We, the university of St. George basketball team staff need a change. We need to get rid of the players that plague our program, in order to recruit quality athletes that will affect our program ethically more than athletically. We have dominated division IV basketball for many years, however overachieving athletes that underachieve academically, ethically and morally have been the reason for our athletic success. Our players have been punks. That is not what this outstanding university was founded on. Our motto since the schools inauguration in 1911 has been and is “Veritatem cognoscetis et veritas te liberbabit” translated from Latin: “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free”.

As a sophomore he had successful years on both the football and basketball teams, spending the majority of the time on the court and field as a big part of the game. I acknowledge that he was a two-sport athlete and developed toughness and an edge that football brings; however, from now …show more content…
He was still one of the leaders of the team, however he did not seem to live up to the potential he had as an underclassman. He averaged a shade under seven points per game and only tallied a few rebounds and assists per game as well. He did however manage to lead as the game high scorer with seventeen points in the first round of the Utah state tournament. Although he did not have the type of season a typical recruit of ours would have, it has been three years since his last season as a high school basketball player.
