Earlier today we told you that Mississippi State basketball player Ravern Johnson had used his Twitter account to unleash an unpunctuated rant against Rick Stansbury’s work as the team’s coach. Brad Locke of The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal wrote about the dust-up here.
But now the story has taken another turn. It seems Renardo Sidney — who can’t seem to stay out of the news… except when it concerns his so-so play — actually re-tweeted Johnson’s “Starting to see why people Transfer” blast.
Since Locke reported the story of Johnson’s tweet, both players have deleted the posts and their Twitter accounts altogether. (That might have been on orders from their coach.)
Naturally, Locke has been portrayed as the villain of the story by some. One Twitter twit said that he won’t be buying Locke’s newspaper. Yes, because how dare a reporter actually report on player dissension that’s already first been reported by the players themselves via Twitter.






[...] Mr. SEC reported that Johnson’s tweets were deleted. [...]
