  • Recruit wont play for VT b/c of shootings

    Citing the April 16 campus shootings at Virginia Tech that left 32 people and their killer dead, basketball recruit Augustus Gilchrist said he is "not mentally prepared" to honor his letter-of-intent and will not play for the Hokies next season.


    This seems like a stupid reason to me considering this could happen to any school. Thoughts??

    I think if the young man doesn't feel comfortable for whatever reason he should go elsewhere. While not exactly the same situation I happen to work in fast food and was robbed at gunpoint several<yikes 13> years ago. As your argument states... "it could happen anywhere". I however was very ineffective as a manager at that location for the 3 weeks I tried to stick it out. I asked for and was granted a transfer by the owner of the franchise and worked for them for another 6 years. Again it could happen anywhere but the simple fact is it happened "there" and whether it is a "good" reason or not it is a valid reason for wanting to be elsewhere.

    Just my opinion on the subject.
