LOL, Frank.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina freshman center Laimonas Chatkevicius will miss six games after the NCAA determined he received impermissible benefits before enrolling at the school.

Gamecocks coach Frank Martin announced the suspension Sunday a few hours before the team began its season against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The NCAA ruled the 6-foot-11 Chatkevicius got benefits from his host family that weren't allowed before joining the Gamecocks. Chatkevicius is from Lithuania and played prep basketball at South Kent School in Connecticut.

Chatkevicius is among five freshmen on Martin's first team at South Carolina and is the team's tallest player. The penalty means he will not be eligible to play until Nov. 29 at St. John's.

The school also said that walk-on freshman Brian Steele was suspended because of athletic department policy.

CRAP! That's us too, guys. One of our crappy tuck donors gave him impermissible benefits, and now we'll have to take the heat.  :chainsaw: :curse:

Frank will be Frank.

Watching South Carolina at home vs. Wisc-Milwaukee on ESPN3.  Frank went absolutely ballistic on his excruciatingly un-adorbs Venezuelan forward following a set play out of a timeout in a tie-game with 15 seconds.

"You don't know what you're doing out of a goddamned timeout?!?". 

The undressing continued for another ten seconds on the bench, with ESPN careful to lower the audio on the second shot of the bench, though obvious repeated f-bombs flew from his lips.

Fun watching their fans stare on in disbelief at the unbridled fury.  They did come from behind to win in OT though, 82-75.

he'll win a little, then move on to a better job and win a lot.  kstate won't suck like futilely praying for the nit sucking, but they aren't going to be in the tourney every year.

martin will win more games than kstate does.  counting from now until he retires.

If BW does to the bball team what Prince did to the fball team, I will want him fired. I haven't seen that so far this year (will reevaluate yearly). But I won't want Frank back.

jezuscrist, oscar's failure will be a slow one.  We know the team will be good this year.  we are just hoping predicting that the returns will diminish gradually until we're back to Wooly-era.  It may take 10 years, but I guarantee it will happen.

Frank was doing nothing on the recruiting trail that gave me any indication that we weren't in for a significant slide . . . and once again, no 7 foot project/suspect student is/was going to change my mind. 

Otherwise it was pretty much swings and misses all over the map.

You really have to admire someone who chooses to ignore the parts of reality that don't support their argument. It takes a great deal of willpower, I'd imagine.

It doesn't take much will power to support the factual reality that Frank wasn't doing much on the recruiting trail, unless you call "signing" a 7 foot project who may not have even gotten into school some kind of recruiting coup?    If 2, no, arguably 3 entire classes in the heart of Frank's tenure hadn't been absolute $hit, I might not have the same viewpoint as I do now.   But the names on the recruiting ledgers don't lie.
