Are we piling on?

Somehow we missed this before but Gary Parrish's blog had this snippet about the now departed Johnny Higgins:

NEW MEXICO STATE’S OFF-COURT TROUBLES CONTINUE

"...Now freshman guard Johnny Higgins, according to sources, has been kicked out of the program for his role in a pair of altercations..."

Two?

An ESPN scouting report describes Higgins thusly: "...an extremely powerful point guard who is able to out-muscle virtually any opposing lead guard..." and "...his best work comes at the defensive end of the floor where his size and quickness, along with his tough and aggressive nature..."

We obviously have no idea if the blowups happened on or off the court and understand that altercations do happen, especially nowadays and at that age. While we certainly don't wish to go after an 18-year-old there clearly are some anger management issues that he had better address before his basketball recruiting gets curtailed or even worse.
