U RELEASE: No Change in Mbakwe Playing Status According to Maturi, Smith

Donate To GopherHole

I'm glad I waited until the end of the day to read the Board. I was able to skip all of the back and forth and just get the conclusion.
 

Glad that's settled.

After reading what he wrote, it would've been brutal to suspend him for that. It actually seemed to be a pretty thoughtful message.
 

That seems like a pretty harmless message to me. Sounds almost sad, kind of feel for the guy...

Hopefully he continues to only take his aggression out on the rim.
 

Great news!

Does this also mean that he didn't violate his pre-trial intervention program or is that still something to worry about?

This is Gopher basketball. Worrying never stops. :)
 


"Well idk if u will respond or not"

Well...I guess we found out that part of it.
Let's move forward.
 

So what was the obnoxious tweet Mbakwe sent a short time ago? (According to Barreiro)

Frankly, I have no idea why they're letting him say anything...but whatever.

Note to self: never, ever, ever, ever, write anything on the internet that I wouldn't say out loud.

Trevor sounds like a wonderful young man.

Is that supposed to be sarcastic?

It seems like he's doing a fine job keeping his life in line since the incident in Miami. I'll believe that unless proven otherwise.
 

1. Sometimes it's best to lay low.

2. Gaard said there was one other Tweet that had been deleted that poked the ex about getting more tips at her waitress job.

Trevor, have you learned nothing from Royce White? SHUT-UP! Now.
 

Apparently he also said, @gophers32: "U might earn some more tips from your waitress job," but it's gone now.
 

Glad he isn't suspended. That was a pretty thoughtful message to be honest.

Not if there is a restraining order on you. No contact means no contact. It's really not that difficult to understand.

Someone said that to him, or he said it? Cause the way that's written, somebody wrote that to him.

But in any event, leave the past in the past Trevor, obviously she ain't ready to move on, but you need to.

He said it (apparently), I fixed the misleading quotation mark.

I think it's already been said he thought that was done Jan 1, not that it's a good excuse, but makes sense considering the content of the message.

Seems like something you should double-check before potentially violating it.

I think that really goes without saying. No one is questioning the guy did a dumb thing. It should have never happened. The question is whether it was something worthy of a suspension. Maturi and Tubby decided against it, and I personally agree. He's being ripped throughout the media anyway, that's a good form of punishment right there. But I just don't see it as something I'm gonna immediately suspend a kid for.

That said, this isn't the end of it, I'm guessing. So as more develops, perhaps the position changes. As things are at the moment, I just didn't see this as something that worthy of a suspension.
 

Gee, so what about all of those posts about Maturi before people even knew what he was going to do? Didn't think initial idiocy to the Kill hire would ever be beaten for hysteria, but today topped it. Maybe it was the eloquent emails to him.
 

Trevor has a right to free speech, but I think a social media suspension of at least a few weeks would be in line if I were in Tubby's shoes. Nothing good can come from it right now.
 

His Twitter account is no longer up (says the account has been suspended). Probably a smart move.
 

Glad this is hopefully over, more importantly for Trevor and his family. Hopefully, the ex-gf can move on with her life, also.


Tubby - rather than not starting Trevor to teach him a lesson, make him play the whole game. He will be exhausted. :rolleyes:
