re: Fuller Rumors: NCAA Charges Coming

And I'd say, even if it's true, I don't see how it's a knock on KA because I'd assume whatever it involves happened under Haith's watch. So personally, I never took it as a pro-KA vs. anti-KA type of issue.

Since I'm the one chirping about sources I'll be blunt on where I was going on that. A poster going by the handle of saul over on PowerMizzou posted a rumor wherein he said Fuller was being forced out, that J3, Teki and Namon are all talking transfer, and that Gant wants to stay but has other issues that might make staying difficult. It was quite a mouthful and a bombshell - and doesn't completely mesh necessarily either with the rumor form that 808 offers up or with the "team hasn't been told anything about Fuller leaving" stuff that Gabe DeArmond said.

But the saul poster who said that also admitted very openly to having been against the KA hire and criticized the lack of direction in the program and such in the same thread. So a person like that is pretty much admitting they'd like to see a coaching change made, and it makes you wonder whether a "the sky is falling!" type rumor from them is more tied to them having an agenda of wanting to rally opposition to KA.

That's a large part of why I was pressing you so much on this 808. The Fuller thing is clearly floating around CoMo in several different forms of rumor and I'm trying to get some sense of where the different forms of smoke are coming from. The bit of backstory you gave already gives it more credibility than anything the saul poster offered up. So thanks.
