Folahan out at Marist

This dreadful season has finally hit Marist where it hurts: in recruiting. The great hope for the future, Naofall "Ming" Folahan, has rescinded his commitment from the Red Foxes.
After losing Casiem Drummond to academic ineligibility, Folahan represented the force that would free up guards Devin Price and Candon Rusin. That responsibility now lies entirely on Menelik Watson's shoulders.
Chuck Martin, suffering through a 1-and-forever season, loses a 6-foot-11, 230-pound pure center. Folahan, who apparently had better options, chose to explore those options after seeing Marist struggle to win one game this season.
Despite the circumstances, this is a hard pill to swallow for a team in dire need of good news.

Ming and I are friends on Facebook, he's not talking about it but he is hinting he's going to Cali ... maybe UCLA (they offered him a scholarship months ago). Im not sure but him and Kaba are really cool and im starting to feel like he's not attending Marist bcuz Kaba's leaving. Who knows. But being a Marist fan is def becoming impossible ... it really Hurts. I still support coach Martin tho.. he cant do nothing but go up@ this point!!! I believe he has great plans/goals for this program and is fighting/working hard to get it there ... its a battle but i believe hes fighting. I know he will get us there in due time....!!

I suspect academics is the issue with Ming... Marist is not a good fit for him since academic rigor is too great.
