I really want Max at IU, I believe the experience he would bring to the team would accelerate the development of Bryant and the others. I don't care if we are option A, B, C, D, etc., etc., I believe he is the type of player who will make the others around him much better especially since we are very green underneath the basket. TC will also be able to bring Max in and get quality minutes from him. I am sure no matter where Max ends up whether it was his first choice or third, he will embrace that program and give it his maximum effort and deliver positive minutes on the floor.

Not all the players are dumb enough to get caught. Doesn't make it right. Sherman comes off as if he was high.

  Sendek had some success at ASU, and Bobby Hurley had success at Buffalo before taking over at ASU. I imagine he learned a little something about recruiting from Coach K. Hurley has the pedigree to succeed and draw recruits to ASU. 

  Doesn't this reach across to other UNC sports as well? Unless the NCAA has botched yet another investigation this has to involve other UNC sports programs as well. Something else I feel the NCAA should consider is the noncooperation of UNC during the first investigation and not being forthright during that initial investigation. They hammered IU for Sampson's hindrance and untruthfulness during the NCAA investigation into the basketball program. 

The NCAA and UNC swept the first  investigation under the rug. The NCAA had no choice but to go back and perform another investigation after the media got hold of damaging information making them look like the incompetents they are, and just as corrupt as many of the outlaw college programs they are charged in investigating. 

I like Nate, but the people at Scout and the guy who wrote the article should have been drug tested along with DD and Hanner.

  Look like Tarzan play like ....

  Good post, this team is in need of a leader both on and off the court, and Bielfedt might be that guy. He has the intangibles that some of our current players are in need of developing. Obviously a team first type of player which are hard to come by at times.  

  I do not think it takes a pair of gentlemens to make this call, the players made the call for themselves. I also believe the call might have come from above Crean's level or strongly suggested.

Hate to see it but had to be done due to their transgressions and to make a statement to the others within the program. 

  After the DD incident last year Glass spoke with the team and the story goes he laid down the law to the team and he added much greater consequences would occur if there was another incident. Glass said he was positive he got through to the team. IMO, Glass and Crean will come off as a couple of Barney Fifes if they do not make some changes to the team - both carrying a gun with no ammo - all talk and there isn't an Andy to come to the rescue just a bunch of Otis the drunks.  I do not like to see a player or players kicked off the team but at some point you have to let the team know you are not a pushover and there are severe consequences for repeated violations and not just some mere slap on the wrist penalty of missing exhibition games. You also have to let the team know they were warned in a clear manner and one or two players decided not to heed the warning and were thinking only of themselves and not the team. Obviously the extra running, the morning workouts and the double secret probation have all failed as discipline, and some of the players could care less about the team and IU, and how IU and the program is perceived by outsiders.   Caveat - I realize DD was hospitalized at the time of the big speech to the team by Fred Glass, but something is telling me he received word. 

  I would imagine the investigating officer may have detected the odor outside the building and subsequently narrowed it down to a specific room once inside the building.    I believe the NCAA test year round. Dollars to donuts the team or certain team members were just recently tested which lead someone to believe they were in the clear to partake.

  Not sure how accurate this site is, but here is a link for such stats. You will see Yogi and others listed. Arrest is not accurate in regards to some, only citations were issued - still wrong.    http://arrestnation.com/2015-stats/ 

  No smoking, where did the odor come from, Bob Marley's ghost? Was it was just a mere coincidence DD's room was the room in which the odor was emanating from and he and Hanner were in the room together? The athletic program should have immediately subjected both parties to a drug test. If positive for Hanner - goodbye, even if not positive for Devin - goodbye for having the product in his possession.    Maybe this type of behavior will stop if a couple of players are shown the door in lieu of the "alleged tough love" policy currently in place. 

Read where ND is blocking Golson from playing for anyone on their current 2015 schedule, reasonable in my opinion, but to block him from certain B1G teams not on their schedule is punitive.
