A red-headed former college hoops role player, who says he was drinking while tweeting Wednesday night, delivered pointed criticism of the NCAA and claims to have fixed a drug test for a teammate.
Garrick Sherman, who began his college career at Michigan State and finished in 2014 at Notre Dame, just completed his first year of pro ball. He's over in Georgia, the country. He did pretty well for himself one season in, it seems.
Professing to be tweeting while impaired, Sherman says he used his urine for a teammate to keep said teammate eligible for the NCAA Tournament; past enraged memories of Tom Izzo; claims common marijuana usage among former teammates and men's basketball players in general. Then he dares to the NCAA to do something.
First, he says he's been drinking, since his season just ended:
Yes I know my tweets have been more risqué than usual. Our season ended today so I may or may not have consumed some alcohol.

Then he claims he 'fixed' a drug test for a teammate:
I pissed in a condom and gave it to Durrell summers to pass a drug test. Suck it #NCAA #stillwenttothefinalfour #suckstobeyou

NCAA could do hair test any day of the week and actually be a real organization but who would wanna take the top 25 players from the tourney

Before he really gets into his NCAA tirade, he notes marijuana use at Michigan State, specificially:
Izzo might actually hate me more ( if that’s possible) when he loses scholarships cause I drunkenly spilled half his team smoked weed

It's okay people. NCAA student athletes smoke weed, avoid drug tests, I know it's hard to believe they're human. But I swear we are

His parting shot:
My beef is with the NCAA NOT MSU. Good night Twitter, you never fail to disappoint (FYI it's 4:43 am in Georgia)
