Message: [QUOTE="SU in Hershey, post: 3735915, member: 609"] We need to keep this in mind when homegrown talent seeks to go elsewhere (Neil Nunn is a recent example). Dajuan and Dayshawn represent different ends of the spectrum and what can happen to our athletes off of the field/court. It's great to see and read how one end is reaching out to help the other. The best way to recognize good fortune (not necessarily money, to be clear) is to share it with others who are in need. The old "You can lead a horse to water..." argument holds pretty strong here. Resources and options are wonderful, but you have to be receptive and aware that there are better options. Sometimes we carry demons inside that will never recognize a better path, and this is truly tragic. I hope that Dajuan finds him and is able to offer help...but Dayshawn has to recognize the opportunity and embrace it. Let's all [I]hope[/I] for a happy ending. [/QUOTE]
