LeQuint Allen is Back

[djorange1989]

He is going to be back at practice in mid-August, so he will miss some camp time but with two layups to start the season, I am not worried about that

 

[money3189]

Guess people shouldn't have panicked about the JJ Branham commitment meaning we felt poorly about LeQuint...

Glad common sense prevailed.

Yup and grabbing two juco RB's could have been their plan all along

 

[tep624]

Glad to see this has been resolved.

Hopefully the university reviews their processes so something like this doesn’t happen again.

As someone who worked in student affairs for 8 years - their fingers are so incredibly off the pulse, it’s absurd.

Ball out LA!

We are stacked at RB

Yessir! Very excited to see what Beck can do with all these guys.

Let’s go. Pleasantly surprised the university did the right thing. I’d like to think the public outcry and many emails sent a day moved the needle a bit. Regardless, great news that just can’t be understated. This season could be a very very good one.

Yeah, I’m taking full credit with my two minute phone message I left on the chancellors voicemail! Lol

So much of my life I want back. Including this thread.

But all’s well that ends well.

15-0.

It is unfortunate LeQuint had to pay for a lawyer, lose access to the campus and spend so much time and effort fighting for something that should never had been at stake.

I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have to also deal with the murder of his father while all this was going on.

Happy justice has been served.

Happy our legal system sometimes still works,

Hopeful this shines a light on the hopelessly broken system Syracuse University has in place to deal with these issues and drives major reforms to get qualified people in decision making roles who use common sense and have open minds.

We have a law school. This shouldn't be that hard to get fixed.

It would have been so easy to say the hell with this university, go into the portal and go somewhere else. Impressed LeQuint stayed and fought for justice. So relieved his faith in the system was rewarded.

I will bet that Coach Babers and John Wildhack have spent many hours working behind the scenes to lobby for this result. Thanks to them and all the others who worked behind the scenes to get this awful situation fixed.

I was a LaQuint fan before all this happened. If only because I know he was the last player on the field after the spring game, posing for selfies with kids, signing their autographs and making them feel special. The security guards tried hard to get the kids out and end things early but LeQuint refused to let things end until every kid had his wishes fulfilled by our RB from NJ. That story alone makes me a fan for life.

Him staying makes him a hero to me.

Way to go LeQuint. You can bet Syracuse fans will be rooting for you this fall and beyond.

 

[djorange1989]

Oh, ACC Media Days are coming up. LeQuint needs to be there, I don’t care if he can’t practice until mid-August. Just to stick it to the judicial board fascists

Yep he had the opportunity to jump into the portal in both windows and he didn’t. He and the new Juco RB are my favorite players now because of their respective stories

I’ve accept d the reality that LA will no longer be playing for us.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU STUPID IDIOT

[kingtidge]

Sweet baby Jesus loves us again!

 

[Lukeyloo]

FREEDOMMMMMMM!!!

 

[PhatOrange]

Nah Cuseregular, I'm taking credit that it was because of the 12 reply emails I sent back to the ticket office telling them I wasn't purchasing anymore tickets for any sport unless the LA suspension was lifted. lol

[phil77]

Took too long but happy with the results. Lets go out and have a monster year LA

 

[David321]

We did it

 

[HOFCeluck]

UpstateSM used his lawerly powers of lawyering.

 

[TexanMark]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU STUPID IDIOT

Yeah what he said

 

[anomander]

Sanity has prevailed. I’m honestly shocked, but happily shocked. Much respect to Lequint for sticking it out and not just transferring when he knew these disciplinary charges were being held over his head.

 

[Jake]

Credit where credit is due. Emily got this story confirmed quickly and got on the record quotes from the University and Allen’s attorney. That’s a great job.
