I think if the best player on any SECW football team was suspended, this board would be interested. Not quite as much for basketball, but still news. It's not like it was a thread started to compare recruiting (in July) or focusing on recruiting tactics.
Dontae was just more interested in basketball than academics. But, he NEVER embarrassed himself or MSU. Kennedy 'KNEW' exactly what he was getting with Henderson, much like Stans knew what he was getting with Sid. Both were/are 'high risk/high reward' players. Didn't work for Stans and it looks like it ain't gonna work for AK. Interesting 'if' he keeps him after this.
He (Henderson) was also reprimanded by the NCAA in June for making an "inappropriate gesture" following the Rebels' loss to LaSalle in the third round of the NCAA tournament.
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.
It worked out great for Kennedy. Marshall Henderson saved his damn job. If he doesn't get them in the NCAA tourney, Kennedy is out on his *** right now. It will be interesting to see if Kennedy keeps to the strict guldelines that were set for Henderson when he became a Bear.
I never thought of Dontae as a rule breaker or trouble maker- quite the opposite. It does stretch the imagination that a guy that couldn't graduate high school somehow passed 34 hours in summer school. No pre med student I know could do that. Besides OM threw their doucheman off the team-- we embraced ours. Sort of a bad example... But hey--at least ours went to the Final Four
