I think Aaric Murray also said that his primary goal was to get a degree, am I right? My guess it can be hard to get a your degree in many of these basketball-first mills; unless you are a gifted student, blessed with a strong school background. So he chose a school with a less high powered program.

Seems like maybe we should tip out hats to him, instead of ripping the kid.

I’m a LaSalle grad too and have lived in Philly all my life. I think in general, the town gets a bad rap as having a toxic press. Except for some (not you Ike) of the radio shows that are built on disparaging, I’d say we field a solid, well informed sports press corps. But this throw off line would be a poster child for that other point of view – “having trouble working a door knob?” whats with that?

It sounds like Aaric has soft hands and a gift for the game. Welcome to town kid, wishing you a great athletic and academic career.
