While those of us who have been critical of him had no way of knowing, Armon having a medical problem of this nature would certainly explain a lot.

Remember the discussion of privacy laws when the rumors were circulating about Alex's knee? There is no way RMc would be giving out information of this nature unless it were accurate and Armon had authorized it.

As far as troyywr's comments are concerned, I see absolutely no benefit to this being announced now as far as opening up a scholarship is concerned. We all know that we are currently over our limit when you add new recruits to scholarship players with eligibility remaining, so someone will be out. It is no secret, and there is absolutely nothing unethical about a coach deciding not to renew a scholarship for any reason. Those decisions may in fact have already been made, but they are not likely to be anounced til the season is over.

Bro look back to the previous posts over the last 2 years...if he's not injured then I do wish they would have just said what we all have been waiting for "he was let go by the team" I mean it appears your pretty close to the situation Troy a little to close...I wish you would go to the practices and watch this kid you can tell he was going to get corrected before it even happens b/c he is the only one just not getting it


If I was Armon I'd want people to think that I was sitting out b/c of injury rather than the fact I just cant play....we'll see what DIII school he transfers to
Fixed it.

HA...yeah I was being sarcastic...it's like these local players and their parents that get mad b/c LU doesnt give them a shot and then they bad mouth the school and program b/c they feel they "have to look all over the country when there is good talent here" yet when you ask what other schools have offered them a scholly or even a letter of interest they can not come up with anything every time

Guys, if the reports aren't tue, which is completely your own speculation, then they're trying to save the kid some face. If it is true, that sucks for him. Either way, give him a break.

Suggesting that the announcement to the press of Armon's medical condition is a fabrication goes waaaaaaayy beyond speculation. The penalties for disseminating medical information which is untrue and/or unauthorized involve 6 figure fines and/or federal prison. You can bet the house he has a real (medical) heart problem!
