I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

Also - after Dave Reynolds direct-tweeted to Jojo's mother and asked her to email him...and she said she would....
Dave writes his column and talks about going forward without Jojo but mentions no further info or details or if he got anything from talking with Jojo's mother.
For anyone not familiar with this issue, I encourage you to go back and read this thread from the beginning.
After Jojo McGlaston was dismissed for the team in mid-season last year, his mother made a number of serious charges publicly via her twitter account. She implied Coach Wardle was abusive and unfair and discriminated against Jojo. She also forwarded her complaints to the Bradley AD and even to higher administration officials and to the Missouri Valley and NCAA offices. She also dragged out the old issues related to claims of player abuse against Coach Wardle from UW-Green Bay, but never acknowledged that those issues were investigated thoroughly by independent investigators, and none of the claims were found to have happened. Coach Wardle was completely exonerated. And as noted in this thread, she made many of the same complaints directed at the Utah State coaches when Jojo was dismissed from that school (prior to ending up at Bradley). In all of this fiasco, it is quite notable that Jojo himself stayed silent and never joined in the attacks.
And also note that she communicated her complaints directly to Dave Reynolds via emails and Direct Messages on Twitter. But I congratulate Dave and the PJ Star for realizing she was a little unstable and off-base and nothing about her claims or accusations were ever taken seriously or printed by the PJ Star.
She also hired a nationally known and successful lawyer who specialized in lawsuits against universities in cases involving college sports and scholarship issues. But nothing ever happened, which strongly suggests the lawyer either refused to take her case or advised her not to proceed.
