Hm.

[MuggsyB]

Ughhh.  Why???  Very disappointed in GE.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Wow. That's a lot. Very surprising to hear.

Apparently he punched coach smart in the balls on a screen in practice, he was attempting to show him how Brad Davison plays.

That reads like underage drinking if he wasn’t obviously of age. Maybe a bit of the devils lettuce?

He bet the over on Marquette scoring 50 points against BS.

Shaka laying down the law

[WarriorFan]

He used a 4 letter word:

Wojo

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It's interesting because he had Greg rep the team at the coach's luncheon yesterday (with Morsell). Would seem odd to have him suspended but allowed to do an event like that, maybe a recent lapse in judgement?

He keyed the MU court!?!?

[Dr. Blackheart]

He keyed the MU court!?!?

Refused to flush for Shaka after the coaching staff burst their Real Chili cherries today?

[We R Final Four]

I will say that GE was yucking it up tonight and certainly did not seem down about anything….for whatever that’s worth.

[MU82]

Weird.

Hopefully he just said something that required coaches discipline.  I’ve always got draymond green kinda vibes from him, he says what he’s thinking and he’s funny. 

All anybody can do now is speculate and hopefully Greg’s given the benefit of the doubt.  But obviously I have no idea what’s going on either. 

Also in no way did I think TAMU was insinuating the worst or encouraging speculation, even though I quoted him.  As a lurker of this board, in my opinion, TAMU is easily Top 3 of posters by quality, probably higher.  I’m just trying to preemptively stop an embarrassing rabbit hole of scoop trying to guess what happened.

Better lower the projected MU scoring totals to the 40's now....

Ha!  I like the crusade you are on.

4 games is quite a lot for just saying something

[lawdog77]

Apparently he got "immunized" and not vaccinated.


Too soon?

[wadesworld]

Can you not play in exhibition games if you are planning on redshirting?

[Skip Intro]

Yeah, unless Shaka is the hardest of hard-asses, I can't imagine it's a case of mouthing off / argument with teammate during practice / etc. 

Didn't some say that he appeared to be playing hurt during the recent open scrimmage?  I wonder if he'd have been shut down for the first few games of the season anyway. 

[Shooter McGavin]

According to the JS article he would ha e played a ton last night and had been practicing at a high level.  Good article.

[Skatastrophy]

We need to remove the ATM from the Union, it's been getting our guys suspended for years now.

[The Lens]

From what I hear, Greg is a 5th year senior who has been acting like a 5th year senior.  Shaka don't play.
