MCN I'm having a problem with quote function. While I have no inside info, I can't see most of the kids who left having left because CMA worked them too hard. If that was the case why did Earl, Williams, Robert's and Caraher return last season? In the case of the first 2, CMA and the staff really helped elevate their game, as they did with Champ, so one would think that they enjoyed playing for CMA and his staff. Again, just my opinion. As for CMA having an issue with Mullin's kids, there are new coaches all over the country every year who retain and coach kids they didn't sign. Gotta be able to do that if you want to be successful right out of the gate. Both Lavin and Jarvis did it quite well here, just to name 2. Notwithstanding the new transfer rule. I'm not one for excuses, not my personality, so naturally I'm going lay some of the blame on CMA and the staff.
Stuff happens within a team all the time, stuff that most outside will never ever here of. Sometimes, "insiders" find out about things but you will never hear about it from them because it was told either in confidence or they know its should stay in-house and be dealt with as such.
DeMeo as part of his wrongful termination lawsuit, has brought stuff out that if true, would normally stay in-house, and not aired out for public consumption. That is a breach of an unwritten rule. I don't expect many (if any) of the transfers if asked, will directly comment on the allegation of conflicts on the record (again whether all, some or none of the allegations are true or not) because they have moved on and won't breach the unwritten rule. It was evident last year that everyone was not on the same page, and we know that was the case with Moore who last year was suspended and benched. We heard about the so-called favoritism to the NYC players (who happen to include the best two players on the team). Was that a perception or just jealousy?
We lost all but three scholarship players from last year's team, so I would think with that many transfer's and Julian's comments (which didn't directly name any one player) seems to say not everyone was happy for whatever reason.
I understand DeMeo is bitter about his release and as is normally done in support of a lawsuit, plantiffs, based on the advice of their counsel or others, will throw every little thing into it to fog the issue and make them look good and the defendant to look petty and bad. It does not mean that some of the material and the main basis of the suit, is not valid. I don't know if it is or not, I am hoping it is not..
