  • It was a long shot to get Bennet eligible.  Hard to believe Watson was eligible at Wake and is not here.  In long run our NCAA shot was going to come via CUSA tourney...by then Watson will have played entire conf schedule.

    Government is the most dangerous institution known to man. Throughout history it has violated the rights of men more than any individual or group of individuals could do: it has killed people, enslaved them, sent them to forced labor and concentration camps, and regularly robbed and pillaged them of the fruits of their expended labor. ~ JOHN HOSPERS

  • I'm trying to look at the bright side. West and others will get that much more playing time until Watson gets back. At least Bennett can practice 2nd semester from what I hear. That will be good for him and marshall. Also George will see plenty of time. I'm ready for practice.

  • And I agree. What was Watson doing last year while he sat out. Personaly, they shouldn't be able to play and I don't feel a bit sorry for him. It's pathetic!!!! Like DD said, "I'm not going to baby sit them"

  • This may be one of those Pennington moments for George . He wasnt expecting to play but once he did , he never looked back.

    Would really be "huge" if he diligently worked on getting in tip-top shape for the 2018-19 season, and come in around 280# or so, but well under 300#, IMO.

  • I'm hearing Waston's academic ineligibility may not be on him and may be on the compliance team at Marshall making an oversite in his scheduling.

    Well, he, and they, have had a whole academic year plus this summer to work on whatever academic issues/problems he had.  Unless he came out of WF on academic probation, under some academic cloud, on the verge of flunking out, etc., etc., that we never heard anything about.  Otherwise, could it be another example of MU's trying to do something "on the cheap", athletically and/or academically?  You know, another version of Kayo M.'s "Slow nickel" mentality!

    If true it is not the first time.  I believe the same happened to a FB player in last year or two that cost a kid some games

    Also read some info with that might be the situation. If so, ugh!!

    We lost some personnel in the Buck Harless - Student help center. I think the leader and ??

    This is the cost for loss of dedicated experienced personnel.

    If the rumors are true, shame on us.

    yeah, darn dr gilbert for not focusing on a single individual's schedule.

    I'm hearing Waston's academic ineligibility may not be on him and may be on the compliance team at Marshall making an oversite in his scheduling.

    as others pointed out, not on compliance. compliance has nothing to do with oversight of an student athlete's scheduling. that'd be the buck harless center.

    Just plain sad. Many times, our beloved MU is it's own worst enemy.

  • The Herald Dispatch today said Bennett could practice the 2nd semester. Herdmeister may know more also. And if this was not the fault of Watson, then shame on someone at Marshall. They just caused a kid to lose half his season. But like someone said. This may be a huge moment for George. It will get him more than ready for next year along with Bennett being able to practice. There is always a bright side.

  • We are several years into DD being our coach....it is not a wait till next year scenario.  It is time for no excuses and this team needs to win.  Much easier to find 5 guys then to find 50 guys like football has to.

    I totally agree with you. Being able to practice come mid December will be HUGE for the next year. Plus the fact that he can be on scholarship and still have 4 years to play beginning in 18-19

  • I could personally NEVER blame someone other than the kid themselves for them not being eligible, never.  Come on folks, where is the accountability.  It's seems it's always "someone screwed up".  Well, how about the individual did not take enough care of their own condition to ensure all was in order.

    i don't know that this is the case with rondale, but indiana's top football recruit is ineligible because indiana's compliance office told him what he needed to take his senior year of high school to be eligible at iu as a freshman. he took that schedule, passed, but it was wrong so he was ruled ineligible by the ncaa.
