I saw this the other day and wanted to comment on it. I am sure ISU knew what they were getting with him. His troubles are well documented everywhere he has been. The game against SDST when he was chucking and acting a fool on the court and then started brawling with teammates in the locker room cemented in my mind that he is a lost cause. Super talented, but just in general a birdbrained, short sighted and talented fool who hopefully makes some money in Europe so he is not committing crimes in the streets of 'merica

Another kid's life ruined by UNLV.
 
Suspended for one game - and sufficiently embarrassed for the rest of his ISU tenure, I reckon.

On the side of importance to me, dude has been playing extremely well.
 
Suxks about Poythress.

Would be interesting to find out how many Kentucky guys would have to get injured for me to not think they win the title.. I hope for the sake of those kids (no matter how miniscule their brains) that I never find out.

LazyD doesn't wish injury on folks. Only death, sometimes

PKM, did Poy have insurance on himself?

Yes. Around $2MM, iirc.

FWIW, Poythress is a 4.0 student. Has never had anything worse than an "A" in any subject starting from 1st grade. He is a junior and will graduate with a masters in accounting in May.

Thanks for the info. I like the guy even more even though I don't just assume all Kentucky athletes are stupid.

Leave it to the lazy posters to not do their homework.

It's just hate.. which fuels me.

Also, Brandon Knight, Patrick Patterson, Karl Towns, were/are 3.8 or better and had 'real' majors. Our scores are actually VERY high (though, in fairness, we spend a TON of money on personal tutors, etc)

I honestly don't see a problem in paying for tutors. If the players can put the time in with tutors or without to learn the material and put themselves in a better spot and walk out with a degree, or a good jump on one then they have something to fall back on if things don't work out in the sports world, and if they do they have some education to fall back on after they are done. It's a win win imo. If the schools have the money and can do this, it's only a good thing.

Totally agree. I was actually 'apologizing' for it because most schools don't have the money for personal tutors.

Btw, Cousins, Wall, Bledsoe, Knight, Rondo, TJones, and many others are spending some of their offseason back at UK working on their degrees. They all intend to finish.

Awesome. Wish more would do exactly that, but tbh I don't really know how many do that at my fav schools let alone any others.
