I'm not really familiar with what went on behind the scenes, but did Grant not recruit Cousins because of character issues? I've heard that Grant factors character in when recruiting players, did he see something in Cousins that other coaches didn't? Anyways, just wanted to know what the "Bad Situation" was....

I sat next to a scout for the Phoenix Suns at the LSU/UT game last week and he told me that Cousins was an absolute head case. I asked the scout if it was true that Cousins punched a high school coach in the face, and his response was "yes, and an assistant coach for UK punched him in the face last week."

I didn't recall hearing about it on ESPN or this site, so I guess they did a very good job of keeping it under wraps.

LMAO..You go arounf posting lies on a message Board @ kid. Unless you sat court side you didn't speak to an NBA Scout. Leave it to an LSU douche that got skull fricked all over the court to post ish!

Loser.

You wanna bet on him being a lottery pick? Didn't think so...

Sure you did. Do you have courtside seats?

Everyone knows he punched a high school coach. No UK coach punched him though. End of story.

I would venture to guess that you are in the class of "head case" as well. Not a stretch IMHO...

Why don't you stay off the computer 'til football season.

At least we've won the SEC in basketball in recent memory. When's the last time UK did it in football?

Hothead, yes. Thug, no.

I had a temper like him at one point, and I was certainly not a thug.

Funny...for a lot of reasons.

Anyway, it's also interesting how Caucasians seem to be real comfortable with the term "Thug".

Cousins did hit his h.s. coach---that is a FACT. This was at Erwin, and the coach is a highly respected member of the community.

I cheer your waffling.

It's a pejorative term that is used out of context. I digress, and concede. It's a no win.
