I've said it all along,he's too slight of build to defend big 10 guards. Every team will try to post him up and he'll be helpless to defend them.

Sure he'll make some steals out front and may make spectacular plays but he can't cover his own man, let alone switch off to any other players.

I like his attitude, but he's not a big 10 player. hope I'm wrong, but when was the last time Illinois had a player built like him?
But, will they be able to guard him?

Trent Frazier, 3" shorter with short arms. He turned out ok

No, but consider two things:
(1) The university likely doesn't have access to much information since the situation is still working its way through the criminal justice system and the evidence that exists has largely not been made public.

(2) Shannon is leaving the university before the matter would be resolved at this point anyway, so what's the point in burning more calories on it?

The University continued to investigate Petry after his resignation so it's in their history.

Yes, that's a less complete version of what is here: Link to NewsChannel20 Report

As ABC's Kaira Willis reports at the end of the video, this doesn't affect the case in Douglas County, where Judge Sally Pokorny will get a more complete version of the evidence than the OSCR did. Judge Pokorny will decide, starting on May 10th, if the criminal case against Shannon goes to trial.

One of the issues I’ve always wanted to keep front and center because of context is just how bad the prosecuting attorney in Douglas County is. Not only has she been called on the carpet several times for misconduct, she has also just not had any sort of successful track record with prosecuting cases. Here’s another example of a sexual assault case dismissed for lack of evidence. I fully realize every case is different, but you just can’t discount her track record.

WCIA obtained on Wednesday a letter addressed to Shannon from the Office of Student Conflict Resolution. Dated April 5, the letter said investigators did not find sufficient evidence to deem Shannon in violation of the sections of the university’s Student Code that are applicable to his case.

The letter noted that the investigators did not have access to the complete files of the Lawrence, Kansas, Police Department. The investigators also did not have access to the woman accusing Shannon of rape and her witnesses.

The way the injunction decision acted like the University of Illinois ought to be able to make a substantive investigation of an incident that occurred in Kansas was truly bananas.

That's not what they said.

It's not just overall investigative incompetence by that county but also simple administrative things. Shannon's middle name is misspelled on half the documents. They've done such a bad job at redactions (and not just in this case but prior cases as well), anybody can see victim/witness information.

#2 in the decision maker in my eyes. At this point, with 5/10/24 being the hearing, the school is pretty much done with the matter. They did their due diligence at the start, followed a ruling in the middle, let it go at the end with no additional information coming to light.

I think that the takeaway for Josh and Co will be that when it comes to kids in any of his programs.....give the sermon early on and micromanage when necessary.

That was an interesting situation to say the least.

One ugly truth is that political considerations always play a role in these things, and in a place like Lawrence, KS, the attitude a local prosecutor takes toward football and basketball players accused of wrongdoing is always going to be a high-profile issue for how they are perceived by their electorate. TSJ isn't a KU player of course, but it ties into the same concept.

But then another ugly truth is that the ability of the accused and his allies to pressure the alleged victim into withdrawing their cooperation from the case is extremely commonly THE factor in cases involving violence against women, sexual or otherwise. And because of the uniqueness of this case, TSJ probably has no ability to do that even if he and his people had the inclination to try. Nor is this an alleged victim trapped in a situation where she's "persecuting" the star of the local team.

We shall see.
