Louisville says goodbye to Caracter...

[ecompt]

apparently the school's rigorous academic standrds were too much for him

[Markusquette]

Good, I didn't like him anyway.  Unless he comes here.   

[farmdaddy]

He was just plain trashy

[spiral97]

Any rumors linking him to gatorade commercials now?

He'll be in Europe or the NBDL if he's lucky.  I loved this paragraph from his DraftExpress profile.  If you click the link in the article it brings you to his UofL bio page.  Pretty pathetic when a player has so many issues they get mentioned on his school bio, and outnumber anything positive he accomplished.

Most college athletes have things like "enjoys playing chess," and "feeds homeless children in his free time" on their college bio--Caracter has "Missed 16 games as a freshman due to off the court issues, playing in 18 games overall...missed five days in late December when he was given an indefinite leave of absence by Pitino so he could address personal issues...missed six games in Jan./Feb. after breaking the contract he had signed to remain on the team" and "Lost more than 50 pounds, down from 318 pounds when he arrived on campus as a freshman, to his playing weight of 265 with less than 10 percent body fat" on his.
