Ollie Speaks

The emphasis on Ollie's quote is mine, but it makes me wonder if academics had something to do with one or more of our player losses, and even more important, are any of them leaving in lousy academic standing that will hurt us down the road.

"We have great core of high-character student-athletes committed to the program who are successful on basketball court, in classroom."

He is taught to say that by the administration, just like almost every D1A coach. That is politics 101. Especially with the issues we had with the postseason ban.

Gonna go out on a limb and say academics has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Pudge I have thought the same thing about the ex.

Yeah, that's the year when everything started on a downward trend. KO was zombie like on the bench that year. Its anyone's guess as to the toll it has had on the program.
