Devoe Joseph Sucks!

[GopherJake]

I don't think Tubby recommended Devoe to get rid of him. Even though they had their disagreements, Tubby is a high-class guy and will do what is best for his coaching peers and players. I believe Tubby felt Oregon would be a good fit for Devoe and help him to learn from mistakes.

I agree. Tubby has love for his players. Tubby will always take the high road and, even if someone totally quits on him, kicking this love to the curb, spitting on everything that has been invested in this player over a period of years, countless hours of instruction, support and, at times punishment, for his own betterment, even then, Tubby will do his best to help that person out. Even if the quitting is done gutlessly in mid-season, leaving his teammates, coaches and all others invested in his selfish dust.

This is one of the reasons to revere Tubby.

Don't hold your breath with the selective responders.

lakes: no offense to him, but it's really hard to take anything he says seriously. Loves Devoe, hates Hoffarber. Not much more to add.

USDA: Has serious man-crush on Devoe. Literally only comments to defend Devoe and bash Tubby and Al (using the same arguments over and over). Very good at ignoring arguments and making terrible assessments of Devoe and Al.

Still anxiously awaiting lakes' brother's contact information and an answer from USDA Chef to a simple question. C'mon boys; man up.

I am onot disputing that Devoe may or may not have had a positive drug test that caused his suspension to start the season. It is a reasonable explanation. However, there was no second suspension for drugs. Devoe was suspended for missing practice the weekend where he announced he was going to transfer. Tubby said as much. Tubby basically said, he missed a practice but there is nothing else right now with Devoe.

I doubt seriously Devoe transferred because of drug allegations. He transferred because he wasn't enjoying the style of basketball Tubby was playing and he thought he should have been starting over Nolen. My guess is that Tubby didn't appeciate is attitude and the conflict led Devoe to leave mid-season.

Devoe would have made a difference again tonight...assuming he wasn't suspended for the chronic.
