Sentinel Reports Four Men's Basketball Players Suspended as Practice Starts

From the Sentinel, BG had four players suspended for breaking team rules as practice started.  Craig Sealey, Spencer Parker and Josh Gomez (who has yet to appear in a game) were suspended one week for breaking team rules.  Richaun Holmes was suspended 3 days for the same thing--violating team rules.  The Sentinel said the Holmes suspension was for a separate incident.

Obviously, optimism is in pretty short supply around the men's program.  You never know, but on paper BG has as little proven talent as it has had since the end of the Dakich years.  There are some decent players and some who might improve and I never want to be too bleak, but on paper it isn't good and the Coach is in the last year of his contract.

My point is that something like this either doesn't help or isn't a good sign.  Coach puts the best spin on it...good to get it out of the way early...but certainly not the way you'd like to start out a season that was already shaky.
