Butler Red/White trip with the team

Because big time schools tried to backdoor us. You would not believe the "integrity" of college basketball. Two top ten schools had direct/indirect contact with
him and tried to influence his decision. Guess who? It is amazing what a coach has to put up with,

That's very interesting. Kid was probably confused and needed sometime to clear his head.
 
Guys I don't get these "read between the line" answers.
If Lavin's said it to some of you I assume it's ok to share and since you did share some you can tell us the full story.

Unless you did pinky promise or told not to pass it down.

Please share with us who it was? Top ten program? top ten ranking? Thanks
 
it had to do with focus and taking class seriously the first semester.

Pretty common when kids can do whatever they want in High School and when they get to college this won't fly.

People need to understand after the Jarvis debacle there has been a mandate from the school no more issues with the basketball team. Kids are not going to get away with minor infractions because it can lead to bigger issues down the road. It appears judging by playing time this has been corrected.
 
No idea what Salty Dog is saying but I think he is trying to stir the pot.

Other schools were trying to stir the pot with the zach braziller article "unnamed sources". Trying to make things more difficult for our recruiting; that is even more of a reason lavin will need to be visible at recruiting now.

Absolutely false. Not trying to stir the pot at all. Just giving you an idea on inside information that was given to me directly. I don't feel I am at liberty to divulge.
However it is 2 teams that are presently in the top ten.

When not at liberty to divulge, don't. I am sure your "source" would be delighted to learn of your sharing info he wanted under wraps.

Obviously Sryacuse and Nova.
 
I thought of those teams also but eliminated Nova. Can't transfer from 1 BE school to another.
 
DId they keep that rule with the new conference alignment? Just asking because I don't know.

I think you are a shill for the athletic department trying to sell Red-White trips with the promise of cozying up to coaches and getting inside information.

Seriously, though, I would say that the athletic department has done a wonderful job at receptions here in NYC and on the road over the past few years. In Denver, they graciously hosted a FREE cocktail hours for fans who made the trip which was really cool as appreciation for the time and expense to get there.

They do a great job at these events. Almost as good as our redmen.com get togethers. :) Actually those events are kind of like mini redmen.com get togethers. I think the first time I met Jerseyshorejohnny was at the Kentucky trip several years ago
