Eddie was a person who I always looked up to with high regard. Since u-11 he always taught us that dignity, itegrity, and respect were just as important as our play on the field. He always discouraged kids who wanted to leave the club and preached to us that we had the talent we needed to be successful right here in Columbia. After hearing the news about how Eddie had abandoned many of the kids he helped bring through that club, I was more dissapointed than anything else. How could he go directly against something he had so adamantly preached to all of us? I almost feel like he abandoned us. And to reiterate a point Dhunter made; Eddie promises a lot, but produces a little.
