Benny Williams dismissed from program

[NineOneSeven]

Are you sure this is just a Benny "needs to grow up issue?" Maybe he is dealing with more than just maturity.

No idea. Certainly not privy to the details and I am sure it could be more than that. But don't bump your head coach. How about starting with that? This is basic stuff.

His teammates do not share in the board's enthusiasm over this event, at least per the broken heart emojis they are sharing on iG.

Of course they dont. He was a teammate and brother. They want him to succeed. Seeing someone close to them lose their chances of achieving their dreams is heartbreaking.

I'm sure they understand that he has been given many chances and with his actions, he pretty much forced Red to get rid of him.

I do. My twins are turning 4 in June. They're kids. Benny is a grown-ass man.

Weird comment.

well we'll see how you treat them when they're 20/21. I'm sure you'll be doing everything for them and treating them like kids. And if you don't their mom surely will.

Look the kid got kicked off the team as he should. Nobody is coddling him. My comments were made for anyone attacking him. He's clearly a very immature kid. He's not a 38 year old grown ass man.

Weird comment.

...that gets paid to play basketball.

 

[XC Cuse]

Kids immature. He has talent, but he needs to fix himself.

 

[dasher]

At 21, you should know right from wrong. Benny was given more than one chance to change his ways. He didn't take them. Red did absolutely the right thing. No part is more important than the whole.

 

[Cuse44]

Well there’s 20 minutes available for Chance to take the rest of the yr

 

[hoopsupstate]

that's bullshit. I have a kid who's a junior in college and near 21. he has his stuff together but from a maturity emotional standpoint he's just a kid. And I have no idea Benny's upbringing either.

Benny comes from an upper middle class family. He attended St. Andrews Episcopal school. It’s the same school that former President Trump‘s son Barron attended. He has had a privileged life.

Does he though?

He's played 3 years and still shoots line drives. I do wish him the best though truly. I rooted hard for him until the 1st suspension this year, then I wanted him gone since.

The science concerning brain development suggests otherwise. And I am 26 and have plenty of acquaintances between the ages of 21-24 and I would consider very few of them "grown-ass" men.

I understand what you're saying and I am certainly not dying on the Benny Williams hill but I just don't think it is reality.

Again, use a different word. He's not a "kid." He's an adult who received a scholarship to play D1 sports. Act like an adult. You don't, you suffer the consequences.

And watch your mouth. I thought discussing families and people's personal lives were no-bueno on this board. You're bordering dangerously close here.

I don't know you, and you don't know me, so mind your own business.

 

[jgeorge322]

Too bad, still think he couldve been a beast if he tried playing like guerrier when he played here but mever wanted to do that

Are they kids or are they adults? You can't play both sides here. Adults get paid and treated as professionals. Kids don't. "Power 5" D1 athletes are adults. Case closed.

 

[Lukeyloo]

realistically this was the only way the Benny experience was going to end. I wish him the best.

You're talking about a college kid. he doesn't' work, he doesn't pay bills, he doesn't have his own insurance. he's still being claimed as a dependent. come on. give it a rest.

you told me about your personal life bud.

 

[UpstateSM]

I don't think the level of athlete you are or money in your bank account has anything to do with whether you are a kid or an adult. But I will drop it because the case is closed. No sense in trying to change your mind. Lol.

That’s not what hitting is, Ashley

I take it you don't have kids. It's not like he murdered anyone, but whatever.

Not really, bro. You made a comment. I answered. You took it to another level. God this place is like Syracuse.com sometimes.

 

[Jzsshuttles]

A bunch of them won’t be here next year either.

So you’re saying Copeland is out
