Very interesting

Scroll down to Omar's quotes.  He says that Montrell will be here net year.   First thing anyone has heard on the subject to my knowledge.   We sure could have used him today to bolster our pressure and give another ball handler/slasher/ball pressure specialist to replace Regis while he was struggling.   Now that the season has played out, I truly believe that his 14 minutes a game was the difference between us being a top 10 team (with him) and more like a top 15 or 20 team without him.

P.S.  I love the fact that Omar said publicly that it seemed like the refs were letting Duke play on the defensive end more than GW.  Damn straight Omar and I don't think the players should feel afraid of being called whiners for telling it like it is.

That's a good eye, FQ.

Don't know if it was just a force of habit, though. And he didn't mention Danilo, who is quite likely coming back.

Don't think Montrell, who was hugely missed in this game, since he could have done what Regis was in for, is coming back. Afraid to ask, but would now,--that the season is over and he either is cming back or isn't (and I think isn't based on admittedly third-hand info. and the idea that he just missed so many critical games. It is bizarre that he could have done something forgiveable that caused him to miss these games. But trust Hobbs.

Hope against hope,  Montrell ineplcably does come back, though only with the right attitude.

I heard from a decently reliable source that Montrell is likely going to leave G-Dub.  My source (not directly from the team) claims that Montrell was a Pikell recruit, and that once Steve left for SB, Montrell wasn't the same.  I don't want to start any rumors, but if what I heard about his potential infractions were true (let's just say they weren't academic), he probably shouldn't be back in the buff and blue.

Rather than let this erode into a BS rumor mill, let's just hope that if the differences can be patched up, I'd love to have MM back.  If not, we have other guys who can help.

I definitely agree that he would have made a big difference in both games.  It's a shame that he couldn't take part, but again, if what I hear is true, I understand 800%.
