BEB reporting there is a problem with Omari signing his LOI...
BEB wrong on this one.  We have the LOI from what I'm told.

Were is KOB. . he should be able to end the chatter...
The chatter should be ended.

according to you..     if that letter was signed and in the staffs hands we would know for sure...    between both boards we have enough contacts to get an answer and no one seems to have an answer for sure...
The staff has the letter.

BEB reporting there is a problem with Omari signing his LOI...  saying Omari is refusing to sign LOI because SJU will not give "out clause" if Norm is fired at the end of the year..

The beat goes on and on and on...

You mean the same old beat goes on at BEB... .. 

People know where to look for rumors and where to look for facts.

i thought normally if the coach gets canned, the player can be released from its LOI.

Anyway it posted on scout..

It's up to the school.  They're under no obligation to releaase but many if not most get it rather than bring a discontent into the fold.

So is the story that he stalled on the LOI complete BS, or did the two parties come to an agreement?

Lawrence (or anyone) should first be required to meet the new head coach, and then have to think about it for a week before being granted a release.

All of that talk was a complete fabrication. 0% truth to it.

And yes,  after speaking to Lawrence, he said it was completely false.  In fact, he had not heard the rumor until I brought it up to him

Thanks for the link.  Reassuring article.  If Lance rounds out the third schollie, Norm deserves one more year.  A tight watch...but another year.

From my sources, the real reason for the delay was Lawrence wanted it in writing that he did not want to wear a headband 3 times smaller than his head, wear his socks up to his armpits or share the same special "relationship" that Roberts shared with the last Lawrence!

No need to pick on Geno. He's gone, and he wasn't that bad.
He would have been a lot better if we still had a football team, and he was the running back.
