OT - Marshall Henderson Suspended (Ole Miss BBall)

Submitted by MLaw06 on

Mississippi has indefinitely suspended guard Marshall Henderson for a violation of team rules, the school announced Wednesday.

The suspension is a result of multiple failed drug tests, sources told ESPN's Jeff Goodman.

... and Ole Miss knew that he was undisciplined and had numerous run-ins with the law.

Henderson came to Ole Miss with a history of discipline problems. He was arrested in both 2009 and 2011 and served time in jail after the second arrest because he violated his probation. Ole Miss has said the coaches were aware of Henderson's past when he signed with the program.

A commenter whpo makes sure that he says "This is a Michigan blog" in every single topic that doesn't talk about Michigan football or basketball. He even gave me a little grief for doing a Hello topic for a hockey recruit.

Hopefully he got banned

the most unsurprising piece of offseason news in cbb this year.  I think Vegas had him at about 2-1 odds of being suspended for doing something idiotic before the 2013-14 season.

Like Most Universities the suspension will last all off-season

 

AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY HE WILL BE REINSTATED RIGHT BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS....

 

Im getting so sick of coaches and schools (Im looking at you Brian Kelly and Mark Dantonio) who continue this RUSE if acting like they take disciplinary action that is MEANINGLESS then proclaiming your zero tolerance

Has Michigan done the same thing recently?  Honestly, if it has happened I'd like to know, but I don't remember anyone recently being suspended for just the offseason.  Look at Hagerup, he's out for a year right?  And that was just weed.  I'm willing to bet Henderson has moved on to something a little stronger.  

And geez man, the snarky comments are a real downer on what is supposed to be a fun place to discuss sports.

I'm just suprised, shocked, stunned, flabbergasted, amazed........................................that it took this long for him to get suspended for something.

He'll be in jail within a few months. Now he's got nothing to occupy his time with. He's a Grade-A screwup, and what's worse is that he embraces it.

Hope he turns it around at some point.

Per SBNation, Henderson may very well seek rehabilitation, although as the article points out, rehab requires "strength, focus and maturity", which Marshall Henderson doesn't seem to have in abundance. There was also this little gem:

"Ole Miss football player Denzel Nkemdiche posted a video to Instagram asking for Henderson's thoughts on the day, to which Henderson appeared to reply, "Sadness, ho," and then smiled to the camera. The video has since been removed, and Nkemdiche claimed his account was hacked."

Sorry, don't know who this guy is - is this just a general sports story, or does he have some connection to UM? Don't care either way, just wondering if there's some connection I'm missing.
