Could Jeremiah Worthem (and others) be done for the season?


It’s never a dull moment when covering RMU basketball. Last week we learned, center Mike McFadden and guard Juanie Newton had left the team. Last night, RMU played with a noticeably short three man bench. Not included on the bench: Jeremiah Worthem, Britton Lee, Evan Grey, and Shaire Tolson-Ford.  

We were left with a lot more questions than answer’s in Toole’s postgame press conference mostly because Toole didn’t know much as well. Here are the facts CTC has gathered:

-The four players absent from last nights game broke university policy.
-Whatever happened occurred right around 4:30 p.m. yesterday in the dorms.
-The team was unaware of the situation until warm-ups.
-It is an ongoing investigation and we likely won’t know anything for a while.
-McFadden and Newton’s statuses are “up in the air”.

With that being said, CTC has learned Toole has reached out to at least one athlete to bring in for a workout today. One would only assume if the staff is going through these measures, the investigation on Worthem, Lee, and the walk-on's is serious enough where it’s a real possibility they will not be back this season.
