You guys catch Pelphrey on sports just now?

[Boarcephus]

Asked him about CF for Texas and he said no and then they asked him how confident he was about him returning this year.  He hemhawed around and wouldn't really give an answer one way or the other.  He is not confident enough to say he felt he'd be back this year.

I watched the whole press conference. Maybe you should do the same. There is more that he said about it than that. You can tell that he is not the one that knows when he will be back, so he answered honestly.

[Breems]

Looking more and more like Fortson won't be back this year.  Terrible news if that's the case.

Where did you watch the interview?

[rude1]

No thanks. Nothing this goober could say to change my mind about him. Shut up and win some games is how I see it.

Have to agree with you.  I'm at the point I don't even want to see him or listen to anything he says.  I just tuned in to see if they had any football updates and they led off with him.

Razorvision. You can watch it for free.

Obviously someone besides most of us feels that pel has to be told what to do. He doesn't even have control of his program and Long has to take control.

Why doesn't he man up and say when he will return? I don't care if he ever states why he was suspended, but to drag this out like some sort of stunt is not only annoying, but shows his immaturity. If he doesn't even know that, what makes anyone think he can defend a junior high inbounds play, recruit, etc.?

Because he doesn't know when CF will return. It is evident that CF has to take care of things that he has not done yet. There is probably some privacy laws that are preventing him from discussing the very aspects that people want to know. He mentioned in his press conference that CF is the one responsible for when he comes back.

[ke2743]

Who cares if he returns this year or not.. We won't be any better.. End of story!!

[The_Truth]

I don't think CF will ever suit up again and I hope JP is not back next year.  Really how much worse could he possibly make the program?  No wins at all?  If that is the case, just shut down the bball program all together.

[Breems]

Could go either way actually.

There are no privacy laws protecting him on WHEN he will return! Now, never, three weeks from the next full moon! Make a decision, or do you need to use a few timeouts?

I wish he would come out and say one way or the other.  I do not think that he even knows.

They don't want to reveal that Fortson is done as a razorback because it will hurt attendance even more.

Then Fortson doesn't know either. 19-20 year olds can't keep that to themselves.

There are if they are the reasons he is not back. Apparently nobody knows when he will be baqck, so they can't answer that question to the medias or fans expectations.

[N HOG]

The surprising thing to me at this point is that there apparently are people who actually care if, and when, he will be back.

Let me answer your question with a question.

You're a member here. If I were to ask you when Lanny is going to allow a new forum to be created, what would you say? 

[netteltonhog]

Pel is 1 for 5 on last years recruiting class. Just why did they fire Stan. At least we won games.

1 for 6 actually. That is pretty sad.

I strongly believe, trying to read between the lines, that it is medical professionals who are the people  making the decisions, of when Fortson is ready to play.

There is a possibility that they are trying to get him to finish the spring semester satisfactorly, and he will leave in good standing, due to APR, and very possible that he will not play any at all.

It seems with injuries to key players, and the supensions, from last year to this year, has left John Pelphrey snake bitten.

I hope we have a true point guard in the new transfer from Iowa, who is a good student academically, and is experienced, can solve our pg problems next year. 

I hope he is the light at the end of the dark tunnel.

[ge-erdone]

No thanks. Nothing this goober could say to change my mind about him. Shut up and win some games is how I see it.

Is that attitude what you call "hard headed"?

[la20688]

I hate to say it but at this point does it really matter if he plays this year.  Suppose he comes back for the Miss St. game and plays the rest of the season.  If we then somehow manage to go 8-8 in the conference (big If), that would make our record 15-16.  Still no post season, which is what its all about.  So if he comes back, great (i guess) maybe the team will be more fun to watch, and maybe it will give Clarke some better looks, but other than that..........this season is TOAST!

[fred ziffel]

That's because it is not up to Pelphrey to decide. It's up to Fortson. Why is that so hard to understand?

Asked him about CF for Texas and he said no and then they asked him how confident he was about him returning this year.  He hemhawed around and wouldn't really give an answer one way or the other.  He is not confident enough to say he felt he'd be back this year.

I would hope Lanny is addressing any personal issues that are affecting his ability to be a part of the team and has the appropriate help and support before a decision is made.  A physician should be involved to make sure Lanny has addressed any issues and only when released from care by said physician should Lanny make a decision regarding creating a new forum.
