Not a great way to start you collegiate career for Mississippi State freshman guard D.J. Gardner. He was dismissed from the team by Head Coach, Rick Stansbury, for “repeated actions deemed detrimental to the team.”
The team was planning to redshirt the 6-foot-7 Gardner this season, Gardner was apparently unhappy.
The last of the “actions” that were “detrimental’ to the team was a profanity-laced tweet: “These b***es tried to f**k me over.. That’s y I red shirted .. But I wish my homies a great as* season.. I don’t even know y I’m still here”
Gardner got an answer to his current situation, quickly. He was dismissed shortly after his tweet.
Gardner’s Twitter account has since been deleted.
Gardner is the fourth Bulldogs player to leave the program in nine months – joining Twany Beckham, John Riek and Elgin Bailey. Stansbury had banned his players from using the social messaging website last season after Ravern Johnson used Twitter to question his role on the team.
The ban was lifted after the season. Stansbury hasn’t said if it will return.
