Left Umass undermanned so he could improve his "draft stock" it's always about him, I know opinions of him differ.. But I am certainly not a fan

He was a kid who made decisions that you didn't like. I'm glad there wasn't a message board dissecting my decisions when I was young. They would have had a lot to talk about. I'm not throwing any stones. Good luck Derrick.

Also, last I heard, being a firefighter, you help out the community and keep those around you safe, so I don't think this is a move about him in the long run.

Best of luck to him. Sounds like he's matured and has decided to go into a tough, but rewarding profession. I don't dislike him, but I'm not a "huge fan" of his either. I think most people really didn't care if he was gay or not (in a good way). Now if he were the first openly gay college basketball player who could shoot 40% from behind the arc that would have been something.

@Joshua_Newman @NJHoopsHaven I doubt it had anything to do with his inability to shoot >30% from 3PT or >60% from the FT Line.....

It is actually a shame that he had to take it there..... He really has/had delusions of grandeur regarding his basketball abilities. His statement may or may not be accurate, but he wasn't getting any run with any team regardless.

Re: KAEO: Derrick Gordon
Good Christ. In a world full of young basketball players who have delusions of grandeur, DG stands alone. Get a clue, Derrick.

I really thought I was a shoe-in to play baseball except that my career little league batting average was .185 and my high school fastball clocked in at 68-MPH.
