He may have been one young man who in the long term would have been better off to go somewhere else to college and get away from the whole situation with his peers. Not relieving Burks of his own personal responsibility, but he should be in the NBA imo. Instead..well..as I said, it's very sad. Still love this young man, he could flat out ball.

This is some BS. Burks had positive influences in his life (Ken Bennet). Burks' life is where it is today because of Burks and the decisions he's made. When I worked the Binghampton area I saw Burks and his running buddy, Clyde Wade, more than once rolling around in his Dodge Magnum and up to no good. I still can't get over the fact that he was prepared to walk away from the opportunity to play for Calipari at Memphis because he didn't want to take his gold teeth out.

There is a ton of truth to what he is saying.

Are you saying if Burks grew up in Collerville and his parents had wealth he would have the same issues?

He wouldn't have had the guts to stand up to his meddling father and would have transferred to Virginia for his junior year.
