Why do people assume a mental disorder is to blame. Some people are just horrible people with or without a mental disorder. Dude is a P.O.S. regardless.

Nah, he's got some actual mental health issues. He's schizophrenic which often doesn't present itself until your late teens to early 20s. That's a tough deal in life. He could have been a better version of Brock Bowers.

My question is was this dude seen as a sporadic loose cannon in HS too?


Not according to the people at Marietta I've coached with.

He says it's schizophrenia, which is brutal.


If true (and I acknowledge it would be difficult to diagnose unless you are a professional) his parents/guardians/extended family should be ashamed of themselves. To have a family member be schizophrenic and allow them to bounce around the country with no support system is morally reprehensible (or just astoundingly ignorant).

If he is indeed suffering with this disease he needs a medical and family support structure along with medication to even have a chance at controlling it.

damn I hope they pulled whatever it is off the shelves since it has a half life of like 6 years, considering he had mental/behavioral issues in Athens and Lincoln after he left LSU. Crazy.

I’m a big proponent of mental health. But his issues seem to be skating the line of just being a horrible human being versus mental health issues

Your posts in this thread are starting to sound like you have some mental health issues.

If I remember correctly, I thought he came from a good family and made good grades. I don't remember one negative thing being said about him in HS, but that doesn't mean much these days.

I know most of us, including myself, are quick to just blast a player, but mental health issues are for real.

Just a sad story all around!
