Posters can criticize a player while also being respectful. Certain posters here have made outrageous claims and lies about his character and talent-level -- some claiming we'd be "better off without him." Others have been downright disrespectful, referring to him as a "cancer" to the team and the program. Those people are haters. In reality, he's a good kid, a talented player, and he was loyal to the program. He didn't live up to expectations or his potential, but it wasn't entirely his fault when you look at his situation and the (lack of) talent around him. Like I said earlier - the deck was stacked against him and he was dealt a bad hand (or 4 straight bad hands). [/QUOTE]
