Yeah I never felt sorry for Kam. Chauncey on the other hand seemed to care about school and was obviously pretty smart, he just liked smoking pot.
Shoot. I know you're right on the money. That has run through my mind on more than one kid, and mostly not athletes. You second guess yourself as an instructor. Could someone else have taught it to them better? Am I being arbitrary in my evaluations? Or worse, when you know they actually understand the material more than some others that are passing, they just slacked off in some fashion along the way on things that counted, then learned it after the fact. Grades are a funny thing to begin with. They originally were a tool for evaluating the instructor, or how well the class was picking up the material. Somewhere along the line more than a hundred years ago, they became about the student's performance.
I guess I"m a bleeding heart. I'm to ep 5 and I feel like they're all the way they are for reasons. I dunno. So much opportunity, they literally just have to follow the path. But they just don't.
I get that. But there's plenty of people like Kam who have ADHD or other issues who get through it. It's certainly tough being separated from your mom but he had a lot more support than most of those kids could ever dream of.
Here's what I said about him in this thread last year: "Ihave no illusions about who he is. In Gus's offense he could maybe do ok just off speed. Nick Marshall he is not." I wouldn't call that buying the hype, not that there even was any real hype anyway.
I'm about 99% sure you posted something about wanting to have a three way with him and his Heisman trophy.
