Do you know if RH has kept his commitments to the basketball program? Just curious.

For all you know, he very well may not be working towards being a better ball player, may not be meeting off season goals in the weight room and with drills, may not be attending "non-mandatory" but rather mandatory workouts, etc....you don't know, and neither does any of us. So before judgement is passed on the "unethical" way that UD is handling a particular player, you may want to look beyond the simple argument that we "owe' it to a kid. We only "owe" something to a kid if he maintains excellence on and off the court. It is a two way street. Not a one way where a kid gets a free pass to not cut it on the court.

If a kid is a 4.0 student, do you keep him if he doesn't do what he signed up to do on the court? Student athlete has two facets...if a player only wants to be part of one of them, he can pack his bags.
