Nearly everyone in the room went from one side to the other after stopping to think critically about the article.

What are the actual facts behind the story? No idea. They might line up with exactly what the guy is implying. But we know very little more after reading this than before.

Frankly, I'm not sure what additional advantages one would think is appropriate for someone in basketball and football beyond having everyone in the region know your name and face, along with a bit of hero worship. Not enough advantages to go along with free college?
Critical Thinking? That's sooooo 1980's. Today it's all about feelings and victimization so let's all smile and feel sorry for Ryan because he may or may not have hit a bump on the road of life.

NOT! Ryan's doing fine and will forever have an honorary seat at the Royal Roundtable! Who, besides the King, vividly recalls his steal, behind the back dribble and dunk vs GW as a senior!?! Definitely a UD Top 10 Play!
