Transfers?

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Would someone please tell me, as generally and non-accusatorilly as possible, just exactly what happened with Mortensen? The whole situation was always clouded in mystery and I'm curious as to what the story was.

I don't think anybody knows, but there seems to be an inordinate number of posters who like to speculate and then include an  emoticon. Same thing with Amoroso.

could you guys imagine what that final four team would've been like if ODB (odarty blankson) hadn't transferred!? whooowee! ...i'm a dreamer, what can i say.

We would have made the final 4 and then lost to Kansas 86 - 72 vs, 94 -61

That's my point. If someone knows what was alleged, just say so. There's nothing wrong with saying what the "allegations" were, its only improper to state something as fact when there is no support to it. So it would be totally appropriate for someone to share what the allegations or rumors were about Mortensen?

The only things that can get you banned by the NCAA in the way Mortensen was are performance enhancing drugs and gambling on games in which your team played....and the rumors were that Mortensen was involved with both.

A student-athlete can be banned for betting on just about any sporting contest, not just those involving his own team. The NCAA prohibits athletes from gambling on any sporting event, pro or college, in which there is a corresponding NCAA sport, including the NCAA Tournament (i.e. bracket contests are a no-no). Playing the ponies is OK, it seems.
The punishment is loss of at least one-year eligibility for a first-time offense and a permanent loss of eligibility for a second offense.

It's possible that the reason no one's heard from Mortensen since is that he went on his two-year Mormon mission after getting bounced from Marquette.

well that would explain how he had an upperclassmen's physique as a freshman.  Ammo went out for the same reasons I believe. He was at home over one winter break because of gambling, I know that.
