MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[scottiedoug]

The grubby one knows of which he speaks...the teams he was part of had no ego deficiency and that is one reason they won a lot of ballgames!

Anybody know who the young man in sweats was on MC's bench Saturday?

[mattgrubb]

Jose Agosto from Gatlinburg Pittman.  He originally signed with Canisius and had an issue with his transcript.  He is now at Murvul.  The kid can flat out play the game of basketball.

[mattgrubb]

I think he had an issue with his transcript, I dont know that was the reason but i think that was it.  Any way you slice, He is at Murvul and MC fans are ecstatic cause he can play power forward at any level and he will be wearing orange and garnet baby.

Jose Agosto from Gatlinburg Pittman.  He originally signed with Canisius and had an issue with his transcript.  He is now at Murvul.  The kid can flat out play the game of basketball.

So, is a transcript issue at Canisius not a transcript issue at Maryville? 

[scottiedoug]

Mr. Grubby, is the plan for Jose Agosto to play as a Scottie this year?  Or will it take some time to resolve "transcript issues?"  Hasanova does ask a reasonable question....

I am assuming GSAC Killer had something to do with this....

[mattgrubb]

I made an assumption that it was a transcript issue, it may have just been the weather in New England.  For some reason that I am not sure of, he is not in New England, he is in Murvul.  I would say the Killer had something to do with this as he is a very popular and talented coach.

I have no idea what the academic requirements are at MC anymore.  I know i have a degree from there with a 3.0 GPA and an MBA from the University of Tennessee.  Fortunately, I never had issues with grades or transcripts so I cannot speak intelligently on any academic requirements b/c I was always had good grades.

[scottiedoug]

So if Agosto is eligible to play this year, which is well along toward finished, does it make sense to use eligibility now?  The freshman class is pretty impressive and three more years of them is a nice idea and so is four from him.  If the Scots this year can slide into the Big Tourney in the last year of MC as a Pool B team, it would be nice to have as strong a team as possible, but if they are not going to the tourney, I think I'd like to "save" his eligibility.  Whaddyathink?

[scottiedoug]

Hey Grubby:  With this kind of sentence, how'd you get a 3.0? 

"I was always had good grades."

[mattgrubb]

there is no spell check on here

I don't know what they will do, but I would not use any eligibility this year since it is almost over.  it literally will be done this month so why waste a year on one month, the shortest month of the year at that.

[scottiedoug]

You spelled all the words correctly....Maybe going to UT lowered your literacy skills.

I agree about the eligibility issue.

Covenant gets an upset today and helps out Maryville in the process. Scots beat LaGrange 77-72. Almost gave the game away in the final minute, but still hung on. Great win for Covenant.

[scottiedoug]

There is a reason they play the games!

[mattgrubb]

I bet Wallace was HOTTT under the collar losing to Covenant.  That is exactly why they play the games.  These are kids and not capable of producing the consistent results of seasoned veterans.  Wallace is doing a great job at LC, but that is conference play in any conference.  His kids will learn from that game.

Murvul will be ready for an end of season push and hopefully get the grubby one another GSAC title.

All the other potential Pool B teams in the NCAA D3 are having lousy years and some team has to represent the Bumblin' B's.  May as well be from the GSAC.
