[B][U]This is such a strange thread[/U]. [/B]

Honest question, who here thinks that when any player comes to SU to play hoops, that it is 4-5 years or bliss and roses? Because it sounds like some believe that this should be the expectation and anything less reflects some sort of deficiency in the program.

No. This is not reality. There are  many potential adversities that are thrown at these kids. Some of them come from within the hoops program (playing time, failing for the first time, injuries), some the academic realm and others in their personal lives (both on campus and back home).

Color me not concerned that JG's aunts said he seriously considered BC, and that there is some concern among his cousins that he might be playing too much or that his uncle said he's being played out of position.

Sounds to me like Joe has come up against some speed bumps along the way and has learned how to persevere thought them. He is a well-above average college player and will always be welcomed back at SU after his playing days are complete.

One more year to go (maybe more), but so far, he has been an +asset for the SU program. Good.
