The University rules and policies on this matter have all been followed, right? The legal system ran its course in this case as well.

If people didn't like that outcome, try changing those  systems through the existing processes of doing so.

Don't cry and protest because you didn't get your way. Americans look everywhere for something to be offended by and then act like giant babies if their demands aren't immediately satisfied by apologetic capitulation. To me, that's not how our democracy should work.

Those are the rules we live by, and like it or not Richmond has met his obligations. I'm not thrilled that he is on the team, but that's his right.

It's absolutely awful what happened to the victim and I do not want to diminish that one bit.

Protesting and trying to get your picture on facebook or the news as this holier-than-though martyr for the injustice of the week is disgusting.

By protesting this gives some people Meaning & purpose in their life.  They feel good about themselves because they took up an issue that they feel is important to society.  God forbid they should fix themselves before protesting whether a guy plays football or not.

Based on today's standards I would of never been eligible .   I was 16 in in 1976 and with the exception of NOT fondling an intoxicated female,I did many things that would make the snowflakes of today go nuts.  I grew up and will let a higher judge then a bunch of leftists be the judge.   Hope the same goes for Richmond.

I just got home(central Florida) from my OSU/Hubbard/YSU football weekend and suprised but not shocked at the reactions relating to Hunter Wells.  He made a terrible decision on his last throw but he made a lot of great throws to bring us back.    Without Wells we're not competitive in this game.

Side note.   Heinz field = pretty women.     Bloomington Indiana = Not so much.

Ast to TO decent.  Steals are very good.   Shooting % not so good.   He looks like he can play either guard so having a D1 senior transfer to back up Morse and Santiago is a plus.   The guy who runs the 270 web site wrote on twitter that Jaylen is eligible this season.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: the independent years

« on: August 07, 2017, 04:50:53 PM »

Thanks!  That makes sense.  Historically, it seems like such a bizarre period---to be an independent Men's basketball program...it's like "why even have a season"?  There is no hope for any kind of postseason for a school of YSU's stature.

IMO, I don't think leaving OVC destroyed the YSU MBB program. The coaches between Rice and Calhoun did that!

Agreed! We joined the Hoizon league in 2001, so Slocum can't blame leaving the OVC for his failings.

We also played in the Mid-continent conference from 1992 to 2001 prior to the Horizon.

I agree the Coach Calhoun has made the program very accessible.  Nothing to hide here and it's only summer.  Great videos,twitter news,and local newspaper updates.

Coach Calhoun and his staff have been seriously busy with a ton of offers.  Not sure if previous staffs have offered this many.   Check out the link and look at all the players offered.  It's overwhelming.

Update how Penguins are doing in summer league.
Cam Morse in 3 games 20 ppg
Devin Morgan 3 games 21.3 ppg
Tyree Robinson in 3 games 17.6 ppg
Francisco Santiago in 4 games 19.5 ppg
Naz Bohannon in 3 games  17 ppg
Braun Hartfield in 4 games 14.8 ppg
Devin Haygood in 3 games 13 ppg 18 reb in one of his games.
Noe Anibar in 4 games 11.5 ppg
Geoff hamperian in 4 games  9.5 ppg
Jeremiah Ferguson in 3 games 9.3 ppg
Garrett Covington in 3 games 7.3 ppg
Michael Akuchie in 3 games  9.7 ppg
Jacob Brown in 4 games 10.3 ppg
Alex Wilborn in 1 game 10 ppg

Not much to read into these numbers.  If anyone saw these games you can see it's a lot of run & gun and some very selfish play.
