RE: Whaley out for Tulane (at least)

[Keith Wedinger]

I fully support Huggins for doing this. We will never know for certain
why Huggins did this because he keeps such things in house. who
know...it could be because Robert missed a class. And not having Whaley
there won't have much of an impact on the team's performance. To date,
his potential has been much larger than his production. It won't take
much for our other post players to make up for Whaley's numbers. I
certainly hope Robert gets the message and starts doing what he is
supposed to be doing but if he does not, then his slice of the pie will
continue to get smaller.

You never know the "real" reason - remember Darnell Burton?  Have you
asked yourself why Pilgrim is in street clothes while Souleman is
dressed, even thought both ARE red shirting this year?

There are reasons that we may never find out.  I agree 100% with you are
wrote this same post about BJ "The Michelin Man" Grove in the past.  Be
glad we have Huggs as the coach and he is making every effort to break
Whaley so that he gets in line by the time he is really needed.

Let's hope that this is motivation enough for Whaley to do whatever it
is that is keeping him from the game tonight.
