Definitely will be something to watch. Want to hear both sides to this one, not going to jump to conclusions either way.
Motive: He could use claim to gain immediate transfer eligibility.
what a terrible angle for the js to take.
Wisconsin gonna Wisconsin.
Cmon man, you have no idea what was going down in MadisonThe racism angle worked beautifully for Justin Fields. Looks like King is simply borrowing from a playbook that's a proven winner for immediate eligibility.
Based on the UW-Basketball Strength Coach being put on Administrative Leave, hard to not jump to a conclusion.
This would also justify explain of the twitter support of other recent Badger transfers.
The Badgers looked played in such a funk last night, it was as though they knew the news was about to drop. I know that sounds like I am taking away from the Gophers performance, but looking at their bench there was zero fight in them from the mid-way point of the first half.

Or maybe he's telling the truth and people shouldn't have to put up with that BS.
I would imagine if it weren't true he could have played the season and alleged it at the end of the season. Clearly playing on the team was unbearable for him. Racism is everywhere and I kinda resent you accusing King of suggesting that he is making this up. And considering they put a staff member on administrative leave, there is evidence that it is true.The racism angle worked beautifully for Justin Fields.

The appropriate response from the coach would be: We don't tolerate racism. It is not acceptable anywhere on this campus or in this program. There will be an investigation and if allegations turn out to be true, we will take appropriate actions.
Instead he says basically nothing. His team is almost entirely white. What's going on in Madison?
Paul C commented re: Cepheus? Oh okI have to think the UW legal counsel strictly prohibits Gard for saying anything, regardless of how he intends the comments. How this ultimately reflects on Gard is what did he know, when did he know, what did he do about it or who did he it report to?
Whether or not it matters the strength coach was a Bo Ryan hire.
U mean like when

I'm not buying that it was the strength coach. Leaving the program that you have been with for three years and committed the coach who recruited you while leaving this late in the season? In my opinion, it would take someone higher up in the program to leave a program this late in the season.

Agree with much of this. Remember though, we brought very shady characters here and yes it was known those kids had bad ethics. People on the recruiting trail knew, our coach knew. Even Pitino likes Brad.Frankly, this emerging issue gives some clues to Gard's response to the suspension of Davison. It just did not make sense to me that he would go so far out on a limb to defend BD. While BuiltB said this is just what Pitino would do, that never resonated with me. More in Pitino's character would be a recognition that these are kids who can get carried away by their own competitive drives. "He's learning and we'll be guiding him" is more Pitino's style, not the dramatic, "Ive known him for so long..."
Now I get a sense that Gard wasn't really defending Davison, he was defending himself and his program. This makes his behavior more understandable but not any more admirable.

What did the people on the recruiting trail know?Agree with much of this. Remember though, we brought very shady characters here and yes it was known those kids had bad ethics. People on the recruiting trail knew, our coach knew. Even Pitino likes Brad.
They knew of trouble with Lofton, Lynch, Mcneil, Morris. People knew of severe academic issues, behavior, violence. You talked to coaches, counselors there was trouble.What did the people on the recruiting trail know?
No, but you automatically threw out that he made it up... sometimes what first comes into your mind reflects your belief.Why would you resent that? You're acting like people haven't made it up for their benefit several times. Like I said earlier, I have no idea what happened but resenting either position without knowing any facts is bizarre.
Badger cant help himself protect the lil feller......Agree with much of this. Remember though, we brought very shady characters here and yes it was known those kids had bad ethics. People on the recruiting trail knew, our coach knew. Even Pitino likes Brad.
