Sounds like a fine young man. Have not read all the pages on this topic but I would say you had a hand in raising. Job well done.

I had been wondering about that, since some things didn't make sense if you were his dad. The pictures posted of his signing with LU for instance, where Bobby Jr. is obviously not present. I'm guessing you are.

I wish him the best.

It might have been something on our end that caused it, but it just as easily could have been a problem from his end. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on that soon.

Could be a simple matter of homesickness. He has a window of opportunity to change his mind. I think it is also safe to say that the overall campus experience is very different in Summer session than during the regular school year, and the difference between that and his visit may have caused him to reconsider. I'm not sure what his options are at this point, but I wish him the best.

Pops, if Braxton was here for a week and decided he didnt wanna be away from his girl, I beg you to get him on campus the first week of class.

I am not saying this is the case with Braxton, but its crazy how much entitlement and NBA free agency decisions have filtered down to HS and College hoops. There were more transfers last year than any other year in NCAA history. The grass is sometimes greener, but not always.

Don't come on here and act like it's all on the players. Coaches are notorious liars in recruiting, promising kids they are going to get playing time right away, going to do this and that, then they get there and it turns out it's all a bunch of BS.

bear in mind shuk, this was in the summertime, when freshman athletes are making the transition from high school to college. there was no playing time to be had. as I said before, I am not sure what could have soured him so significantly toward the school in one week of class
