Comments on: Jamarcus Ellis to Northern Kentucky University? http://www.insidethehall.com/2008/06/04/report-jamarcus-ellis-to-northern-kentucky-university/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:48:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: junkman http://www.insidethehall.com/2008/06/04/report-jamarcus-ellis-to-northern-kentucky-university/comment-page-2/#comment-38916 junkman Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:26:29 +0000 http://www.insidethehall.com/2008/06/04/report-jamarcus-ellis-to-northern-kentucky-university/#comment-38916 And the gambling comment is a simple way of balancing your reasonable expectations of how JeMarcus's life will go forward...If you think he will have a turnaround and make a nice life for himself and his family. Great, than say so, I do not. I have seen his behavior over the past four years and haven't seen him do anything beside have one good season of junior college basketball, transfer to IU and quit on his teammates, threaten his coach, underperform academically, and be such a public pothead that he is a punchline in the newspapers and sports radio. He is now considering some po-dunk D2 school where he is at a crossroads and my belief is that he will continue to defy authority and basic structure. That isn't based on his race, nor is it based on his ability to play basketball...It is based on his trending behavior the escalation of of his antics. For you to write it off as him being only 20 years old, we all remember when Bob KNight was fired and Dane Fife came out publicly...somehow he handled it with a shade more dignity...When Mike Davis got fired his players didn't pull these kind of shenanigans... however, JeMarcus did and I will hold him accountable for his actions....maybe one day you will to.

Unless you have NEVER made ONE mistake in your entire life I suggest you keep your judgments to yourself. Jamarcus certainly was not good for this team, and I'm not heart broken that hes gone, but I do hope his new coach is able to provide some much needed guidance and that he gets his life pointed in the right direction.

Jamarcus certainly was not good for this team, and I'm not heart broken that hes gone, but I do hope his new coach is able to provide some much needed guidance and that he gets his life pointed in the right direction.

Smoking weed is still illegal…

He threatened to kill his coach (not his boss)…

Never really portrayed the model student image and the likelihood of him obtaining degree is not very strong…

Was Dakich a dick…probably…but does that mean you threaten to have your boys come from Chicago and kill him???

Ohhh and the fact that he was sleeping with his teammates girlfiriend is another red flag in my world…

Sorry, but those are just too many character issues for me to think the kid is going to have a life of strong decisions and opportunity…He flushed his first chance at college down the toilet in high school when he couldn't qualify academically, than he flushed it down again when he stopped going to class, was known for his drug use and threatened his coaches on and off the court…Now his third chance is at some rinky-dink D2 school in Kentucky and I'm supposed to think his future is looking brighter?
