Re: Cody Larson II....
I'll give Stu some credit, he wrote a pretty good column about another wasted opportunity and so on.
Here is why some people including myself attack the SuFu media, because since he was in the 8th grade he was tagged as the great ole mighty, any time he got in any trouble it was just a kid being a kid or something. And it was excuse after excuse by certain people (not everyone). This kid has unbelievable talent, talent that I'd give parts of my body not allowed to be mentioned to have, and it appears that he has thrown it down the toilet, and yet will probably still get another chance because of it. Every(most) kid gets in to trouble, but when you are a D-I athlete you are subject to the criticism that comes with it.
I will say this if Mike Miller went to college today with the 24 hour news cycle, the social media and everything that his image might not be what it was today.

This incident involving Cody has not been discussed on my show. It has not even been mentioned. The off court problems of a 19 year old kid, even if he is a high profile athlete, is not something I choose to cover.
Could that change? Maybe. However, I have had 19 year olds that made mistakes and would not want that played out in a public forum. I can't stop it, but that does not mean I have to contribute to it.
I think this rotten weather has gotten the best of your usual jovial nature, Nidaros.
Did your show cover the USF college athletes who got themselves into trouble earlier this year?
If not, I commend you for having standards and sticking to them.

Experience in life is everything, and unfortunately, Cody is about to experience some bad experience. Stu and the Argus are really in a stew now. How do you spin this one?
What really seems so sad is that he had a high GPA in high school and a good score on ACT. Something is lacking here. Where is the family support system?

As for family support system, Cody's parents have been divorced for several years.
In fact I am laughing at you guys as you spin away on Sports Talk and the other media outlets. Parenting or the lack of it appears to be an issue with Cody and whoever had custody can now be very proud of themselves or very regretfull for doing such a horrible job.

That team manager seems like a decent kid though and was just caught up in the wrong group. I hope he's able to keep going after his dream.
