Guys, just my opinion. I think that the Yuri tweets indicate he's too-something to understand that the things he said are not allowed in today's society. Any gay slur, 'N' word, and anything else he tweeted are very, very taboo in today's culture, and the fact that he willingly displayed them for all to see shows lack of intelligence, maturity, and decision making.
Giving Starks the benefit of the doubt, I assume this is an isolated incident (i.e., he's not a drug addict), I'm also assuming it was a 'user's' amount (i.e., he's not mass producing and selling it). This is definitely poor judgement for anyone, but especially someone with scholarships on the line. I'm also assuming, unlike Yuri, that Starks KNEW this was wrong, and didn't flaunt it like Yuri did his tweets. This at the very least shows that Starks knows right from wrong, and what's allowed and what's not. Again, he screwed up and made poor judgement, but Yuri was so dumb he didn't think what he did was wrong, and blatantly let everyone see it.
If I'm an admissions adviser, I understand that 80% of kids try drugs in high school. If it was a one time thing and he quits and never gets caught, I understand that. I don't understand someone doing something blatantly wrong, showing poor judgement, and also not caring if anyone knows. That, IMO, shows that this kid is not capable of making 'adult' decisions.
How many of you have tried drugs in high school? How many sent out tweets or facebook posts about the 'N' word, gay slurs, or degrading woman to a serious degree?
