He doesn't sound like a Pinky recruit, much less a Can't recruit in general.

And one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet. Glad to hear he's making the turnaround!

He still struggles with ball handling, but he has adapted to that weakness, putting himself in positions when he does drive or back his defender down, to minimize that weakness. Ivey frustrates the hell out of me sometimes, but his growth has been fantastic. I'm most impressed by his demeanor. He had a hot head last year, and is able to control his emotions much, much better this year. Kudos to him and the coaching staff on working with him.

5 games early and Can't State still sucks. Didn't think this game would get picked up.

Must win.

Not to mention the ever-quickly-covered-up accusation of academic fraud. Thank you for the Andy Griffith Show reference!

Hence the "not trying to justify Gueye's actions" statement I used in my comment. I'm not making excuses for Gueye's actions. My point was more an example to show there may be more to this story than we know. I don't know Mark off the court, but on the court, I've seen him get under plenty of opposing players' skin. Again, zero justification for Gueye's actions, but the tone being implied in some posts is this came out of nowhere which is really, really odd.

There are some massive assumptions being made, and those assumptions are turning into unproven judgement and accusations. For all we know, Mark could have made a comment to Gueye that either isn't being reported or nobody heard, that led to an altercation (not trying to justify Gueye's actions). There are some extremely odd and troubling questions to come from this, but until the facts are out and we have absolute proof of fault, assumptions shouldn't be made. Has Gueye been officially dismissed from the team (I apologize if I've missed this in an earlier post)? I think it's odd there doesn't seem to be any defense of Kostelac from the team or coach. You would think if a guy were 100% innocent in a situation, there would be more of a public attempt to defend and apologize to the guy.

You beat them at their own game, you overcame a lot of adversity, and you beat a team that Can't lost to by 30+ a few days ago. Good. Win.

@Akronfan111 Unless we find out Groce errored in the handling of this, this is no way shape or form a black eye for Groce. Purely based on talent, Mark was a fringe DI athlete to begin with and clearly couldn't quite get up to the speed of the MAC, despite showing flashes.

@akronzips71 In the Portal of Transfer.

That opens a scholarship. Very unfortunate circumstances though.

This board needed that laugh. Thank you.
