What are the odds he will ever see the court at NT?  I don't mind NT giving out second chances; but this certainly doesn't look good to the masses.  Certainly, not a commit that should save anybody's job.

Well, we did get a mention, as "a place where his AAU coaches have connections".  So, there is that.

The credibility of our University is at stake here. Has Frazier quickly morphed into a Rhodes scholar? Methinks not. This is a case of Benford pulling out all the stops to save his ass while "people" look the other way, using a kid as a pawn in his perverted game. It is not Frazier's fault, he has never been held accountable for his lack of academic effort. That is OK, because not everyone is cut out for college success. Frazier is gifted with physical talents and needs to get his shot at the next level ASAP. Benford needs to be on the next Greyhound out of Denton. JMHO.

If you think I'm pissed...I AM. We are all going to be tainted by this debacle if it is not handled correctly and promptly by Smatty.

Keith Wooden spent some time in jail on similar issues. That guy was awesome, and a good representative of our school. 

I'll give Frazier the benefit of the doubt until there's a good reason not to. And SMU potentially breaking the rules on his behalf (with or without his knowledge) isn't reason enough, in my opinion. 

Good luck, Keith. I hope we decide to re-start the basketball program in time for you to play here. Stay out of jail.
