Yeah, that's a much bigger deal than anything having to do with Gilbert.

I will never ever claim to be someone with an inkling of inside knowledge, and most on this board aren’t either. Until someone says something publicly, it’s irresponsible to guess what is going on besides the university/TJ’s/Keshons words. I remember some very unkind, harsh things said about Emily Ryan when she was out, and look what it ended up being. I hope those people all feel miserable about it, and it’s why I will never cast takes about what’s going on about a young athlete.
Now that he’s completely off the team, I’ll say what I’ve heard. I heard from 2 different people with sources (and no, I do not know who these sources are) that Keshons dad demanded additional money to play in the tournament. How much I don’t know. Obviously he was hurt and who knows how effective he’d be. But, I would bet that he would want to give it a try…whether it was this week or next week.
To me, an injury that isn’t seasonal ending like an acl or broken leg or requires immediate surgery, you usually see players as questionable or out indefinitely. Keep trying to rehab and see if he can go eventually. So, when they just flat shut him down, that raises questions. This rumor makes more sense than any other explanation I’ve heard.
I would guess this is between the dad and TJ and Keshon would rather play, but I have no idea.
Sounds about right. Only the most naive would think it’s actually about the injury. Granted, that’s a lot of CF, that also thought they were just song lyrics
I’m not saying to take them lightly, but we have the horses to win without those two. We have shown that. Play him sparingly if we can get an early lead.
Hasn't Lipsey already not been practicing for a lot of the year? Even if he's fully cleared to play Friday I wouldn't have him practice
I choose to focus on how happy he looked heading to the bus/plane. With an iced coffee to boot.
To be fair, there's worse. Two years ago we had someone calling players out as bums on CF and quasi-threatening them after a loss. I won't mention who because it's not worth it.
And then there's the 'The guys don't care and didn't show up tonight' when ISU's down 6 at the first under 16 time out haha.
The hyperbole/dramatic takes though, top tier.
Have we shown it? It's very silly to think that the team that lost by 20 at Hilton to a non-NCAA team and lost at Oklahoma State with Tamin, can sleep walk through Friday. They can win. But they can lose that game too.
Lipsey is not live ball practicing per TJ, he is shooting fine though!
*whining about basketball at every opportunity
Did we ever get any confirmation on the rumors of girl drama between Curtis Jones and Keshon Gilbert?
I'm not sure you understand how journalism works. I'm shocked how many people think beat reporters are supposed to be a fan of the team. What did they teach you guys in school?!
Randy Peterson has been a senile old man for at least a decade. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.
