December 7, 200718 yr I heard on the news that Legion did tell Billy G. that he wanted to come back. Billy G. said as of right now no decisions had been made and as of now is not part of the team. IMO he will be back.
December 7, 200718 yr IMO Billy G wants to see if Legion can be his own man and leave mom out of the equation. There comes a time when parents need to let there kids spread there wings and see where they land.
December 7, 200718 yr http://www.kentucky.com/269/story/252034.html Freshman Alex Legion wants to return to Kentucky's team. UK Coach Billy Gillispie wants no distractions going into Saturday's game at Indiana. So a decision on welcoming Legion back will have to wait until at least next week. Or so it seems. Gillispie recoiled from even that thin reed of a timetable for a decision on the on-again, off-again player. However, on Wednesday, Legion requested another meeting, which Gillispie scheduled for yesterday. "We met for a little bit," the UK coach told reporters. "He wants to be back on the team or whatever." When asked if he will talk again with Legion in the future, Gillispie said, "I don't know." Gillispie did recall his response to Legion asking to return to the UK team. "I said, 'We'll talk,' " he said. Much speculation has focused on Annette Legion as the person who wanted her son to play elsewhere. Earlier this week, she said that she would support her son if he chose to return to the UK team. A reporter asked Gillispie what influence Annette had on her son's original request to leave. "You'd have to ask him," the UK coach said. "I have my own thoughts on that. But I couldn't put a number on that as far as a percentage." After a pause, he added, "I do have my opinion, yeah, which I won't share with you."
December 9, 200718 yr I'm hearing he wants UM but Beilein isn't sold on taking him... :eek: Tubby's the coach at the only UM that matters.:fire: And that is what these prima donna athletes truly need. Someone to simply say NO TO THEM! Best thing for Legion would be for all college coaches to say no and the ONLY CHOICE he has, is to come back to Billy G and agree to do it Billy G's way.
December 10, 200718 yr Maggard says things look very doubtful now and that Legion will not be accepted back... Momma must have said to much... G
December 11, 200718 yr Mama said, "you stay away from that mean ole coach Gillethpie" :lol::lol::lol::lol:
December 11, 200718 yr Sounds as if Illinois could be under strong consideration for his services. I've heard the same. I've also heard he was told no by Beilein twice...
December 11, 200718 yr I've heard the same. I've also heard he was told no by Beilein twice... Has Gillespie told him no as well?
December 11, 200718 yr Has Gillespie told him no as well? I haven't confirmed that, but it seems to be correct...
December 11, 200718 yr I've heard the same. I've also heard he was told no by Beilein twice... He had a chance to go to UM with Beilein and bailed. I can see Beilein's perspective. UK had an assistant named Howard leave and take Tracy Webster's place at Illinois, so there is a connection there.
December 11, 200718 yr UK had an assistant named Howard leave and take Tracy Webster's place at Illinois, so there is a connection there. So it's an Administrative Assistant and Legion to Illinois for Miller???
