Malachi Richardson at Jordan Brand Classic

This whole thing does not give me a pleasant feeling.

This whole thing does not give me a pleasant feeling.

What whole thing, Malachi being at the game? A future pro weighing his options? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but what is bothering you?

 

[pearl31]

Nope. So much for leaving in good academic standing.

just Oh Lord

 

[longtimefan]

Well someone should have an idea if he's still going to class.

I figured that you knew. Or, at least were ready to post that you knew.

 

[Madbiker]

Just don't sign with an agent. Right now almost nobody has him as a 1st round pick.

 

[dasher]

All this because he went to a basketball game? He had the whole week to declare and he didn't. And all of us thought that he would at least declare. Just relax and let this play out.

 

[Jake]

Agreed Dash. Though his presence doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, yesterday was another day down without him declaring.

 

[cbcuse3]

Not sure exactly what it means, but he was definitely there. Sitting right behind one of the team's benches.

He was there recruiting Taurean Thompson. Enough said. Non-story.

Everyone I know does

Someone on the basketball team has a little more say over their schedule than your son and his buddies. After freshman year I did not take a class on a Friday.

Actually could this be construed as a violation? I would think Mali would be considered a representative of the University.

After freshman year? My sons a freshman. Mali is a freshman. It's hard to completely avoid a Friday class or two. Unless he's taking 12 credits maybe.

The bad feeling comes from all the players there who have or will declare, i.e.: Jamaal Murray. Also, this sort of event has to be teeming with agents.

Teeming. tee1222: no, you cannot copywrite that word for your likes. He is teeming me up is not grammatically correct, okay, bud? Your likes are reaching a JarHeadJim ratio!

I would guess that he would be taking only 12 credits. That would be what the summer start classes would be for. Plus, since the team travels for Saturday games, it would make sense not to have Friday classes if you could help it.

I get the feeling that mali isn't going to be influenced by agents. He has a support system in place. Now, we all thought he would at least declare. He hasn't even done that yet. shouldn't we feel good about that? It at least shows there is no eagerness to declare.

Though his presence doesn't give me a warm feeling, yesterday was an UP day with him NOT declaring.

Fixed.

That very well could be. Doesn't bother me he's there even if he has a Friday class. If it was next weekend maybe. Finals start in just over 2 weeks.

Oh, I feel fine about it. I've said I think he will be back, though I'm guessing he tests the waters.

His family is in NJ. Barclay's is a NJ Transit train and a subway ride away from his home. I was just playing devil's advocate and feeding into the paranoia of the teeming masses.

 

[iommi]

You're like a cross between Eeyore and Iggy.

Eeyore. He doesn't disappear when we are playing well or making a Final Four run and Franco hasn't used, "Boeheimed...dino...tavern...Melo...Ethan Cole...greatest player in history of ESPN, etc.".

Of course, Franco might just be concerned with copyright issues.

pretty sure hes still going to class

I would expect Mali is taking 12 credits. If you play a sport at SU you get preference before everyone else when it comes to scheduling classes. Maybe he skipped a Friday class, but I would not make that assumption.

Perhaps his professor cancelled classes? I'm confused how it's our business what the kid does with his free time.

Love your fancy status here. I'm an All-American, sure, but you're Syracusefan.com NCAA Hoops Challenge Champ 2015-2016. Fancy.

Seriously, nice job. Next year, I'll give it a shot.

I don't know. But there's 3 pages of posts.

Sorry. Didn't mean it like that at all. I just mean it makes me think that he is not coming back. I don't blame him for weighing his options.

I hated finals as do most students.Goingback to high school I was so nervous about an algebra test or maybe the regents . which I can't remember at this time. I had my very sharp pencils in my left hand and without realizing what was happening I jammed the tip of one of those pencils in to thearea of my upper palm. Its been stuck there since that time as a reminder of those days . Its not as discernible now as it was at one time but I can still see it,75 years later.When I sat down for the test I was bleeding which I hadn't noticed before that the proctor came over with a tissue and that was cure for the day. Yes I passed the test much to my surprise but apparently I knew more than I thought.
