I've been reading through the comments on this thread and everyone keeps referring to this young man as a kid. Even though he is in high school, at 19, he is no longer a kid. He is old enough to know right from wrong. Also, if he was provoked in any way, that does not justify his actions. I understand that this video was on his personal page outside of school functions, but as a member of team, he represents them on and off the court. A three game suspension is not a punishment that fits crime in my opinion. As far as this keeping him from a PERSONAL goal of being the second leading scorer, I don't feel sorry for him. As much as I would have liked to see him achieve it, it doesn't matter how hard you work, actions have consequences.

I'm sure they would like to see a few scoring records get broken, but keeping an all-state caliber guard on the roster means a decent chance at getting to Rupp and possibly doing some damage along the way, depending on what matchups that the 13th region draws at state.

I'm well aware of the comments that this player made towards a certain South laurel player in the past, so what happened over the weekend really comes as no surprise. At 19, he's not a minor anymore, but it's easy to trace where his beliefs come from, especially when his mother refers to Knox Central as thug nation on her Facebook page.
