This has been beaten to death, but there was never a chance of him coming back for his senior year, push or no push. Our coaching staff isn't in the business of advising players based on personal gain as opposed to the gain of the player. His ceiling was never higher than after his junior year and he made the right decision to enter the draft (followed by a couple of wrong decisions since then). He wasn't getting faster, stronger, or more elusive by coming back for a 5th year. All he would have gotten is more miles on the odometer and possibly a career threatening injury (all while not getting paid for it). Draft stock wouldn't have improved one iota.

I love Josh. One of my favorites to watch play, but he's proven to be immature, emotional and not always rational. To me this is more likely to be a glimpse into why he didn't get to play more earlier as opposed to something "shitty" done by our coach.

Josh is still acting like a child on social media and not taking responsibility for his actions and words.

I think the staff handled the situation the way anyone would've. The track facilities are new & I'd be pissed if someone parked on them too if I was the coach. If he wanted to use the facilities to train, then fine, but ask permission ahead of time like the others do & don't "break in" & expect everything to be cool. Dan didn't know that was Josh out there. He was studying film in his office. He saw blue lights & went out on his balcony to see the commotion but he didn't know it was Josh. Not his fault.
Wish Josh had handled this situation differently. That said, also have to remember that Josh had anything BUT a stable upbringing. He has never had real parental guidance growing up, especially after his grandmother died at any early age. He slept in his car for a period of time. MSU brought him in & tried to give him a stable atmosphere & family. But 3 years isn't enough to undo the emotional damage he endured as a kid. It's obvious he has major trust issues & plays the blame game & victim a lot. I can understand to a certain degree why, but don't lick a gift horse in the mouth or bite the hand that fed ya. Burning bridges is never good. Wish he had waited before he acted out emotionally. They would've let him use the facilities if he would've just followed protocol & asked permission. I hate that he takes everything to heart & acts like a child. It's sad.

Yet, we've got people on here that have already increminated Mullen. Why are you people so stupid and immature that you can't wait till actual information comes out before blaming?
"increminated"???

I saw this garbage early this morning on FB, and Bonner I believe was the first to break the story. I didn't comment then, but I knew something was missing from the story, as all of you should have.
Remember, Bonner had Arkansas beating us last year,..the excuse was it was late and the paper ran the wrong ending to the game. Bonney wrote two endings, and the dumbasses at the CL ran the wrong one.
Then Killingburgers ran the headline about OM getting us to the SEC championship in baseball. Blamed it on Nashville.
Now Bonner jumps on a tweet without confirming a damn thing.
This is what you get when a bunch of amateurs become low paid writers. They'll sacrifice journalistic integrity just to be 5 minutes ahead in busting out a story, even if it's false.
Steve Robertson, while having no respect for the CL, has been taking up for Bonner. I'd like to see what he has to say about this latest clown show.
