Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2000192, member: 5798"] [B]I hear you Fairfield[/B], but remember, in a lot of cases, [B][I]talent trumps character[/I][/B] in the world of sports. All she needs is 1 coach or GM to be willing to take a chance on her. If a coach/GM thinks she can help them win basketball games, they're going to take a chance on her. Like I said, a change of scenery may do her a world of good. There was a mass exodus of players that left North Carolina when she did. The reasons vary from player to player. If she realized that situation was no longer a good fit for her, she should have left. Note the number of players that transferred that same year across the country. She was not the only one. Just look at all of the "head cases" we've had in the past across the professional sports landscape ([I][B]Terrell Owens & Dennis Rodman[/B][/I]). And the ones we have today ([I][B]DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Rose, [/B][/I][B]Greg Hardy[/B] and the kid at Duke that likes to trip people, and throw temper tantrums on the bench). DeShields can't hold a candle to any of these gents. :rolleyes: I hear what you're saying, but, like it or not, talent trumps character in today's sports world. I could give you at least a dozen more names to illustrate my point. You may not agree with me, and that's OK, but I think you understand and appreciate my posture on this. In this case, I'm not going to throw the baby out with the bath water. :cool: [/QUOTE]
