How many players has Marlin run off since he has been here?

It started with JJ Thomas and I remember a few others since then...

I wonder if this is something that is common among other NCAA basketball programs?

It is common for players to leave programs, but not at the rate that we lose them.

There was the first mass exodus that included JJ, Raymone, Colby, Kentwan, and maybe a few others. And we lost JJ's brother's (Pancake) commitment at the same time. Those are the ones I remember as they had the most playing time and potential for playing time in the following season. After that though, I don't recall Marlin ever having large groups of players leaving. There have been those 1 or 2 fringe players lost every year due to scholarships, like Kande last year, but I don't recall anything close to that first mass exodus.

Outside of losing all of those players at once, which happened 5 years ago, I don't think our attrition since then due to factors other than graduation has been that abnormal.

Dont know much about the JJ situation but didn't he wanna play football and that didn't work out? I'm asking, not telling

Marlin was 100% correct putting Hedge off the team this year. If Hedge wants a release, what is Marlin suppose to do? Say no?

I was high on Hedge before the season started. Hedge let us down.

Maybe it was bc of the others that left when JJ did it seems as though there were more than actual.

I don't know what went down to merit the suspension, but his play on the court was solid. Statistics wise he was maybe the most well rounded player on the team.

No doubt.

He broke a team rule and got himself suspended for half the year. But even before that happened, he wasn't performing well at all. Now we'll have an extra scholarship to give to someone who can hopefully contribute more to this team's success.

With that said, best of luck to you Hedge. I hope you can land on your feet somewhere and finish your college career on a better note.

You must be looking at the wrong stats.

4.8 ppg
.395 fg
.207 3fg
2.7 reb.

Does anyone know exactly what team rule was broken? I've heard stuff about him getting into it with Coach, but that's just hearsay.
