Withholding the decision on Tremell Murphy is unfair to Tremell and everyone who supports Drake University. This man has been punished. It was an ACCIDENT Drake. Get over it. Don't ruin this man's life because of an accident. Drake...Your alumni is not as liberal as you are. Give Tremell a fair shake. Quickly. Please Drakenation use whatever influence you have.
Moving forward.....

Agree with DT. It's been long enough to make a decision and that decision should be a suspension that isn't excessive.
It was an accident.

Do we know that a decision has not been made?

I don't think he's back at practice yet.

I doubt he has ever been "not practicing". I talked with man who is pretty much "in the know" with college basketball, a DI player's Dad, that told me the first thing any player would do in Tremell's situation, along with the parents, is make sure all is good with the coach and school. If not that player would immediately leave that school and move on down the line. I think no news is good news. If Drake were to lower the boom now they would lose support. So ... bottom line, I don't think Tremell is going to even miss one game, well maybe one game.

It does seem to be ridiculous to wait so long. He has already missed a lot of practice which does no good for anybody and obviously hurts team chemistry and future success

I agree that media day should be a good indicator. I’m pretty sure he’s still not in any official team activities. He’s not in any of the, albeit short, practice videos. His headshot (NPI) hasn’t been updated on the website and he wasn’t at the filming of the teams pregame hype video thing.
Certainly those are all pretty superficial things but I think it shows he may still not be around.

Has the official charge been agreed to by the police, lawyers, judge, etc.? I haven’t seen anything official nor any sentence handed down or anything, so I figure Drake is waiting for all that to happen before they make any official statement on Tremells status. It does seem like it is taking a long time.
Here we go Bulldogs, here we go…

All of the legal stuff is concluded. Two misdemeanors. We're just waiting on Drake.

It sure seems like it would be to Drake’s advantage to resolve ASAP in all ways - basketballwise and to put it behind them publicly, at least in my opinion

Another disadvantage of media coverage or lack thereof. If this were Iowa or Iowa State there would be non-stop pressure from the media day after day to get an answer until one was given. Meanwhile I'm sure there hasn't been so much as a whisper about this situation, and there probably won't be until at least Tuesday's media day. Maybe Drake is taking the "maybe everyone will forget about it" approach and there won't be any public statements or consequences.

Im sure Tremell, Coaches and team know exactly what the situation is. No one else really matters until the first tip-off.

True. But unless he is no longer a Bulldog there is no reason to be missing a month of practice time

Think everyone should relax. Cant imagine a scenario where Tremell has left the program and his brother remains. And wilkins too. Drake isnt going to blowup the entire mens basketball program over this so chill out. As i posted before, every one who needs to know whats going on knows. Go outside and play!
