Let me make this simple. You can speculate and spread rumors all you want. What is a fine young man to do when he finds himself in the presence of others his age that are behaving poorly and unethically? What's a kid to do when the adults that are in charge of supervising and disciplining do nothing? What's one to do when only a portion of the boys on a team or kids in a group are doing what is best for the team or behaving in a way that reflects poorly on the group to the community? Well first you can try to ignore it and look the other way, then you might bring it to the attention of the adults that these kids look to for guidance. If that doesn't work you do what's best for your own future and distance yourself from these issues and get back to focusing on keeping your hands clean, being diligent about your studies and working hard to be part of a team that works as a team and with leaders that insist they do so.
Jesse just happened to make the paper but he isn't the first student athlete to leave Stevi recently for the same reasons and it looks like at least a couple other good kids will follow. We could only wish U of M will recruit him and more kids like him with his focus, determination, stellar behavior and morals.
Anyone who has children will understand this. If you are a good teenager, stay in the company of other good teenagers. Don't think for a second it wasn't a very hard choice for him to make, walking away at this point from a school he attended and was loyal to since kindergarten.
Nuff said.
