Mental Health is code word for I am not a starter.
This is the kind of mentality that we need to get rid of as a culture. Who are you say he was lying about mental health issues? The kid had every right to put his mental health first. I'm glad that the younger generation is starting to recognize that.
DJ not starting has potential for big problems. Kid obviously has major elite capabilities and should not be on the line behind McEwen.Kid already quit one team over playing time issues. Mental Health is code word for I am not a starter. Not saying there is a problem with this now. But at some point we are looking at another Kobe King situation. Or DJ taking his free year and going to a coach with more common sense .
So stupid...
You are a teacher and around kids that play sports . They get worked up about this stuff . There were some initial tweets from Carton at the time complaining he did not fit into Ohio States plans . That means he was pissed off about his role.
Trump is on his way OUT ! ! ! Maybe you should be too !! !
I'm also around students who email me to say "I'm going through a rough patch right now, sorry I wasnt paying attention in class." If a kid tells me their mental health is suffering, I'm going to go out of my way to accommodate them, because mental health is that important. Kids can't learn if their heads are in the wrong place. I don't know much about sports psychology, but I gotta imagine it's the same.Could angry tweets have been a reflection of depression or anxiety? Absolutely. Assuming that someone is lying about their mental health issues is the pinnacle of not giving a crap about other people.
Remember Nick Noskowiak . Said he had mental health issues which really was an excuse for other problems. I was ripped on this board for pointing that out early before it all came out . Then people apologized What I am saying is DJ is an extremely elite player . I would hate to see Wojo inadvertently throw literally one of the top players in the Big East under the bus .Carton is the kid who leads us places because he has the speed to compete with real teams . Got to keep him happy.
