Marshall Henderson is his Own Worst Enemy

It had to be nice for Ole Miss fans to win the SEC Championship last season. It also had to be nice to make the Big Dance for the first time in over a decade. At times it had to be nice to watch junior shooting guard Marshall Henderson light it up on the court.

Sometimes his antics were too over the top, vulgar, and/or disrespectful. That kind of stuff was not too entertaining, and didn't fill anyone with pride--and will probably be why there are not too many people coming to his defense now that Ole Miss has suspended him.

And he has no one to thank but himself.

On Tuesday the university announced that Henderson was being suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. Rumor has it that the violation was actually a failed drug test, but that has yet to be confirmed. For a player with his history that is definitely a huge red flag.

It could also be one that cost him him college basketball career.

At first his Twitter account was quiet giving off the impression that maybe--just maybe--he was concerned about the situation and was doing the smart thing by being quiet. While he is a good player, if anyone is going to speak for him and try to help they need to believe he wants to make whatever went wrong right.

But--he doesn't. Or at least it didn't appear so in the short lived Instagram video that his buddy Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche (which was quickly deleted). According to LostLetterman.com it did not appear like he was too concerned:

Henderson also appeared to laugh off the whole incident in a since-deleted video posted to Instagram by Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche. Said Nkemdiche in the clip: “Public announcement: Free my brother Marshall. So what are your thoughts about today?”

Henderson responded, “Sad as hell,” before flashing a devilish smile.

Hmmm...

Now I am sure his fans will likely say that it is just Marshall being Marshall. He isn't going to sweat anything like being suspended. Instead, he is just going to continue being him and hope that things will work out anyway.

What he needs to be doing is taking a look around the world of professional sports. Leagues are getting fed up with guys like him and don't care for them as much as they used to--even if they play well. So if he still has aspirations of playing at the next level he might want to do what he can to salvage his final season of college basketball so he can prove himself an asset to the NBA.

Because right not he is a liability. No one wants a liability.
