Sain's MTSU basketball career over

 

Freshman Josh Sain has been dismissed from the MTSU basketball team.

 

Sain, the 2007 Class AA state tournament MVP from Jackson Liberty Tech, did not suit up for MTSU??™s regular-season finale Saturday. Sain was suspended three times for five total games this season and had not played in the last nine games. He averaged 6.7 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15 games.

 

???Josh Sain will no longer participate in any more basketball activities at Middle Tennessee,??? MTSU coach Kermit Davis said. ???We??™re still going to support him fully in all his academics. He can use the academic enhancement center and hopefully Josh can take advantage of that and finish the spring semester out on a positive academic note.

???I can say this: Every coach, every teammate, every athletic support staff member has done everything humanly possible to support Josh to be successful on and off the floor. We wish him the best.???

Sad story...I watched this kid in highschool. Seemed the sky was the limit for him. I hope he can turn things around and be successful in life.

ACADAMICS, CHARACTER ON OFF THE B/B COURT MUST BE A HIGH PRIORITY FOR ANY H.S. PLAYER TO ACHIEVE IN HIS LIFE BEFORE GOING TO COLLEGE AND GET LOST IN THE COLLEGE LIFE ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES . TOO BAD JOSH DIDNT TAKE ANY/ALL ADVICE OTHERS SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM ABOUT BEING SUCCESSFUL ON AND OFF THE B/B COURT BEFORE GOING TO COLLEGE. IM SURE MTSU GIVE HIM THEIR FULL SUPPORT ALL SEASON AND JUST WOULDNT LISTEN... HOPEFULLY HE WILL FIND HIMSELF BEFORE HES LOST IN THE MAZE OF LIFE.

What all was he suspended for?

All I can say is that is a crying shame...tons of kids would give anything to have been in his shoes and given that opportunity. Hopefully he will turn things around for himself..life can have afunny way of giving you a wake up call..maybe this is his.

I have heard about Sain being in trouble and suspended etc. earlier in the season. It stinks to hear about this but I did see it coming. No D-1 school like that is going to take more risks after they've given him several chances. I have heard things Josh was in trouble for but honestly don't think it should be discussed. Good Luck to Josh and I hope he gets stuff turned around!

what! I loved this kid what did he do!!!! can he still go anywhere else?

It's sad to see a Division 1 basketball player lose his full scholarship on stupidity. I heard him and Davis got into arguments on his first suspension, then failed a drug test, then had academic problems. I don't know if that info is 100% true though. Josh was a very great player for Liberty Tech, one of the top high school players in the state, and helped lead Liberty to back to back state tourney titles in 2006 and 2007.

That is why I was thinking, Expect to see back in Jackson at Lambuth pretty soon. Look they took Trey Pearson in.

Powell did sign and play with the Gators for one year. He didn't play much at all as a freshman but shouldn't have expected to either with a NCAA championship team in place. He left after his first year.

 

I think I heard he was going to Marshall but I'm not sure.
