Like Sean Rooney, another sad story of a kid with real talent who couldn't get it together.

I grew up in a rough neighborhood. Lived on the Newark border when the riots broke out. Had to fight my way home from school most days when I was 13-14 years old because there was always someone who felt he had something to prove. So I understand these guys a little, because I know a lot of people who ended up the same way, and it's only by the grace of God that things worked out differently for me. And those who have been around the board a long time and remember how combative I could be in times past, well, now you know the rest of the story. 

I liked Jack a lot as a player. Reminded me of a young Dave DeBusschere with his tenacity around the rim. I hope he can turn things around in his life.

I sometimes look back at the Porter years & wonder what might have been.  I remember that his recruiting class of Jack May, Kevin Forney, Devin Montgomery, & Brad Midgely was considered one of the top recruiting classes in the A-10.  But they never played even one game together.  By the time May became academically eligible, Montgomery had flunked out of school.

Thanks for posting the article.  When TV was signed last year I thought about May and Montgomery, and wondered if TV would last more than the 1 year (and less) that they did.  Was wondering what happened to both of them, basketball wise.  Never would have guessed full contact fighting.
