BREAKING NEWS-EMU Senior center James Matthews, dismissed from team

Woo Hoo we break news but boo hoo, an EMU player has to be dismissed from the team for what Eastern Michigan is calling "conduct detrimental to the program".

Said EMU Head Coach Charles Ramsey in a statement:

"This is a tough decision, but one that was made in the best interests of the program and the players, James is taking his last course this semester and is on track to graduate in April. We wish James the best of luck in his future endeavors."

YCD will keep an ear to the ground as to what may have precipitated this.

ESPN stats for James Matthews
He averaged 5.0 points and 3.8 rebounds. During his career, he averaged 3.6 points and 2.7 rebounds.

YCD hopes this is a growing moment and accountability moment for a program looking to establish an identity.
