Figured I'd create an account real quick to defend my younger brother.
First and foremost, I am not surprised about the sarcastic and comical comments I'm reading in this thread.
Second, he's a good kid who made a mistake. A mistake that has people like you judging him before you've ever met or interacted with him. It's a mistake that he has now had to live with, a question he must continue to answer during every recruiting visit and a mistake that is subjecting him to jeers and chants wherever he goes and competes.
To answer the one poster's comments about why the information got out being that he was a minor, the county we reside in, has a record of charging minors as adults. The seriousness of the events were not what prompted him being tried as an adult, it was for the convenience of the trial and a precedent that the county established a long time ago.
With that being said, I grew up a Miami Hurricanes fan as did he. It has always been one of his dream schools. However, there hasn't been much interest from Miami in the last year or so. He went on an unofficial visit after freshman and sophomore years. The latter, he through next to Olsen and was there every step of the way. He made every throw Olsen did, and did so being a year younger. He still gets the normal daily mailers from Miami, but nothing really more.
I know I will probably get heat coming on here, trying to defend my younger brother but so be it. Just couldn't stand him being criticized by a bunch of people hiding behind a keyboard.
