Re: Cody Larson II....

I think the Argus is going a little overboard with this...

What are your thoughts about Cody Larson. No hidden question here, just curious what people are thinking.

I heard he transferred to Penn State.

honestly, I think he'd have to do all the recruiting himself, go as a walk-on for the year that he'd have to sit out and if there was even the slightest rumor that he had been involved with anything close to illegal or unethical he'd be out.

And honestly I think that with his talent/size he'll get a better option somewhere else. I was told from people who know Cody that his family really wanted him to stay close when he was released from him LOI to Iowa, however I really don't know what to expect from him.

My guess is he'll go JuCo, say he's reformed and get a ton of offers. But I really don't know, he could be looking at over a year in jail in relations to this crime and the 120 days suspended in Sioux Falls. My guess is Florida and therefore any other school won't make any decision until its all figured out.

A lot of people are mentioning Iowa State, they recently had a de-commitment and there coach has had no problem taking on transfers with problems (Royce White from Minnesota is a prime example)

He has issues. I think that would sum it up my thoughts on him.

Re: Cody Larson II....

The story is on the AOL homepage. There were 22 comments at the time I read it. Coaches comments added in the story. Not a pretty sight!

Re: Cody Larson II....

your absolutely right, if you have talent you get every chance there is (right or wrong). However looking at 120 day sentence in SF, plus this (they have recorded phone conversations) I'd be surprised if he is playing at Florida next year. My guess is if he isn't in a jail cell he'll be at a JuCo next year.

I think you are right.

This is a very unfortunate situation. I will reserve my comments until the judical process is complete.

A VERY weak argument. They are getting a free education, plus room and board. It's arguments like this is why there are so many problems today.

It was Sarcasm... Hence the

Maybe if these AMATEUR athletes got paid more for their "services to the schools and the NCAA".... they wouldn't have to try and steal to make ends meet...

Re: Cody Larson II....

I wonder if he'll have to serve that suspended sentence back in SF now. That could be a harsh blow for the young man. But he's a very good BB player, so he'll get another chance at Florida or somewhere else.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Moronic. And sad.

Also, joeboo, your comment on the SF media is way off base. It was the "SF media" that got the original story wrong in the first place, which made things look much worse than they actually were. No one is going to paint this situation in a positive color. Stu was one of the few who got the actual story told, and did the in-depth interview with Cody himself that was certainly less than flattering.

rowdyrabbit: They probably used a bail bondsmen. If these kids had five grand they would probably not be attempting to steal.

Back to Cody. Another amazingly bad decision that will no doubt derail his basketball career before it ever gets started.

ok maybe I was a little off base, but I still think that Stu was more of an apologist then a reporter in his article. Stu goes after things he doesn't like, he attacks SDSU (and others) at every grasp of a chance he has, yet let Cody tell his story. Maybe it was the right decision, but it just seemed (to me) that Stu and others were forgiving to him throughout his high school career. (maybe its just my anti Stu coming out)

Its just a stupid decision, I can understand the alcohol, I can even understand the drugs but to break into a car is just stupid, especially when you are on probation.

Was this tongue in cheek?
