Funny thread.
I have no problem with Aargh hating K|Uck as I hate them even worse. Sloppy seconds from a ChicKUn is enough reason for me to take a pass on a kid. Driving drunk (and getting caught) while a member of the program you passed on further cements your perceived disrespect to your detractors for the aforementioned reason. At the time I wanted the little boy's head on a lance.
That being said...
I've watched this kid play and he is the real deal. If he can temper his imbibery to the point that he isn't making national news with his drunken actions, he could be a formidable addition to an already formidable team. I am 100% on board with his basketball skills/talent but only 10% on board with his character and judgement. I have heard from folks close to the program that he is a "good kid", he learned his lesson, and he'll be fine. I have also heard he is still drinking heavily and is a time bomb waiting to blow.
I'm praying that he comes to Jesus and reaps the rewards of the gifts he's been given and the skills he's developed on one of the biggest sporting stages in the world. Or, he could just throw it all away because of a bottle of fermented drink. We don't know what's in the kid's mind. All kinds of people have all kinds of problems. But nobody can doubt his skill as he has been CB Certified good to go. The little fkr is almost magical with the things he can do with the ball. And he can play defense too! Who knew? I sure didn't. I reported on yet another Shocker scrimmage the other day highlighting one specific play in which CF robbed Zach Brown... yeah, that Zach Brown.
