Justin Martin to SMU

[WindyCitySource 600]

So does anyone actually know what Justin's issues were?  I'm seeing a lot of speculation about it, but did he do something at Xavier (on or off court) that's obvious, or are these issues behind closed doors?

 

We will probably never know

But I thought he would spend his final seasons at a higher caliber school than SMU. [/quote] They have some solid transfers coming in, Mudiay, and Larry Brown as a coach. They may be high caliber next year.


Sent from my place of advanced, analytical thinking: the toilet.

went to an Xavier basketball forum and asked for insight on the "issues" that are rumored around Justin Martin.  Only one response back so far.

 

"Scohutch, 

Thanks for your post. I have no idea what the Indiana schools are thinking or have heard. Justin got a a lot of criticism on the X boards for inconsistent play, but there were complicating factors prior to this past season because of two concussions. He was a strong player for us last year, and I suspect that a sizable majority of fans were wanting him to stay. I got the sense he was well liked by his teammates. If there were problems off the court I'm not aware of them or have forgotten about them."

Nice investigative reporting.  Appreciate it!

Appreciate the kindness, Sco.  Too many times I've seen speculative nonsense about IU from arguably sane posters on other boards, and thought "if they'd only asked on our board, they'd get a much better understanding".  

 

It's a nice way to get some inside scoop; good posters often have as much insight as beat reporters, and are far more willing to give an honest take.
