Jereme Richmond Saga The Latest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://chicago.sbnation.com/illinois-fighting-illini/2011/8/11/2356900/strange-saga-of-jereme-richmond-takes-a-sad-twist. This is one of many stories the past few days about the downfall of Jereme Richmond. I have out of town for two weeks and just heard the story late Wednesday night. I was a little surprised but not alot that something like this could happen. The disappointment of not getting drafted, not getting out of Waukegan and signing a contract overseas ASAP, and also trying to figure out what he was going to do next. Hanging around with troublemakers in a community where you was a superstar are recipes for trouble. I listened to a podcast on ESPNChicago.com with Steve Bardo talking about Jereme Richmond. One thing I do find disturbing about Illinois is they diagnosed him with bi-polar disorder. If that was the case why didn't they try and help him control it? It is an easily treatable ailment with the right medicine. Seems to me like the University of Illinois didn't do enough to help him with this condition. It explains alot the fights in high school and at the University of Illinois. Yes most of the fault is on Jereme granted, but seems like people did not do enough to help him either. I just hope for his sake that he can get the help he needs now, (maybe anger management) that could control the bi-polar disorder he was diagnosed with and be able to put his basketball talents to good use.  Also many people in the media and others wanted to see this kid fail. Why? Because you didn't like his attitude, or he wasn't friendly with some of the members of the media? Yes Jereme has to face the music for what he did this week, but I for one hope he gets it together and can get some assistance from the legal system now that he's officially in it. This could someday be a beneficial thing for his life, not necessarily is basketball career. If he can get his life together those two will go hand in hand. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Creatures.
