OT: Zach Brown arrested again

[tcf15]

Sad, sad, sad.

 

[superjohn]

Sad, sad, sad.

Ollie knew there was something rewlly wrong and smartly cut him loose. Kid has run out of second chances, sad.

 

[navery12]

Hope he gets some help. Because unless he turns things around quick doesn't seem like he'll ever play in college, and that'll be the least of his worries

You said it, Donald trump's twitter

Has to be pretty hard to steal and get away with it when you're 7' tall, come on man

 

[AntG168]

I think he suffers from some mental issues. His decisions don't make any sense

Wasn't too long ago that UConn was trying to get him to reclass and join 2016's recruiting class. Crazy to think that Brown could be on the team right now if he just kept it together at PSA.

Robbing a Walgreens? Agreed with @AntG168 there's gotta be something going on with him that hasn't been diagnosed...I'm no social worker but this would appear to transcend emotional instability.

Basketball is the least of my concerns at this point. I just hope he can stay out of jail and get his life back on track.

Its hard being a 7 ft thief.

 

[Fishy]

Cutting ties with him was a fairly easy decision - once he was thrown out of Putnam, his chances of qualifying academically were basically zero. Even before factoring in his habit of punching every third person he meets in the face, he wasn't a viable prospect at that time.

I don't know what St. John's was thinking. Forgetting academics, they took him after the first felony....how did they think this would end?

Not ssying there isn't something underlying that is wrong with him, but he also grew up in a horrible situation from what I know, based on the video and his story. No excuses, just not a good environment for the kid.

Yes, he also seems like he may be a bit developmentally slow.

 

[krinklecut]

Hey maybe this isn't the place to speculate about the mental health and development of a kid none of us know.

 

[Kitaman]

Kid needs to go to school in Montana or somewhere far far away. Its getting ugly quick and he needs help. Basketball should not be the priority.

Spot on. Sort of like after laptopgate, and the computer being fenced. The police asked the pawn shop owner if he could describe any of the people who had brought in the computer. The owner said "well, one of them was AJ Price."

Only the young man has the power to take control of his life and select the path he wants to be on. But if anyone was still questioning KO or the school for cutting ties, ....

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Basketball is probably the only thing keeping him out of being in even deeper trouble, so maybe it is a priority?

Nope. I criticize KO for his coaching and player development, but he handled the Zach Brown situation exactly right from the beginning.

I'm sure it has its benefits. Getting away is the hard part.

 

[gtcam]

I really feel for this guy
Doesn't seem like he has been given any proper direction at all
I don't care if he didn't come to UConn - it was a God send that he didn't
BUT maybe this is a cry for help
Basketball is the least of his worries

But you conveniently omit Zach Brown in your discussions when you criticize the recruiting classes not being up to speck.

Zach Brown Banned

I know when he visited at the XL Center shortly before he committed, there was a really odd-looking character following him around.

If the guardian really wanted to be looked at as the male version of the Sandra Bullock character in the Blind Side, then he needed to shut down Zach's basketball career a while ago. A 7 feet+ and with some apparent talent, he easily could've taken a year to find himself as a person and basketball would've embraced his return. Instead, he just talks about making a big mistake, but there are no

Small hands... smell like cabbage?
