    Wow, what a bunch of babies. Look, this kid isn't a 12 year old little girl gymnast. He's an 18 year old young man who has been highly recruited by schools across the country. He knows exactly what he signed up for. He had many excellent options, hours of wooing, advice, and consideration. And he chose Xavier, temporarily.
    Meanwhile, Xavier chases kids around the country, selling the excellence of the school and the program. We are lucky enough to have a young man commit to X, a way of life, a group of teammates, and we justifiably depend on that young man's commitment. But then he decides to quit? To leave? That he's "homesick" or that some other commitment has suddenly become more important?
    I'm sorry, but I don't applaud that behavior. This kid left a program and a group of other young men high and dry. One of you told me to "fuck off" - which is exactly what Ridder said to Xavier, and Trevon Blueitt, and Chris Mack.
    I'm not happy about it, and I think this kid owes Xavier an apology. he doesn't owe ME anything, but he owes Chris Mack and every coach and team member a personal, heartfelt apology. Pretty sure that ain't happening based on what I've seen of this kid's character so far.

    Good point - it could be that I've been a moderator here for almost ten years despite being a huge Dayton fan.

    Aww. That's touching. The depth of your sensitivity is impressive. I'll be sure to turn in my reflection paper.

    ENTIRELY out of line, or just a little? Grow up Roadlife.


    Coddle this defenseless innocent little boy all you want, but he fucked over a lot of people. Would be funny to see what some of you people would think if X told Ridder that they had changed their minds and revoked his scholarship.

    I wish Ridder the exact amount of luck I wish other non-Xavier players.

    I will say, that only giving this a month or so of school and not sticking it out for at least a year is very strange. Borderline soft and weak.

    You are the snowflake for getting upset a 18 year old kid made a decision that effects his life. Grow the f u ck up.

    Coaches don't make Xavier, Xavier makes coaches.

    I do think it is funny that you hear the people calling people "snowflakes" complaining more about things than the people they call snowflakes. And saying that Ridder needs to apologize? Seems like a pretty "snowflake" thing to ask.

    Maybe we need to change the Jesuit motto to "Men and women for others, unless they do something we don't like, in which case, screw 'em"

    That said, best of luck to the young man! I hope he gets whatever he was looking for by choosing to leave X. I for one am sad to see him go.

    I think he's doing a parody of 45.
