WE KICKED SHAQ OFF THE TEAM?

There's more than one person named Shaq? 

I don't know the names of any of our basketball players.  Korvotney Barber?  He still playing?

Shit that's actually starting to get to me.  I tutored him the summer before his freshman year.  He was the only one of the four that I actually liked.  Can't remember the other names.  Rasheem something and one named Joey.

Very sad news. One of those names that sticks with you and he was a fine ball player.

Wots from a buddy of mine in Manchester (where barber is from) is saying the story up there is that it was possibly the result from a jet ski accident in the pcb/destin area. Not sure but that's the rumor up there.

Rasheem Barrett  and Joey Cameron (transferred to Seton Hall after one year).

From all accounts, Vot was a great guy and good teammate. Was still playing professionally in Europe.
