Pretty interesting stuff. The remainder of the article is here: http://www.lsureveille.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/03/08/422d442e87db8
this is a tough young man....I wont think any less of him if he leaves after this year...he deserves the best...but dangit I want him to stay for just one more year.
We have a lot of classy guys. Sure players like Lloreda will always come and go, but look at guys like Torris Bright, Ronald Dupree, Collis Temple, Antonio Hudson, I can go on and on and on about all of these guys. Shaq coming back to get his education is probably the FIRST thing that comes to mind when I think of the "class" passing through LSU.
I think you'll catch some hell for using Shaq and Class in the same sentence. Someone will bring up his fight with Kinchen or something like that. I think Shaq is a pretty class guy. Sure , I dont think he's so big that he can drop F bombs on tv and all that, but he seems to be a pretty good guy. He did come back and get his diploma which some wouldnt do. But, I would also venture to guess he had a lot of work done for him in school too. But, that happens with many major athletes. I would take shaq over a lot of the guys in the NBA right now. I was impressed with his Xmas gift give away to the kids in Los Angeles. He was just going house to house giving bikes and all kinds of stuff.
