sad to see even his 2nd chance hasn't panned out.

Edit- 3rd chance

Some people refuse to help themselves, wonder what he was involved in this time.

Bragg did graduate

DG playing on fox Kc or Midwest, royals channel.

Wish he would get out of his own way... Come on Bragg, finish strong.

Another allegation uncomfortably similar. Easy target after the KU stuff? Or more to Carlton than we wanted to believe?

@mayjay You would think he would avoid bad situations with women after what happened at KU but I know some people just can't seem to break those patterns.

Bragg raises all his problems from KU, Arizona St too a new low. Arrested for DWI and Mary Jane. What a waste. Pray he gets some help

that's a shame, some kids just don't get it. - -Then again some kids just don't care. - - He JUST GOT reinstated and now suspended - -AGAIN ?

And UNM dismissed him. It’s obvious he has issues. Hopefully he can get the help he obviously needs. Always was such a nice kid when I’d see him around Lawrence those years ago. Very good pianist as well. Heard him play a few times at the Union. What a waste.

@FarmerJayhawk he really does need help, I hope somebody reaches out! He has some talent to make him some money, but he needs to fix his life first.

For sure. I know he’s a good kid at heart, just needs to address his issues. For basketball and beyond.

@FarmerJayhawk remember the smiley kid playing the piano at late pm? Did his trouble start here?

For sure! It might’ve. I didn’t know any red flags out of HS but we all know people who started getting into trouble in college.

Part of me feels sad for this situation but half of me is pissed. I had to work my a** off to be an average player and someone with a fair share of god given talent pisses it all away. A privilege people seldom talk about is one that good athletes can get 3, 4 or even 5 chances while several are lucky to get a single one. Hopefully he checks himself somewhere to get some help.

@kjayhawks "Hopefully he checks himself somewhere to get some help."

Seems entirely possible he will have that opportunity, but not likely he will be checking himself in. ☹

@mayjay that’s kinda my issue with the multiple slaps on the wrist and more than chances than an average Joe would get. Maybe if he actually got in trouble for his ways he’d change them.

Not sure if anyone watched the Aaron Hernandez documentary on Netflix. But part of his issues stemmed him getting away with stuff at Florida. Crazy to think that such a religious guy in Tebow kept those guys in it to win a title. That team had drug dealers, women beaters and a murderer on it, that’s just the stuff we know about. Still pisses me off Urban Meyer gotta way with sweeping all of that under the rug and bolting.

Tebow and the convicts.
