Days like today are never easy.
I woke up early this morning to the news that former Clemson point guard Demontez Stitt had passed away, and there was just no way I could go back to sleep. I kept seeing “Buddy” and remembering all of the games and the interviews and the times when we would make fun of each other. Losing someone so young, so full of life and energy, is never easy.
Teammates remember Stitt as the one who kept the team loose, even in the most difficult of times. He was the first one to throw verbal jabs at a teammate who had been the subject of a coach’s wrath, and he was the first one to make fun of himself when he was the target.
