So talked to a friend of mine who works there.

Its really bad.

I assumed as much for a mid season removal from the team. No thanks. We do not need that.

If it’s weed let’s not act like he killed someone...

It doesn’t sound like it’s weed, based on the vague posts.

 

[Towney007]

It’s not weed.

 

[StingLykOllie]

There’s some speculation on a reddit thread about it. Seems pretty terrible.

 

[willie99]

My gut tells me it's something ugly, although they haven't been expelled and that's a mitigating factor

 

[80shusky]

Nope. If players with their talent are getting kicked out there's a reason. UConn doesn't need that reason on their roster.

That's too bad. Ewing seems like a pretty good dude and deserves better. To have your season or multiple seasons blow up because of a couple knuckleheads is pretty terrible.

No way this is weed. Sounds criminal though.

His aunt Rachel J just tweeted saying he isn't in trouble at all

There’s a shock. He just got kicked off the team for no reason at all right??

Even if it's nothing which it's not, we don't want the kid. Some of you are still shook from the Ollie years, that ain't how you run a program. Hurley is building this into something great, you don't do that this way.

 

[5rings]

Possible alleged harassment according to reddit.

 

[Stainmaster]

Come on, I thought we agreed on no more “Ollie Guys” . . .

 

[nadavtheman]

Wow. That’s big to lose two players mid season. Wonder what happened?

Just speculating, but since it's two guys, maybe they were involved in some type of incident and Gtown just getting in front of it

 

[Leebo]

So a "you can't fire me I quit" situation?

 

[Stainmaster]

By “this way,” do you mean transfers in general or taking second chances on kids with possible disciplinary issues? I think Hurley disagrees with you on the former.

According to reddit it’s more than what’s been speculated. Which is incredible

Even drugs probably isn't getting you kicked off a team seven games in unless you're dealing hard stuff. Especially when you'r the star player. There's only one thing I can think of that would be immediate termination.

 

[nadavtheman]

Mal, Carey, Akinjo, a lot of guys that we wanted that didn't end up here, probably for the better

It's funny how that works

 

[Scoe]

My first reaction is no way in hell, can't let his problems become our problem, he didnt wanna be here in the first place so we move on and get kids who wanna be here, lets let the facts play out though.
