Athlete (2001-2003) Michael Southall

"I am really disappointed that he is welcomed back. It is like our Men's basketball program is in a desperate situation. If we need players with Troubled past to play on our team,then count me out for season tickets. I don't support programs that use potential problem children. This is the harshest statement I have ever made about Michael, I don't think this is a sound decision by the men's b'ball coaches and it may just back fire on them."


Well if u dont support a program who brings in troubled players why have u been supporting the team for the last 7 years since the Evans ERA. Then if not our program,which program will u support, a program that buys there players???????

How many times will everyone say, "He's learned his lesson. He's done what he's needed to do." Just remember, we've been through this before. I hope everyone doesn't get their hopes up too high. Everyone was looking forward to him at the start of the 2003-2004 season and what happened? Ineligible. What happened the next season when he was supposed to be back? He was in frickin jail. I'm not sold on all this "If Coach Lee thinks he's ready, then I'll welcome him back." I thought we learned our lesson when Jessie left for USF. I thought Coach Lee laid down the law. Looks like Coach Lee is looking for some W's, instead of doing what's right.

See you at the game

I remember him talking about his unhappiness with the discipline of the team, (Southall/Williams/Boyd). He can return to UL, but he didn't necessarily have to return to the team. Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing him develop and Southall as well (if I have to). I hope this doesn't bite Coach Lee in the butt...

Did you yourself talk to Cris C about the discipline of boyd williams an southhall. if so what would cris have to say about boyds discipline, if i recall i dont think boyd was ever ineligible or caught with drugs or ever ever ever ever failed a drug test........................

I'll NEVER welcome back Southall to this team. He has screwed multiple times in his college career. Him coming back to the basketball program would be just as much a black eye for the university as the 1970s Death Penalty for the program.

Dont let me catch u at the game yelling when southalls blocking shots and thunder dunking on fools...

My son was unable to make Brads camp, and Brad offered to do private one on one instruction. He is trying to give back to his community. Yes he is also trying to make some extra money but at the same time he is doing the right thing for the young ones in that he is trying to teach the CORRECT way to shoot the ball!!

I am proud of Brad Boyd!!!!

I thought we got rid of the guy who brought in those troubled players. When Jessie left, everyone began to believe that the new coach would start disciplining the players more. Now it seems as though that hey, if you go to jail for a year, you're still welcomed back to the program. This is a joke.

Coach Lee is falling down the same path Jessie went down.

I spoke to him at the gym after a class and his biggest complaint was the lack of discipline and evans not using him properly. He did not name Boyd specifically, but he implied problems with players getting high before games. No names given. My comments on Boyd are from people specifically with him through the season who told me what they saw (These are people I trust.) I have to admit that I was never a fan of Brad's play; I thought he was a quick trigger and was aiming for an individual scoring total rather than making a better team play. (When he was on, he was fun to watch...)

I'm done knocking the guys...I'm just going to patiently wait for the season to start, buy my tickets, and heckle the hell out of the visiting team.
