Message: [QUOTE="nyhuskies13, post: 2168889, member: 4134"] Since you edited the above and used a quote to strengthen your argument... here's one for you from the last person to coach him in an organized basketball game just a few months ago “Hami had a lot going on, and typical Hamidou, he didn’t show up for all of the games. He’s still growing as a person and, at times, he wasn’t mentally tough enough in games. He struggled,” Espinosa said. He often got into foul trouble and even had a run-in with Espinosa that resulted in him being benched. Given the circumstances, Diallo’s decision to go to Kentucky, rather than finish the year in Putnam, is best for everyone involved. “He was not coming mentally prepared every day because he had so much going on, that started to get to me because it started to affect the team. I’m not going to miss that part. It wasn’t fun.” Espinosa said. “I think it was time for Hamidou to move on. If he decided to come back, it wasn’t going to be good. He could have been thinking I should have gone to Kentucky or UConn. What am I doing here? I think it probably would have been a battle for him every day to come in focused and mentally ready.” Sounds like a great locker room guy... True leader [/QUOTE]
