Harrison suspended rest of the year

Quote from: Beamer04 on March 01, 2013, 10:21:45 AM

According to many here...he was a first round pick. 

Not sure about that.  Most just thought he wouldn't last because he can play in Europe and make more than most 4 yr college graduates.  I don't recall many or any people touting him as a 1st rd pick.

Lavin has to shoulder a lot of blame here.  Lavin to some extend put DLo on a pedestal:
1. Naming him captain
2. Gave him the "Emerald Green Light"
3. Called him our "leader"

The kid's head must've blown up.  All this made him think he was bigger than the team. And it was no secret coming into this season that DLo was volatile, so why classify him as all the above? Did Lavin really think that just being a leading scorer makes you a leader?

I love DLo, and hope he comes back, but this is a two-way street here.

+1. Lavin took our best freshman in a long while and turned him into a useless player. If that's not on the coach who's it on.

NO he took our best freshman and turned him into BE rookie of the year and NBA first round pick

Dude Norm Roberts isn't coming back.

Many would say Dunlap did.

Many said Dunlap ran off Nuri   

there was some dissapointment in Dee's lack of commitment to transform his body.-

Transformed into what? Does anyone understand that?

If things were that bad we might get more out of Marco, Balamou and Branch collectively then what a disgruntled Harrison was giving us anyway.

What are the odds on that.

Moose he has been useless the last 2- 3 games. Maybe it gives Marco a confidence boost knowing that pt is available. Who knows. It just seems that we can't enjoy any good news without something happening.

No argument there.  He has been.  Doesn't make it so surprising.  But I just don't think him being gone will magically make Marco quicker, or Phil become lights out or Felix to pull the splinters out.

I say there is as much a chance of him coming back as you posting something interesting.

Very frustrating.

I'm not D'Angelo's biggest supporter and I have no idea what he's done to get this suspension, but the timing couldn't suck more. Although his game hasn't looked good in the second half of this season, we still have a shot at the NCAA, and he is our best scorer.

I do respect Lavin for this decision. There has to be accountability, and he's not going to be walked over.

Disappointed to lose Harrison and must say the constant ups and downs of this regime are disconcerting. I support Lavin and staff, but when do we achieve a reasonable level of stability?

Roll over, ask joe3 to start a Lavin meter on Big East Boards and you'll get your answer!

See up until this dolt started posting I actually liked Maine. I enjoy Lobster and Stephen King. Never new they had a football team though or that some goofball would actually think people would be impressed that someone was a QB for Maine. Unless it was HS football which just makes it even more sad.
