When I see stories like this, there always seems to be a feeling of hopelessness with people in this situation. So I was reading the article and found quite the opposite.
1. Seemed mentally strong
2. Worked with kids
3. Kept a neat apartment

Things like that are not necessarily what you find with lost causes. I hope he stays the course and makes the effort to come back to Norfolk, at least for a visit. Would be great to see him welcomed at a basketball/football game. If he took that next step to reconnect with people that can help him, I would support him through a GoFundMe page, or something similar.

He was a senior when I was a freshman, so I had the privilege of seeing him play one year. He was tremendous. As I recall, he had a long streak of double-digit scoring games. I think it was the longest in the NCAA at the time. If not the longest, it was close. I made an attempt to look it up but it's one of those odd stats that is hard to find.
