Jeremy Fears - Out of BU?

[mexicobufan]

Does anyone know if he is still on campus completeing his classes?

I'm confused on how all these rumors and talk about about a player and his constitution can be helpful to the team and the community.

Doesn't this board have policy alongs these lines? Seems to me there is!

MnBob...the policy as set out in the "Rules for Posting"

http://www.bradleyfans.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4554

says that posters must avoid discussion that is speculative and personal, when it had not been made public via the team, the University, and or the press.


Here is what's clearly stated....is NOT ALLOWED

"Negative or unconstructive criticism of Bradley, the coaches, the players, or any personnel or staff at Bradley ...

Unsubstantiated rumors about players, coaches, or staff that are negative or defamatory in nature

Players:
Discussion of players should be limited to their performance on court. Discussions of off-court issues involving players will be strictly limited to verifiable reports and discussions in good taste. Exceptions are granted only if the subject has been reported in the media or released by the University athletic department.

Personal Information:
Personal information about coaches, players, player's family, or other representatives of Bradley or any institution are strictly prohibited. Do not post links to other sites where such personal information is available."


Therefore...I think it is allowable to report that a rumor exists about Jeremy Fears, and that we might have to wait and find out the facts.
BUT-- almost anything beyond that will be subject to scrutiny, since NOTHING on this subject has been released or confirmed by the team.

I think that's clear.........don't you?

MNBOB....Blame me for whats transpired with your Transfer/scholie post the other day. I followed your question with some personal observations that I thought we were discussing the rumors and speculating so much we were headed down the wrong path. Then others followed my lead.

You make a good point...on one hand we were asking to slow down the rumor talk about transfers/scholies now we are doing it with Fears.

I suggest that the main difference is this is new and it hasn't reached the saturation point like the scholie issue did.

Another aspect is that disputes between players and coaches happen quite often. The internet era has allowed the news about these disputes to reach a wider audience. Let's hope that the dispute is not irreconcilable. Hopefully this fence can be mended and we can move on to bigger and better things.

Here here.....things happen for a reason. Good, bad or otherwise BU will survive this.

I wish JF nothing but the best and HOPE he wants to be a Brave.

Man, with Fears apparently out, this means Lavin is gonna have to step it up a notch.

[it's boogie time]

Tornado would be having a field day if you replaced Bradley with New Mexico on this issue. He'd already have links to the Ohio, Iowa State and UNM message boards.

Ruffin and Fears would make a heckuva defensive backcourt together.

[Da Coach]

I don't speak for tornado, but I do not see the situation at New Mexico as anywhere near similar to Bradley. Bradley does not have a history of taking on disgruntled players from other schools like New Mexico does. Fears is the only one that I know. Bradley does not have a history of "stealing" other players and illegal contacts with players at other schools. The list of such player that have ended up at New Mexico or dropped out is longer than my arm. If it happens in this case, we'll report it.

[it's boogie time]

Ignore UNM and use any school other than Bradley and Tornado would be all over it.

It's one of the reason I don't say too much when players at other schools are leaving (except ISU). It's happened too much at Bradley and it will probably happen again.

[houstontxbrave]

Has this rumor been confirmed?

[amckillip]

Has this rumor been confirmed?

Not as of late.

[Da Coach]

It happens at every Division I school, and it happens most frequently at the top 25 schools.

[real fan]

Nothing reported in the newspaper about any issues with Fears; hopefully there was some disagreement that can be resolved as he sat out this season and came to the games in a tie so he must want to play as that is the hardest part watching and knowing you are good enough to be playing; I believe this would be a major blow for both him and Bradley as it could mean that 3 of the players we were counting on for next season Fears, Buycks, and Williams may not be here, I hope he realizes how much us fans and his teamates are counting on him playing and that there is no better place then peoria.

[dogsrus]

What contact does the coaching staff have with players as of now? They can't be practicing with the coaches can they?

If problems came up with ANY player recently what would it stem from....reports from teammates?

If ANY player were kicked off the team now it makes no sense that its on-the-court related if they are not practicing with the coaches.

What am I missing.....?

[real fan]

I agree and does anyone know if he has been playing in the games with the rest of the players ?
