Obsession: Although not official, Wetzel says McGary to NBA draft after failed drug test
According to Dan Wetzel at Yahoo!, McGary failed a random NCAA test during the Tournament. Instead of accepting a one year suspension, Wetzel says McGary will enter the draft.

Michigan just followed up after @DanWetzel story with quotes from Mitch McGary. Credit to both player/school for being open/honest.

Smoking dope ? At least this part of McGary's game is NBA ready.

The NCAA is out of control. Randomly testing a guy who didn't even play and then giving him a year suspension?
Can't wait until superconferences leave them. Ridiculous.

Let me be the first to say that the rule is absolute bullshit. **** the NCAA. I could give a flying shit about Gramps, but the rule is absolute bullshit and another reason to organize as athletes at the NCAA level.

But if he waits out the suspension, he can collect on social security.

Suspended for weed, LOL.
What a fucked up country/society we live in.
I hate that guy, but he got screwed hard by the NCAA.

From the story it sounds like the only reason they tested him was because he dressed against Tennessee. The rule is ridiculous, but it seems like Beilein's decision to "pump up the team" cost him any chance of getting McGary back. Kind of funny.
Also, for him to be "randomly" tested, it seems like someone must have tipped them off. ASS DAN! You sly son of a bitch.

Re: Gramps McGary to NBA off failed drug test.
So was this test administered by the NCAA? Hasn't MSU had players that have failed tests, or were they internal conducted by the AD and just not reported?

If you read the article, failing NCAA tests comes with a severe punishment while failing university tests are much less harsh.InTenSityX wrote:So was this test administered by the NCAA? Hasn't MSU had players that have failed tests, or were they internal conducted by the AD and just not reported?

Not sure I would describe it as "open/honest"
He was allowed to practice with the team even after he was suspended? And they knew he wasn't coming back?

Also he trivializes smoking weed throughout the article. It's no big deal honestly, just not open and honest as much as making excuses.
Still, **** the ncaa, that rule is ridiculous

I'd also question "open/honest" on the "I smoked it only the one time and they got me" part. My bullshit meter went on tilt reading that, how many times have we all heard that over the years?

He's just trying to stop it from possibly hurting his NBA prospects (not sure that it would considering the characters already employed).
Who gives a shit... I wouldn't tell the NCAA any more than they actually know. **** them.
It is funny that it happens to McGramps, though. **** Michigan.

The dope smoked the dope? Maybe the Denver Nuggets should draft him.

Re: Gramps McGary to NBA off failed drug test.
Especially an athlete who is supposedly working out. I would think that with as much fluids as they drink it would flush their system out faster than 2 weeks if you only smoked once. Don't these guys know to drink cranberry juice? I just don't see how a one time user and athlete keeps THC in their system for 2 weeks.LooseGoose wrote:

Re: Gramps McGary to NBA off failed drug test.
That is pretty fucked up, first time fail, which gets you at max of 3 games at any school if they catch (and report the catch) you.
If any player deserves a pass on weed, it's gramps. Bad back, super hyper ADD and is a shit ton old and still stuck in college.

I love the Michigan spin on things...
"Mitch admitted it immediately," Beilein said of confronting him with the positive test. "We preach integrity each day in this program and this is reflective of that, someone coming out and saying I used very poor judgment and I regret it and I want to move forward. I think a lot of people will forgive people who make youthful mistakes."
So, if you get busted...and test positive...and you admit it...you have "integrity".

Usually I would assume that hating a guy so much meant that he fucked your gf or something, but in this case I know that's not true because there is no way a girl could stand you for more than a few minutes.

Re: Gramps McGary to NBA off failed drug test.
I love this line
"This entire case feels like a stern and inflexible bureaucracy pushing a high profile, would-be All-American out of college competition for no particularly good reason."
So just because he was a preseason All-American based on three tourney games the year before, he's not anointed a Would-Be All-American?

That's my read as well. The NCAA was going to announce the suspension so McGary wanted to get in front of the story with his open and honest admission. I do think it forced his hand to go to the NBA as I really wonder if he intended to play another year of college ball to improve his draft position. But I don't think this will change his draft position much (low first round, high second round) if he can show up in workouts and prove that he's healthy. Most important is that this hurts Michigan's team next year and embarrasses their university and arrogant fanbase. That pleases me.......

This hardly seems fair. I'm sure it's for his glaucoma. Or arthritis.

Re: Gramps McGary to NBA off failed drug test.
So this should lead to the University of Colorado being able to recruit more one & done players, since they should be allowed to smoke weed there and better prepare for joining the National Blunt Association - amirite?Cosmo_Kramer wrote:Smoking weed is a prerequisite for the NBA
