This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Garnsey's bio is still up and it's not a likely scenario. by RagingBull
There could be a dozen reasons why he isn't on the team. For example, maybe he has a 3.8 and doesn't want to play lacrosse anymore. He isn't a football player getting a full ride.
And speculation is one thing - like I saw Ian Book walking around campus in a cast so he may not be available to play, or Miles Boykin just got evaluated as a 2nd round pick so I'm predicting he'll leave early - versus an 18-year old who isn't in the public eye may be suffering academically.
I expect more out of a small community board that should look after its student-athletes.
