Major Wingate Drafted

[615 Vol]

It looks like Scooter McFadgon got drafted in the 5th round. I didn't know he was still playing basketball.

19k will buy him enough weed to stay happy. A terrible waste of talent.

Wow, he was making like 100K+ over seas. They only pay 19K in D-League? What a waste. Plus, he's got so many kids in the U.S., he'll be garnished 9.75K a year, that is if he can stay out of jail. A girl I went to high school with had a court date with him 2 weeks ago that he didn't show up to. A1 bail bonds is on that A! ha

Exactly. I mean how many student-athletes go out and drink, and that is perfectly acceptable; yet alcohol is much more damaging to society and infinitely more deadly.

I don't know what his habits were with the drug, and it's certainly very feasible to think that it at least partially interfered with game, but there's just no way of knowing if it actually limited his potential. It's just a shame things went that way, because with Wingate I think we could have made the Elite Eight.

If there is one topic concerning recent UT basketball history that I'd like to declare a permanent moratorium on, it would be this.

This title is misleading. I thought you meant he was drafted in the NBA. So therefore, you're a moron.

Fact: Major Wingate was drafted.

Opinion: Looks like Tobias to WVU.
