ACE Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Once again, I echo what Willie said. thicks, wasn't Mizzou recruiting Clemons in the spring of `02, even though he had dropped out of school at his JUCO? If so, that is sleazy, IMO. By their actions, they weren't interested in this kid's well-being, his education or his future. They say him as a point guard they desparately needed. The gamble blew up in their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Roy, my dad e-mailed me this morning and wanted me to tell you that it was Chris Mills not Shawn Kemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUTGR Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 It is suprising. It seems that MU is on the crossroads. The program might either break from the pack and truly become a player on the national scene, or it might go down in the flames of NCAA sanctions. Stay tuned.

Billiken Law Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 your dad is correct. However, Kemp was involved in some of the problems at UK under Sutton - he was kicked out for stealing jewlery from Sutton's kid, Sean, who was on the team.

dave71 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 The seems to be a lot of wishful thinking that the potential of MU going on probation will cripple the basketball program. History simply doesn't support that belief. Between 1/93 and 10/01, 16 schools from major conferences committed major violations as defined by the NCAA (Louisville was charged twice). Of those 16 schools, only Baylor did not make an NCAA tournament appearance between 1998 and 2003, and only DePaul made one tourney appearance. In total, those schools made 44 NCAA appearance during the 6 years that I looked at. The conclusion seems pretty obvious to me. Probation is not the abyss that many apparently believe. All of this information is from the NCAA web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
