LSU over Baylor...hmmm...looks like he simply didn't want to go to class or do actual homework/studies.

I also took classes with many of the basketball team in 2011, if not traveling they were in class. And if they weren't traveling and weren't in class, it matched 1 to 1 on when someone got suspended for violating team rules.

I had some football players in a math class in 12 or 13 and a future Biletnikoff award winner was mostly present. I did have a basketball player drop an upper level class I was in due to time constraints. Professor would not change any due dates. Tennis and soccer players had no issues though.

I think Baylor athletes tend to be in class more. Obviously some exceptions and I'm sure they skip many of the giant lecture hall classes, but regular students often skip those as well.

This is an old story, but I'll tell it anyway.

My mom taught economics in Hankamer in the late 60s/early 70s. Tommy Bowman (BU's first black scholarship basketball player) was in her class. Except he rarely showed up for class. One day she was in the faculty lounge and making conversation with another professor who she knew was a big BU sports fan, and she asked if Tommy Bowman was still on the team because she hadn't seen him in class in several weeks. By the time she got back to her office her phone was ringing and it was Bill Menefee, saying "I understand Mr. Bowman hasn't been coming to your class." When she confirmed it, for the rest of the semester an assistant coach would walk Tommy to the door of her class to make sure he was there.

Bowman went on to graduate, had a successful business career with Central Freight and Lipsitz & Co in Waco, and served on the Board of Regents. When he spoke at Menefee's funeral in 2016, he told the story about how the coach had someone personally escort him to class to make sure he got his education.

I had classes with a lot of football players too and they would attend class, but they also had someone on the football staff check to see who was in class every day there was class. Basketball on the other hand…like I said…they didn't come back.

I'm really thinking you just don't understand travel schedules for the basketball team.

No I do, but you're telling me 1 week of class…..basketball season last the whole semester fall or spring? I'm just saying let's not pretend Baylor basketball players come to play school anymore more than LSU or the like.

I'm telling you I had multiple classes with players in 2010, 2011, and 2012 (thanks being honors). The guys that didn't show up to class always ended up suspended the following game, and other than the class that happened to be taught by a grad assistant to the team, no one from the bball staff was coming in during class to check people attended.

Did his decommit have anything to do with the fact we got his name wrong?

If we got it wrong, McCook Community College did as well. It was Boyed pretty much everywhere until recently.
