Iowa Basketball Recruits

Ya ok they play a little in the first semester.

Suspensions don't necessarily imply that the punishment is as severe for a stand out athlete as it would be for another student. My simple point is when people see potential in a young adult acting out they will often try harder to help redeem that person. It was more of a social observation rather than a statement referring to anything related to Locure.

P.S I don't really know why you are arguing with me so fervently. I had an interesting conversation and just wanted to pass along the substance since it is heavy conversation topic. I thought it made sense, and I could see no motivation for an old lady to defame some kid unjustly. Arguing with me about what I was told doesn't actually change what was said lol. If you don't buy it, that is fine. It has been noted for the official record.

P.S.S Even if this information is dead on accurate it doesn't change much IMO. I mean I pretty much expect a kid going to North to have had a rocky go of it and to be surrounded by bad influences. I see it as positive if Locure is making a concerted effort to walk a better path. It simply would mean that he was aware of the situation he finds himself in. All the same though I am not one to hold some 14/15 year old kids actions against him for very long. Kids can change behaviors like the wind. Now if these issues were still happening when he was 17 even being under the microscope of being a D1 prospect, well then I might see it differently. My personal take on Locure is if he is not a Murder, child molester, sexual assaulter, drug dealer, thief, or sleep walker then he is worth the flyer since he is of a big need. "Scratch where it itches".

"He has had numerous suspensions for fighting, alcohol, and drug possession. Attendance is apparently a problem too."

Wouldn't you think he would have been forced to sit out at least one quarter of a game, maybe not allowed to start if the above statement were true?

I showed up 10 minutes late to a 6am practice in high school and my coach held me out of the first half of the next game.

I can't speak to his high school situation but I know he was kicked off Mokan's team (AAU). I'm sure that was some kind of personal vendetta too, right?

That's weird, because orgs have been tagging Mokan in Locure twitter posts thru the season and he's liked posts about Mokan BB. I emailed Mokan BB, hopefully they respond. Where did you hear this?

Yeah, well I'll take that rumor with a grain of salt like I'm doing with the "lady" comments about suspensions, etc... I'll let you know if Mokan gets back to me.

Not from this coach, I don't. Paste any response you get from them, on this. If it isn't true, I want to let this coach know about it. I'll know in April, if he's on a Mokan roster or not.

I also asked Tyreke what his plans are for AAU this summer. I don't think it's a good idea for him to play for them anyway. He wasn't able to make all the games due to the travel involved.

I hope he does well where ever he goes. If he has had problems with attitude, discipline, he wouldn't be the first high school kid to have that problem and he sure as hell won't be the last. I had my share of problems growing up.

I didn't show up to get on the bus for a game and got suspended for three games. Lucky I didn't get kicked off the team. I turned my arse around after that so am sure Locure can too, if all that the "lady" said is true.

I'm not talking about "the lady" conversation. I'm talking about him getting kicked off Mokan's team.
