Yuri Wright started a firestorm last week when he was expelled for a series of sexually graphic and racial Tweets, from his private Twitter account (HS Football Star Yuri Wright Expelled Over “I Need Some P*ssy” Tweets)
Michigan revoked their scholarship offer and it was rumored Rutgers did the same, but Wright has landed on his feet at the University of Colorado.
Cornerback Yuri Wright, the 40th-ranked player on the ESPNU 150, has committed to Colorado, his former high school coach confirmed Tuesday.
Wright was kicked out of Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J., Jan. 18 after sexually graphic and racial posts on his Twitter account came to light.
“This is a positive thing. Definitely a huge positive going to Colorado,” Don Bosco coach Greg Toal told ESPNNewYork.com. ” . . . This is an opportunity for him to resurrect his life in a lot of ways and a good opportunity to be successful at the next level.”
While I have made it known that I think Wright was railroaded (the school confirms while they have a conduct policy, they do not check every single student or staff social media sites) I hope he has learned his lesson.
When you are a public figure, even if you are in High School the WORLD is watching, you can’t afford to make any mistakes.
Hope he does well at Colorado and if he decides to get back on Twitter he keeps his sexual conquests to himself.
