(debunked) Rumor: Froling Dismissed from Team

[BallBoy]

I don't remember compliance, but I remember a post from an individual in the Athletic's Communication group.

MU compliance posted when an MU alumni created a promo video for DJ Newbill and posted it to the site.   The intent was to give the community insight into a committed kid's capabilities but was a impermissible benefit.

If a family member hangs out at a board like this ... that's on them.

And as we saw when some posted what folks were saying on the Creighton board, we're relative mild here!

Count me as one that found the thread unnecessary.  My reasoning was the title.  When someone says dismissed, that implies the kid did something wrong. Words are important, and that word was not needed.  It's a message board, rumors happen, but it would have been much easier to swallow if the thread said RUMOR: Froling may not return next year.   Completely different tone, same outcome.

I hope the young man stays, but it wasn't necessary to imply he was dismissed which implied Wojo or staff were pissed at him, or the kid did something wrong (not a team player, committed a violation, or something else).


And Froling over Merritt?  Did I read that correctly?

Even though the rumor was that he was dismissed, there was little to no speculation about what it could be. People weren't saying he could be a thief or a cheater or anything along those lines. The original post was just an interesting, possibly believable, story that someone shared with Scoop. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think there was any ill will in the original post or any of the rest of the thread. This doesn't need to be inflated into something it never was.

By all means, if Harry had been accused of doing something awful that was just a rumor, sure, keep that stuff away. But this is very tame stuff here. No harm, no foul.

I think it's well implied within the rumor that he must have done something pretty bad to be kicked off the team immediately just as the team heads into tournament season (when depth is, you know, kind of important). You don't skip past a benching and/or suspension and go right to booting a kid off the team because he was late for a film session or dogged it during a rebounding drill.

People are free to disagree with me here. I just think it was a sh*tty and unnecessary post.

Wasn't good old Tim Maymon rumored to be on here too?

Common mistake.  That's just 4ever.  He's a dentist.

Here’s the thing-Harry-if you or any acquaintance or family member, cousins, step aunts and uncles, grandparents are reading this, we want you back dude.  Just relax and play your game!
