Long, who recently qualified academically to play in the coming season and has told sources he intends to enroll in Siena's summer classes. ...this is not fair to Lavon....I am not happy about this...Lavon worked hard for 4 years and was an honor student that was never in question to qualify ...and article like this will never go away as some will always know him as the kid that had trouble qualifying....and that is not true...smh

At least he spelled the name right. That's a start. Funny thing is Amedio edited this after comments. When I pasted the sentence in another thread it was different. He changed the first instance of our new PG "Maurice White" (should be Marquis Wright) to "Maurice Wright." That was the only correction he thought to make. The only thing he really got right in that entire run on sentence was "power forward Michael Wolfe."

and that makes it even worse KK...looks to be deliberate ...Lavon did whar he was supposed to do and this guy smears him...I am vert upset with this...if Lavon does something wrong I am sure the press will have a fielday and rightfully so....but to slander his good name as an honor student that did it the right way is unfair to him. .and something needs to be done

It's old age and inability to remember names in the correct context. Last year he spelled all the recruits names wrong. He's a member of the MAAC board. If you mention it there he'll probably correct it. Probably best to say something now cause he also writes the MAAC preview for the Sporting News.

Steve's a good guy and a good writer but all you need to know is he still thinks Mitch got a raw deal and it was the fans fault he failed. Enough said. But I agree get the facts right about the players - geeze.

ok I just followed your advice ...I hope you are right ...spelling names wrong is one thing....misrepresenting a student athletes academic standing is something different...

Amedio is an old-school newspaperman who would benefit by still having an editor. He's out of place in the world of blogging. He's actually employed by the MAAC to write that blog... even though others cover the conference just as well for free. I'm surprised he doesn't publish any contact information for himself. He lives in the Albany area and usually writes about Siena quite extensively and not usually negatively. That sentence is a mess, though.

It has been corrected. Of course anything Amedio writes has to be taken with a grain of salt. He still thinks it was bad luck that did Mitch in (just like Lanier) and a 14-17 season was a great year. And let's not forget Mitch won a national title as an assistant when Ronald Reagan was President. But don't bring up Fairfield that was 20 years ago (wasn't Villanova before that though, ok to bring 1985 up) PPC don't sweat it...very few people read that blog.

I'm with PPC on this. That crap needs to be publicly retracted, if you ask me. It's absolutely not fair for Lavon to be put in that light when he clearly has no academic question marks. I agree that you need to have thick skin if your kid will be discussed in public forums such as ours, but one should not need to deal with false, derogatory statements presented as fact by so-called members of the media. A retraction/correction is warranted.
