Glad to see Caracter excell-----he needs this and deserves it.
I truely believe that Caracter has shown "True-Grit’ through his trials and tribulations. He has shown that he has heart to make it in the “Big Leagues” no matter where he winds up.
I can relate to an athlete that is stereo-typed into roles that are not real. He got a bad rap from Louisville and it followed him in collegiate sports.
The pros are not bound by all of the stereo-typeing as they are only after results.
I think he will produce at the next level and we will claim him as one of our own!!
Time to Move on!!
It really is JACELP, I just posted a new Dig that has all the final Strong links- and notes that Tim Floyd has been a busy man…. Recruiting a Michigan State transfer. Back to Business.
