Ashton Hagans Snapchat

I think it’s safe to assume if Ashton plays the next game or even this post season it’s been addressed and he’s been cleared.

UK has the best compliance Dept on the planet and they I’m sure knew about this the instant it happened. Still haven’t heard exactly when that was, but if Ashton played after it happened we are good. If he hasn’t played since the video but he does play this post season then he has been cleared.

UK would never take a chance on playing a student athlete that they thought was even remotely possible to have a major violation. Never in a million years IMO. The consensus right now is that he is playing in the SEC tourney so if that happens I’m gonna feel good about the whole thing.
I fully agree if he plays Friday. That will tell us there’s no problem.
 
I certainly hope your last paragraph is correct, but where are you getting that he’s been cleared of anything? If you’re referring to that statement posted earlier, it didn’t say anything about the outcome. It only said the compliance department was aware of the situation and has addressed it. No where did it say how they addressed it or anything about the outcome.
what could possibly happen he’s just showing off his friends money lol

I responded to this in another post, but the gist of my thinking is this—UK has the best compliance Dept on the planet. If he has already played after the video, we are good. If he hasn’t played since the video but does play this post season we r good.

UK would never allow an athlete to play if there was a chance for a major violation and games being potentially vacated. Since by all accounts I have heard are saying Hagans is playing in the SEC tourney, I will take that to mean he was cleared. If he doesn’t, then I will be concerned.

Of course, all of this is just conjecture. I’m not Sandy Bell. I just think it makes the most sense.

Did someone say that it wasn’t stupid for AH to do this in this thread?

If so I don’t agree and said so right from the start. I have no question UK was concerned about him posting the video and I guarantee he was reprimanded.

Does that make it ok for UK fans to immediately start speculating the money came from illegal or illicit means? Drug dealing and boosters and agents, just to make a few?

That’s what I’m upset about. To be completely clear in my viewpoint, even if it’s later determined that this was a major problem or issue as some have immediately asserted, that still doesn’t make what they did right either IMO.

One thing has nothing to do with the other. Ashton made a stupid mistake and far as I can tell, UK has looked into and addressed the situation.

But, that doesn’t give a pass to fans immediately assuming the absolute worst about the kid without any evidence or context or even hearing the other side. That’s been my beef from the start.

To be fair also, I got upset and heated in this thread. I don’t ever question other fans loyalty, even when I disagree with them. Maybe I should not have here either. Emotions got the best of me heat of the moment type stuff.

Like all UK fans, I just hope this gets put in the rear view and the team can focus on the post season moving forward. Like it or not, Ashton is a big piece we need to make a championship run IMO.
Some people thrive for the drama and other people misery. This place is like the TMZ of message boards at times. I would rather come here to discuss basketball or recruiting without all of the kids personal business being discussed. If the young man has done something wrong UK will handle it like they should. Following players on social media is silly in my opinion but that’s me
 
Would have probably said (with this suspension) "Good, it'll give him some free time to work on his outside shot if he really expects to make it in the NBA..."

However,....

Based on his continued sub-par outside shooting,... AND... Rondo's NBA success (i.e. lack of outside shooting)...

Maybe he knows that he's got a shot, regardless, even if he continues to do knuckle headed stuff ??

Go CATS!

p.s. I'm a Hagan's supporter--we need him for #9!
 
I asked if he was............ Do you want me to ask again after seeing the snapchat?

I'd ask the questions if it was a non UK player.... Im not going to be a hypocrite and not ask the question just because its a UK player

You can do what you want. However, you wouldn't be a hypocrite if you said nothing at all. Instead you choose to speculate.

True but how many Kansas fans would be joining in? Seems like most of you spreading this crap are also members of the clod. Sooooo

I’m neither “spreading this” nor am I a member of the “clod.”
 
Sure sounds like you are. Piss poor fan, either way.

Grow up. Or quote ONE MESSAGE from me in this thread that makes it sounds like I’m spreading this, or a member of the clod. Or a piss poor fan. Just one. Shouldn’t be hard if I’m such a piss poor fan. Let’s see it.

Truth hurts. Your post right above for one.

cane posted that ashton’s friend sold a car and hagans was flashing the money I have a screen shot of it i’ll upload it if you want
 
I don’t know where this money came from. He may be the next Pablo Escobar for all I know. But if I was a betting man, I would say that isn’t his cash for numerous reasons. Having said that,it isn’t a good look. I doubt it amounts to anything which will drive UL fans into a nuclear meltdown as their program is about to get eviscerated by the NCAA.
 
You “defend your own” even when they’re clearly in the wrong?

He was wrong for posting the video no matter if it is real, fake, his, not his, etc. I have said that.

I won't however sit here and ask if it from point shaving or an agent like some have.

His judgement off the court, seems to be the same as his decision making on the court.

Just awful.

How many stupid mistakes are people gonna excuse? We are up to what 5-6 bad mistakes probably more? Yelling at the coach, yelling at his teammate, giving up on plays to yell at the refs about fouls, forcing his play the last several weeks, turning the ball over from being careless, stacks of cash. How many does it take? What would it take for people to throw up their hands and say I’ve had enough? At some point the excuses need to stop for this guy. I have been a big fan of Ashton until like the last month or so but his behavior is bizarre and he’s close to not being in this program any longer. The season is almost over.

We have a group of seven who do the right thing. I would rather ride it out with them than gamble with hagans. I’m sorry but we can’t afford any more of hagans bad decisions. It’s not like he has 5-6 games to prove himself and show he’s changed. People don’t change in one week. Hagans is more a distraction at this point. You don’t have to be a rocket surgeon to see where this is going

we agree, then. I never said anything about where that money came from

you are a "dont rock the boat" person. I'm not one of those types of people. if I see things that look odd... I will ask questions. Sorry if you dont like that.... but I am who I am and nothing wrong with it.

Or say that he is a generally stupid person ( people make bad decisions especially kids) or a gang member

This could easily be a case of getting mixed up with another St. LOUIAN. You are the sane one...the other one that has the red booger smiley face for his avatar is not.

Right, you like to speculate. You don't live in facts, you live in fantasy. A rational person lets this play out.

We can all say it was a bad decision regardless of scenario. It is completely unecessary to say anything else, but you like to create drama.
 
Maybe Ashton got his tax refund monies and just showing off lol But if I was Cal I would have a social media ban for all the players during the season
