It's interesting to read all the opinions about Hart's suspensions and Keller's rules, but how much do we really know about the situation? Personally, I know nothing about Hart other than he wasn't at the last game. Additionally, I don't know why McDaniels hasn't been on the bench lately. I like both players and certainly hope they contribute to the success of our team this year (Hart) and in the future (both). Let's remember that we are dealing with freshmen who have most likely lived away from home for the first time in their lives. They are inundated with school, practice, games, traveling, and rules. Not all freshmen are mature when they first set foot on campus. I know I wasn't. I hope all of our team members remain at SFA and that we exhibit a certain amount of patience as we watch them grow as basketball players and as men.
I don't disagree with anything you said. Although it was decades ago, I vividly remember what an interesting time my first semester was.
However, I was recently visiting with the dad of a freshman softball player, and he is blown away by the amount of support and resources the scholarship players have. Academics, trainers, medical, etc. Being a full time student-athlete is tough. They do have support and resources that are not afforded to the regular student. If they choose to not avail themselves of the opportunity, and not follow the rules, shame on them.
