Thought he’d be our version of the Pitt frontcourt kids who always killed us.

 

[Cuse1055]

Imagine him playing to his potential along with Paul Harris on the same team. We would’ve been just like those Pitt teams. Hope he’s ok.

Built like Superman with real basketball skills. I was sad when that didn't work out.

 

[Cuse1055]

He’s a player that I wonder if would have done better if he had left the area and gone away for college. Too many influences around him.

 

[Finwad32]

This is the stuff that scares/bothers me... I sincerely hope he’s okay and that better days are ahead.

a young individual with so much talent finding themself in hard times is not unique, but he is, and I hope he finds the path.

I can remember 99.8 pct of the guys who play here. I don't remember him.

Read the DO story. Good story about a sad story.

Was a local kid who was a top 100 player that was on the roster until he went awol against Vermont in the infamous tourney loss In 2005.

 

[Alsacs]

I remember a sweet dime Dayshawn had at the end of the Rutgers game in garbage time in the 2005 BET.

It was a sweet bounce pass. Hope he is okay.

 

[GooseMutt]

Mr Wright. Please respond!

I realize I’m an old man, but I don’t understand social media in the slightest. How can Coleman have no idea how to contact Wright or even know his whereabouts, but can know that he needs to be put “back on track?”

They are from same area, have same friends

I'm sure he heard from some people Dayshawn needs help and he wants to help him out

[tptcuse]

Hope he is okay.

I heard great things about his skills, but I always wondered how a 6’5” power forward would fit-in.

In hindsight, the Stan Kissel reference is cringeworthy.

I heard great things about his skills, but I always wondered how a 6’5” power forward would fit-in.

Hopkins spoke the world of Wright's skills, but he did seem like a strange fit for the system. I will say that, like Harris, he was undersized but with freakishly long arms. Probably 6'10" wingspan or more. So that would've helped. And he was very savvy - like Carmelo and later Rick Jackson, he used his body well as a rebounder; like Dajuan Coleman, he had nice court awareness and was a good passer.

 

[walsh2012]

sounds like su failed him horribly

 

[Cuse1055]

Rick Jackson would probably agree.

 

[Orangezoo]

Really hope that Dajuan can track him down. Also maybe I am bias but there are so many former SU student athletes who truly define what being a good human being is all about. Dajuans knees didn't let him be the force on the court he wanted to be but that didn't stop him from finding success and then seeing this. There are so many stories of giving back and looking to make a difference it makes me so proud as an alum to see this. Sadly we should have done better with Wright in theory, although it sounds like it may have been beyond what anything we could do but hopefully maybe something can be done now.

Woah...I’d like to know how.
