Bios deleted from the roster. Usually a sign of something not positive.

If the university issues a formal statement advising they are no longer on the team, then why keep their biographies on the roster website. 

"Sign of something not positive"?  Yeah, they were dismissed, no signs.

Difference in terms of what?  Is Fox going to give us a larger TV contract? Georgetown is still something but St Johns hasn't been relevant for decades.

And even so, I'm not sure that difference rises to the lev of "really important."

Agree on the contract.  I still run into people who don't even know Creighton is in the Big East.  Not everyone follows college b-ball as close to people who post on this board.  A lot of groupthink doesn't mean that is what the rest of the country thinks.  It is a perception thing.

What turmoil is going on at St. John's, besides lucking into a really good coach after a pretty disastrous coaching search last spring?

Yeah that they had to start over again.

That's SOP whenever anyone leaves a team.

Georgetown has a Scoop and it's a lot like ours.  The world is ending, coach's fault, we should be great like the 1980's again, etc, etc.

When I first read the title, I thought it said Akanno transferring.  Whew.

So did I!

Is it SOP to have two athletes have an emergency preliminary injunction and restraining order placed against them by another Georgetown student?

Conjecture?  Proof, please.  Big accusation.

Ok, then.

It's actually in the thread, page 5.  DC Court Temporary Restraining Order against LeBlanc and Galen Alexander, copy included. Why Alexander not dismissed and why Akingo leaving is the question.  Maybe the TRO was another issue and not the actual reason for the players leaving the team.

It's pretty muddied at the moment and a lot of conjecture.  It does illustrate the difficulty all programs have with roster construction and untimely departures, for whatever reason

I wouldn't have posted if it it wasn't public record and posted elsewhere. No idea what it is in reference to.

I also did not originally post the link, because the court order had the other students name in it. I don't like that it was posted publicly in that form as it does a disservice to the other student. The updated link others have now posted has the other students name redacted.

Thank you all.   I have seen it

looked it up. Plauntiff is alleging leblanc committed burglary and then threatened bodily harm. No cases on Akinjo, so not sure why he was dismissed

[Warrior Code]

FWIW, the twitterverse doesn't think very highly of Marquette as "job." Only a couple people mentioned it in the replies. Nova, Butler, and Xavier seem to have the best response rate for the BE in this extremely unscientific poll.

Just for background and FYI,  Galen Alexander signed with LSU and was dismissed by them for disciplinary reasons. He was also recruited and offered by MU.  Played AAU ball with Leblanc in Louisiana.

Let's see what the actual reason for Akingo and Leblanc leaving are and whether the TRO against Alexander raises issues with the Georgetown hierarchy.

...and don't believe the b.s. headlines you'll see about 'resurgent Georgetown' and how this changed everything for their rapid upward trajectory. They were not a good team and are not a good team.

Yes, Katz had them as his preseason #18 - and should be institutionalized for such nonsense.

Heading into today before this news, KenPom had Georgetown projected to finish 9th in the BEast, ahead of only St. John's, which was reasonable.

Bad defensive team that can't shoot.

My *guess* is that there are similar issues and evidence has yet to become public.

To be fair. The complaint alleges that Leblanc and "his friends" committed burglary, and then Leblanc threatened "bodily harm" that is documented in text messages.

It doesn't specify who "his friends" were, and you are right, no mention of Akinjo anywhere, but Alexander is mentioned by name. A lot of oddities at the moment.

I will not speculate at this time.

Ummm I see quite a few Marquette mentions.

[Galway Eagle]

This is interesting. So they have three players mentioned with legal issues and another who just decided to transfer on a whim? 🤔 me thinks there's something more to come on akinjo
