Baldi how do you know for sure that he is "quitting" on the team. I have a solid notion of what occurred last year, and things turned around after the holiday break. My understanding of the current situation is that while Sheed is still showing signs of immaturity, it is not the same landscape as last year, and that generally speaking his teammates really like him. I doubt they would if he was flat out quitting , especially with this having the potential to be a really good year. Again, I don't, and will never know 100%, because I'm not around the team enough. So I'm a bit hesitant to get on the kid, particularly given the life he has had, and remain hopefully that he will keep his head on straight and use basketball as a means to improve his family's life.
And speaking for others I find it ironic that you get all over this kid at the first opportunity, but your big man Laury gets arrested and all you care about is the stat line. He is a punk. And having friends who know your Associate AD (Mr. Beyer) quite well, the Gaels have their share of questionable characters that you rout for without giving two S***s.
