Do you think it's still bothering him 8 years later?

Guy had an offer from LSU.
.
Offer then changed to grey shirt
.
He went to Illinois and the La Tech.
.
This board was aflame for months with Houston Bates threads that he was not good, waste of scholarship etc. He had girlfriend issues at Ul Laffy and really took a beating on here. It was really unfair to the kid all the way around.
.
Glad to see him having more success than some other players who people on this board felt were so much better blah, blah blah.
.
Too bad he didn't make it into TS which is where he wanted to go.
.
Dad was a dentist in Pineville who died young due to cancer. Mom remarried and moved to Mandeville.

It's usually white dudes making the complaints and nobody complained about Lacatoure.
