Yes, ultimately, but was this a really good kid and as soon as he committed to UConn he went downhill? Really not sure why they ever recruited him if they cared about high character kids.

Also, did we lose out on other guys because we went hard after him or when he was signed.

funny that UC did not see the red flags, when they recruited him. Bouncing around 2-3 schools. It took a prep school coach from Putnam to see that this kid was toxic. After he was bounced from Putnam, the warning bells finally woke up the staff. I said it on a previous thread, and with this, it makes me think that my prediction may be right. The only team this kid will be playing on will be the Florida Penal basketball team. Go ahead pile on me, you have to admit that this time I might even be right.

They did, which is why they tried to get him out of Miami and into PSA.

Pretty sure he was bounced due to the school rule against fighting, so no, the coach of Putnam didn't see the red flags when he accepted him to the school in the first place. Very weird of you to want to pat yourself on the back for a kid getting himself in trouble, this site really has some certified bozos.
 
This is why rear view mirrors were invented.
 
He had been in two schools in Florida. He had changed families and neighborhoods. We put him in a third school.
What a self-righteous .

He's too young to be self righteous, and I sure as hell hope "we" didn't put him in any school.

Look in that rear view mirror and we'd also see kids like Caron Butler. In a perfect world the NCAA wouldn't penalize a school for taking a chance on a troubled kid and losing. If the NCAA was really about the kid, they'd allow every team a free scholarship to a troubled kid. If it worked out a couple times per decade, it'd be awesome.

Here's my favorite look in the rear view mirror:

I meant to say: Zach's verbal to UConn and entry into PSA was a total coincidence

Spent my life working with adolescents. They can be very self-righteous.
 
I'm curious - was Brown a senior, or post grad?

It's not an excuse but it does provide valuable context and allow any potential redeemable qualities to be easier seen.

We were talking about people with tough backgrounds who thrive given an opportunity and those that sabotage themselves. Maybe AH didn't belong in this particular conversation, but lighten up with the preaching.

It's a reason to understand the behavior, not an excuse. There's a difference.

It's up to the kid now.. Hope he finds his way I really do, way too many disastrous stories of failure in this world.

Good luck to the young man

So what are your opinions regarding MR images of PTSD victims scanned when undergoing an event?

Not sure if at his age he is capable of being self-righteous (although I know what you meant). Perhaps there is one word for 'doesn't listen', hardheaded, irresponsible and invincible.

Oh wait there is a word . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "teenager".

I wasn't talking about Zach when I said self-righteous. I was referring to a moralistic poster. I assumed Temery knew the poster was young!

But for kids, it's like: You catch them coming home sloshed. You address it. They can't believe you have the nervve to do that because you had 2 drinks over dinner then drove home and you're a big hypocrite!

The person I was calling self-righteous has the word "retired" in his handle. I didn't mean Zach. Zach is a kid who lived through hell.

I'm either confused or you are asking a pretty specific, technical question. PTSD does a number on people. It's real and it is not "in their heads". It is verifiable. Am I on the right track?

Yes

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, and Brown gets himself on the right track soon, basketball aside.
 
Fifth school now. Perhaps the ship has too much momentum to ever change course. I take no joy in saying that; merely an observation.
 
I don't know the kid, but from what is reported, NYC seems like a risky destination for a 'reset'.
