Mercer, carrying a black trash bag of his belongings, was escorted out of the practice facility a little before 4 p.m.
Felton said Mercer "had become a disruption." He was on a 15-game suspension for violations of the Athletic Association's academic attendance policy.
Mercer was the team's second-leading scorer last year. He missed the last 10 games of the year with a knee injury.

Are we even going to have a men's basketball team? It seems as if the team is falling apart!

What an idiot! If getting suspended for half the season wasn't bad enough. Too bad you can't give talent away to good people. What a waste, good luck though Mike at Savannah State or wherever they will take you. (Continued…)

The R&B is not "dogging" on the basketball team. The team is just simply being idiots. It started with Brown, Mercer and Jackson getting suspsended for having better things to do than earn an education. (Continued…)

I think Felton is being a disciplinarian. What else do you call kicking two players off the team for either being a disruption or breaking team rules. (Continued…)

I have been a big fan of Dennis Felton and the intensity that he brings to our basketball program. I'm also a big fan of him being a disciplinarian. However, I don't understand why everything that happens always leads to a dismissal or suspension. (Continued…)
