Marshmellow leaving Utah

[Schmoe]

Marshmallow was afraid of what would happen to him the next time he came to the MC. So he did the honorable thing and pussed out.

This is disappointing from so many angles. A thought: Marshall stood in a position to be one of the better players on the U in the upcoming years, and the thought of him having to step into a big leadership role for the team had the allure of a potential disaster.

Deja Vu: Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham recently promised to honor a scholarship to Tyler Shreve, a QB who was kicked off of his high school baseball team by the head coach this year for -you got it!- smoking pot. I wonder how his career at the U will turn out? Hmm...

Hey, pot doesn't detail football players! Have you forgotten the fabled career of Ricky Williams?

Really, though, I don't think a pot bust in high school is the worst of harbingers for an athlete's future. In Marshall's case, it wasn't just the pot bust, but it was that, the on-court attitude, the selfish shot selection, etc. It all added up to a guy that just didn't seem to "get it." Wonder where he goes from here.

Gone in 60 Seconds: Jordan Cyphers, Matt Read, Chris Hines, top scorer Carlon Brown, and top freshman Marshall Henderson, along with seniors Luka Drca and Kim Tillie. That makes 7 invisible men next season. And the team was sub-.500 with them all playing.

Surprised?: Henderson was kicked off of his high school basketball team by the head coach for smoking pot. In college at the University of Utah, Henderson was kicked off of the basketball team by head coach Jim Boylen for... drum roll please... smoking pot. Of course there's no way Boylen could have seen this coming when he was recruiting the kid, right? He thought only at BYU could an Honor Code issue force a kid to leave a sports team.

Promise you'll never leave us!: Boylen has 4 years left under contract coaching the Utes. His record as head coach is .571 overall, .565 in conference play. Ray Giacoletti's record as head coach of the Utes was .574 overall, .580 in conference play. Boylen's best season was 24 wins. Giacoletti's was 29. Boilen please say you'll stay and be the new Ray, okay!?

Rack 'em

[SpiffCoug]

Doesn't Marshmallow have the Texas high school state record for made threes or something like that? A kid who can shoot like that doesn't come to Utah without serious baggage that the big time programs in the state and Big 12 weren't willing to overlook.

[BYULV]

I came across a few guys that may have a year or two of eligibility left to help Coach Boylen out next year:





These last two may be out of the Ute's league, besides, I think the one in yelllow has already hired an agent and is therefore not eligible.

For anyone who cares, this loser ended up at Texas Tech.

I wonder where Boilen will end up after this season?

[urroner]

I wonder where Boilen will end up after this season?

[CougarClaw]

I wonder where Boilen will end up after this season?

Is Boylen the girl behind the beard? The kidnapped family? or part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Clan?
