Dawson Garcia returning

[bmb5270]

Playing 3 years for Ben Johnson?

Post of the year material there.

I’m pretty sure this guy is trolling. As indicated, he’s out of eligibility. More practically, he’s not committing to come back without some spokeals.

You're probably right. I guess I don't expect people to do that for no reason. Another reminder that no matter how low I rate humanity, it sometimes isn't low enough.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Did see something about Rigsby potential having more eligibility. Can't remember where. Anybody else see that or was that a bad source?

That's because he did his first year at a JUCO and they've already let athletes (at least one anyway) ignore that year.

He played JUCO before Oregon, so I think there's a possibility

 

[minnyrules11]

For???

His parent was sick and moved closer to be by them and didn’t finish the year when North Carolina played for the title?

 

[Big Dawg]

Magic Johnson didn't use up his eligibility. He loves the MN winters so he's going to be a Gopher in the fall. You heard it here first. "Hey, is that bigfoot?"

You joke, but Bobby Jackson played two years at a Juco....Humpries and Pryzbilla have some left too.

If we are being serious, I almost wouldn't want Garcia back. Loved having him and am looking forward to seeing where his career takes him. I'm ready to cut ties and move to the next chapter for Gophers basketball.

A lobbed pitch the size of a beach ball. Well done!

He's a top 10 player in the B1G. It's not like he's a locker room problem or something. Of course you would take another year from him. Any coach would.

I’ve actually heard the opposite. He’s a total locker room cancer. He needs to be gone.

I’m trolling. Just like the OP. I feel like OP was poking fun at the Medved steam and wanted to create his own rumor (that he felt was egregious).

Would love me one more year of DG!

 

[GopherGold01]

I don't think he is trolling.

Dawson back as player coach ala Jackie Moon confirmed

He played way over the limit of season lol.

People can talk all day on the legitimacy of him quitting on that season, but either way there's zero rule in place that gives him an extra year

I completely agree, I can't even squint at the rules and see an argument where he could possibly be granted another year of eligibility.

So I'd say it's 50/50.

Rock solid movie

 

[Gilthorp57]

Who does he think he is Brad Davidson?

Brian Cardinal lol

 

[Bad Gopher]

Brian Cardinal lol

Evan Eschmeyer

 

[Dave H]

Jess Settles!

 

[Gimli’s Beard]

Makes no sense. If some bolt from heaven gave Garcia an extra year, he could command probably $2 million somewhere like Coleman did when transferred from Illinois to Kansas State. Either way, Garcia’s not putting on the maroon and gold again.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Jess Settles!

We don’t have to go hunting for examples……

Parker Fox FTW

 

[JZABR]

Evan Eschmeyer

Jeff Hagen!

The Gophers applied the franchise tag.

Update. This from a very, very reliable source:

There was a meeting which included the team, coaches, Coyle.
Shortly after the meeting started, Garcia stood up, handed the ball he was holding to a student manager, then walked quietly to the front and told Coyle that he had something to say. Coyle told him he better say what he had to say. Garcia faced the room and said he reckoned it was time for him to start playing ball for a 6th year. However there was just one thing, "Coach stays, I play. Coach goes, I go!"
Pandemonium! Bedlam!
Coyle tried to quiet the room.
Then suddenly someone called for a re-vote.
Realizing he was the only voter, Coyle ripped up his prepared speech and announced, "COACH STAYS."

Ben is back!

 

[PeterMac05]

well, OP here, I don’t care at all if you guys believe me, but yeah Dawson’s coming back. No argument about it, no trolling.

 

[Rocksoldier]

Parker Fox is also returning under a waiver for employing Senior Citizens.

Don’t be a dick

I believe you could have an another yesr

 

[Rocksoldier]

Brian Cardinal lol

But he looked 55 when he played

 

[GopherOhana]

wouldn't surprise me if there's a court challenge to the NCAA's eligibility rules, seeking unlimited eligibility. if a player can make good money staying in school and playing, courts might rule denying someone an income out of bounds
