Joey O’s situation is out of Scott’s hand which is why he has said nothing about it. He should be back later in the year.
Honestly, Bill, I don't think Scott would tell us anyway. Maybe out of his hands is a better reason to say something about it. He may not be able to offer a date for JO's return, but jeesh, why always the secrecy? We're all going to know what happened in a matter of time anyway.

Maybe out of respect to the wrestler involved.
Can you at least say whether he was arrested along with the other mafia guys in the gambling ring or was he just gambling totally away from the ring itself because as you know our resident crackpot has defamed him and his family saying they were part of the ring ..I believe if he was an actual part if the ring he would never wrestle here again..correct me if I'm wrong

Has Joey O been practicing? If he’s atleast been practicing he should be good to go for the postseason but if he hasn’t been practicing I don’t see how gets ready to peak in march

Now, from two recent posts, you have suggested he's been involved with gambling. It sounds like you know something and are just desperate to differentiate between levels of involvement, for fear that Crackers might be right.

Crackers threw something against wall to see if it would stick and that’s wasn’t right but nice to know you defend that kind of crap about our best wrestler

I haven’t insinuated anything. Why don’t you read the post and see what WNG alluded to that wasn’t my comment but I was just referring to what was being said in the post. and I don’t have any idea what the kid did nor does anyone else except WNG who responded to someone here asked if gambling might’ve been the issue

based on the timing of when his absence started, and its not academics, I wonder if they are investigating whether or not he gambled on RU wrestling.
This is what I was referring to which is a far cry from being part of a criminal gambling mafia ring

Well maybe he got wrapped in the gambling maybe not but he obviously did something pretty serious considering he’s been suspended by the school across multiple semesters, the coach has no idea if or when he’s coming back and he just wrestled unattached this weekend, for all we know what he did is worse then being in a gambling ring

Man you're making a lot of friends...lol. The devotion to Joey O is on the next level with you , huh? Guaranteed , you have an embroidered pillow with his picture on it, or one of those air brushed palm tree/sunset license plates from the 80, that says "Harley1 💘 Joey O. Forever".

I have no idea what happened, it may not even be gambling related, but there should be a difference between (completely hypothetical) using a DraftKings account to bet on football, and being tied to a bookmaking mafia ring don’t you agree?

No. That was rescinded. All gambling is prohibited.

Not allowed by NCAA rules, loser
Who said anything about an athlete in college gambling. I said it was legalized gambling because you said it wasn't you complete zero with no background or pedigree in wrestling. Learn how to read. All that pressure from goody's culo really did some brain damage , huh?

You may have not met him , but you certainly have some sort of crush on him. I've never seen anybody defend someone they don't know, like you. Poor joey o. The guy can't get a break. First , he got jammed up for some improprieties , and now he has some south jersey sausage jockey , fanboying over him. You should have told everybody you were playing for the other team. I know I would've at least taken it easy on you because I would hurt your feelings and you would have to run into the corner and change your man pon.

Just like I said on another thread I am done wasting my time on drunk crackpot …when RU honors him like they do all other former AA wrestlers at the RAC I will come and tell him to his face what I think of all his attacks and lies about former ,present and future RI wrestlers …and he can tell Goody what he thinks of him to his face as well rather then attack him here like he does ..he says he is coming in March so let him tell us all the date they are honoring him …who knows maybe even Mr Knox would like to see him as well lol…meanwhile I’ll sit back and watch him make a fool of himself like he always does rather then respond to it …my sources say that will never ever happen but who know maybe his 4 transfer source can get the school take change their opinion of this supposed stellar former AA …sayonara crackpot !!!

You’re a loser with a comprehension problem. I said there’s a difference between hypothetically an athlete using draftkings (legal in court, illegal by NCAA) and being in a mafia gambling ring (illegal everywhere, and completely made up by you).

Hmmm..did I hit a nerve? Let's look at the facts. You have no children of your own. You're older, You are on a wrestling board fanboying over another male.and you look for male adulation. Outside of owning the complete wizard of oz collection and having all of Chers music on cassette, cds and spotify, you are definitely a closet queen.
