grades comments were completely untrue.. Or Hunt is just completely off base.. Link below

Grown ups forgive and forget... children hold grudges forever and can't grasp when people choose to let things go.  Which one do you think you're acting like right now? 

Sorry Pal, your carte blanke statement that grown ups forgive and forget reeks of condescension. BTW, have you forgotten your remarks to Melissa? They were real mature.

And I will not forget the phony BS manure that Buzz spread. I am glad however that you have.

I didn't follow the whole thread, but this quote made me chuckle.  It is essentially the opposite of what I witness in the world.  Children are resilient and remarkably adjustable.  So called "grown ups" are experts at holding grudges.

Per Mike Hunt, JJJ apparently said said he needed to speak to his mother and make sure his grades were in order before deciding whether to return.

Sounds like he's gone to me.  If your grades aren't in order you can always take summer school courses to beef up your GPA or retake classes.

I didn't take it that way.  I'm thinking he had a very disappointing experience this past year and was considering heading for the door if Curly was still coach, so the talk was likely to happen anyway.

With a new coach, it's still a talk he needs to have but, in my opinion, if he likes the new coach he might be more likely to stay at MU.  And he's got plenty of time to gets things squared away for summer school - it's only April - if he decides to stay.

Dont know how you get that hes gone from his GPA...

It's a MUScopers prerogative to jump to unfounded conclusions...

He said he had to make sure his grades were in order.  That can only mean he's having difficulty with classes and that there must be some issue with his gpa.  For example, last semester he may have gotten below a 2.0.  If he gets below that, this semester, he's violated academic probation and could be ineligible to play. 

What else would "make sure grades are in order" mean?

Yet he did play this semester so he wasnt ineligible. He could be having a hard time but that doesnt mean hes ineligible. They have tutors for days in the AL. He will be in good hands for the rest of the semester.

I'm not saying he's ineligible right now.  In order to be ineligible, you have to have 2 consecutive semesters of below 2.0 gpa (usually...depends on the school but this quite typical).  What I'm saying is that last semester, he could have gotten below a 2.0.  If he gets below a 2.0 again (this semester).... then he's in trouble.  It might be a credit issue as well.  Sometimes athletes only take 12 credits a semester during the school year to lessen the workload during athletics.  15 is a normal load, so they usually make up the 6 credits during summer.  There comes a point, where if you don't have enough credits to be a sophomore, and you're in your 2nd year at the school, you can be put on probation as well if you are involved in athletics.

I used to have roommates that played collegiate football and wrestling so I got to see first hand how academics were juggled.  Typically, if there are issues with grades, then it is GPA.  Total # of credits related to class standing is much less common of an infraction. 

Nonetheless, this was a different school than MU, so the rules might change a bit there, but they're usually within the same ballpark.

Or it could be a 19 year old kid speaking off the top of his head and everyone here is way over analyzing this.

[Spotcheck Billy]

and to be honest, M Hunt didn't put his words in quotes but only paraphrased them (is that the right term?), that's why I just copied/pasted from his article

What remaks to Melissa? You mean being the first guy to call out stonecold for his calling her the C-word?  You're right I must be terrible! Don't try to lump me in with that awful person for your own twisted sense of righteousness

And I will back up my old RA any day for his beliefs in this Buzz Williams matter.  You on the other hand won't let it go and accept that others have a belief different than yours.

I think JJJ has a big upside, I hope Wojo can keep him.

I do too. It is simply mind boggling how Bert managed the team last year. That guy needs help.

Just tweeted "I'm all in."

Hopefully that is in regards to MU.

So how does grades = he is gone.  If he were to become ineligible when he transfers then he would have to sit and have to get his grades up.  he can also not use any exception to play right away.

You are using the phrase, "managed the team' liberally in Brent/Bert/Britt/Buzzard's case last year.

I'd take it that way. Unless he is playing poker and live blogging the game via Twitter.

You can go to prison for writing things like that......  Just like Buzz, Mike Hunt, and Thunder.
