I read somewhere that he may have flunked a drug test. He may just be a party animal and not willing to give up his vices. Or he may have some hurtles to clear with the NCAA. If that is the case, he may have trouble finding a new home.This goes into the 'unconfirmed rumors' cateogry but I heard it was nothing super-big, it was cronic stuff like being late for meetings and not following up on things he was expected to do.
If this was simply about being 'beaten out' during Spring Ball and 'seeing the handwritting on the wall,' why didn't he hit the portal back in May?
When I hear about the nature of his infractions, It's hard not to scratch my head and wonder what the heck is going on with Farmer? To me, it feels like a player who'd been coddled by the previous staff because he was a starter and was finding the new staff wasn't putting up with his prima-donna behavior anymore.
As we're seeing, Rhule runs a tight ship so he's seen this kind of behavior before at his previous college stops. It was before the portal but he responded by sitting their butts on the bench and playing younger players who had 'gotten with the program' even if they weren't as talented. He knew it meant he'd suffer some short-term pain. But as much as I want to win NOW, I respect a coach who'll make the sacrifices necessary for the long-term health of the program.
