    I played basketball with him a few weeks ago. Shocking.

    Great kid...worked so hard to get to Western Carolina out of a JUCO powerhouse.

    Man that sucks. It's so strange to hear of young, healthy guys dying of unexpected heart attack.
    I couldn't help laughing at his name though.

    Shame, what the Hell is going on with these college players? It's like there is at least one of the stories during every college offseason/preseason. Is this far more common then I thought or is there something else going on here?

    It'll be interesting to see if he has the same sickle cell trait thats been causing other deaths amongst athletes.
