Yes this is Kenyon Murray

I came to Iowa with all the accolades and people (myself included) would say I was a disappointment based on my "ranking".

You have more basketball talent in your off-hand pinkie finger than the rest of us message board yahoos have in our entire bodies. Even as a Cyclone fan, I loved watching you play. Congratulations to your family and your boys. I'm sure they will be great players, and even better representatives of the University, much like their father. I'll be cheering for them for every game except one a year.

I've actually thought about this before, but I'm not sure I could handle being the parent of a college athlete in the modern age. The amount of anonymous Internet and social media criticism these kids have to endure at such a young age is sometimes staggering. Luckily for me, my kids athletic ability matches my own, so I won't need to worry about it.
