Elliott out 1st four games for disciplinary reasons, Itejere to redshirt

[Dr. Blackheart]

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

At Kansas, that's a NIL benefit.

Kentucky they just take you to the casino and tell you which seat you might want to sit at.

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.

Admirable.  Completely futile, but admirable nonetheless.

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

Can't wait to hear this when Marquette hangs 70s on garbage teams.  Let's see them score some points on high major teams before we suddenly deem this offense anything other than not good.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Also, disappointing about Greg.  Would prefer to have him as opposed to not, but he doesn't move the needle much, tbh.

[tower912]

See, I told you Greg wouldn't start under Coach Smart.

[Billy Hoyle]

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

you can. It used to be only Freshmen who could do that and still redshirt but the rule was changed a few years ago to allow everyone to play and still have the opportunity to redshirt.

[MU82]

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.

If a player is hurt, you don't say he was suspended.

From what I hear, Greg is a 5th year senior who has been acting like a 5th year senior. 

Not sure what this means.

I didn't mean to insinuate that MU would say he's suspended to hide something about him being hurt, etc. - more that he may not have played much in the beginning of the season anyway. 

It'll be interesting to see how he responds to this.  It seemed as though his playing time might take a dip this year anyway, and now that he's in the doghouse, you wonder if he can recover.

It means he's been enjoying Well Street as much as you and I did.

Shaka said in his post game press conference... "He's been practicing, been doing a really good job. And honestly if it wasn't for that (suspension) he would've been in the game and playing significant minutes."

[Uncle Rico]

My sources are sketchy but I heard he wrote a letter

Possibly, but then again he may save Marquette's ass in a few close games with hot 3pt. shooting. Plenty of concern on scoop about where our offense is going to be coming from this season. I think we our already slim chances of upsetting Illinois got a whole lot slimmer with Greg watching from the bench. And I think Shaka made it clear that Greg's being suspended was not an easy decision.

[NCMUFan]

Voluntary suspension to get the new guys more minutes.
Greg is a saint.

[panda]

Illinois suspends Cockburn so MU suspends Elliott. Even playing field once again.

[PBRme]

I think given all of the establishments that are gone from Wells it would be impossible to enjoy it as much as some of us did in the past

The death march doesn't really mean the same it used to.

I think most people thought GE did not play because he was injured. Why not let people think that instead of creating speculation about what he did.

Because he isn't injured.

Holding people accountable is important. Especially young adults still growing into young men. Lying to people is not a great message from your leader.

Haha—this is so great.

He was wearing a boot watching practice, but coaching staff said he isn't injured and then suspended four games. Very odd situation.

Was he in a boot in practice recently? He played at Haunted Hoops
