Jeronne Maymon update

If the guards attack the rim like they did last night for the rest of the season we will make the tournament even if Maymon has to redshirt.

I'm guessing this has already been discussed on here but here's a quote from Rob Lewis on VQ that clears up whether Maymon would need to apply for a 6th year of eligibility.

Yes, sorry, thanks for adding that pug, he still has a fifth year regardless, wouldn't have to worry about going the medical route.

So if the staff decides to RS Maymon it's definitely a plus that he doesn't have to worry about the NCAA granting him a 6th year.

Yeah I figured it had been, just wanted to post it to be sure though.

Honestly at this point I'm hoping Coach Martin will just go ahead and RS him because I would rather him be healthy for an entire season. And at this point I don't think Stokes is close to being NBA ready, so it would be huge to have both of those guys return next year.

Yea I see that being the most likely scenario, I'd be shocked if Maymon returned this season.

Would be great for the team to mesh together without Maymon and then you bring him into the mix. He is a good unselfish player who is great on the boards and who stokes meshes well with. Is there any scenario where we could see him in basketball shape by sec tournament time ?

If he's not playing by January, you can bet on him redshirting. At this point, I'd be surprised if he plays this season.

Why waste his senior year for possibly one game of basketball?

Maymon needs to hurry and come back. His inside presence is what we need right now because our inside game is really terrible. I think Coach Martin tries to hard to evolve the offense around Stokes and it hasn't worked. Having two dominate post players (Stokes and Maymon) will not only help the front court but the back court as well. Yemi and Hall to come in and relieve the two well help a lot as well.

Wouldn't count on it.
Our JRs and SRs just need to grow up and play to their potential every game.
Win about 20 games and come back a powerhouse with Maymon and Hubbs next season.

I hate hearing that there is always next season. Maymon needs to play this year and not worry about a medical blue shirt or whatever. Having him sit out this season will hurt them team more imo than helping it.

Yea screw your health or future Maymon, get out there and play, even though you can barely walk without crutches.

I've watched guys that play pretty good ball in wheel chairs.
Would that be legal in NCAA?
Don't think you'd see many setting up to take the charge.

At this point I want them to just redshirt him. Let him spend the rest of the year getting healthy. Guys are going to have to step up but the tournament is still an attainable goal, even without Maymon. Yemi, Q, and Edwards can get some valuable experience in his absence. Which will only help going forward. A healthy Maymon and Hubbs coming in, with every major piece except Hall and McBee returning next year could be scary good. And no I'm not "waiting to next yearing it", I just see no reason to waste Maymons last year. I still see a 8 or 9 seed as a possibility this year.

Read the signs.
There is a very good chance he won't return next season.
Dad holds the keys.

Maymon.
Signs:
Martin still looking at bigs for 2013.
Tim's rant that the knee is 100%.
Tim has always made every decision in Jerrone's career.
Started with seeing his son as a one year player and Williams running his offense through him.
Tim won't risk another injury playing in what he would consider a meaningless season if Jerrone gets a peep of interest from the NBA.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with this. If Maymon doesn't play this season I don't see his dad forcing him to go pro. And I don't see how a return next year would be a "meaningless" season. They'd have the roster to make a deep run into the tourney, and very balanced lineup that'd allow Maymon to work 1on1.

We're talking about TIM Maymon here.
He'll test the waters. If he can get Jerrone into the NBA this season, he'll be gone.

Problem with this is there won't be a "peep of interest" from the NBA until Maymon plays again.

Hopefully.
The way our luck runs, someone will take a chance.
Wasn't he being projected a second rounder before the injury?

Well see, I don't see it happening though, and I feel very confident about that.

You really see a NBA team promising Tim/Jeronne a spot on their team after he has sat his entire senior season? It's not like we're talking about a guy who was thought to be a first rounder or something, we're talking about a guy who after last year was at best thought of as a late 2nd rounder. Now he sits an entire year, and can barely walk and you think a NBA GM promises him a spot? I don't see it, but well see.

The very best I saw him projected by a reputable service was LATE 2nd round, their mock draft actually had him like 2nd to last pick in the draft.

Now fast forward to him sitting out an entire year and barely being able to walk...doubt that raises his stock.

My worries are with Tim.
Not exactly a rational thinker.
I could see him rejecting a medical red shirt and having Jerrone play 5 or 6 games in March.
You're talking about a guy who saw his son as a one and done and thought Buzz Williams should run the Marquette offense through him.
I'm sure you know his history.
Timmy ranting about the knee being 100% just got my worry train running.
Hope it's for nothing.
