Former Tech forward Coleman Collins now plays abroad and also contributes to ESPN's True Hoop blog. Today he penned an excellent essay on the Thabo Sefolosha situation (here's some background if you're unfamiliar).
It's a quick read, but both reflective and thought-provoking.

Glad a VT alum is having success, but I don't go to ESPN to get my thoughts provoked. I'd prefer they just did the sports.
I'm with you ... usually i only go to ESPN for a score or to read how magical it is that Nick Saban can rebuild his offensive line every year with an obscene number of 5 star recruits. you might be doing yourself a disservice in this case, however. well written article describing a perspective not many of us experience. it broadened my horizons FWIW.
Thank you for sharing! Coleman Collins is a talented and insightful writer. I need to read his articles more often. Reading his articles makes me just as proud that he has come from Virginia Tech as his contributions to our basketball program (if not more so). I still read his article about 4/16 on that day every year.
Same. This one and Chris Fowler's are my two that I find the most relatable.
He has a way with words for sure. Wonder if he'll write a novel or ten after retiring from basketball.
He's a good guy. I played intramural softball with him. He has probably read every book in Newman Library. But one thing is for sure, when a guy that tall plays softball pitch it low, he'll pop up every time.
