Skal Labissiere drops social media for training, studying

[WACB]

Whatever you do, don’t say Skal Labissiere isn’t taking his Kentucky future seriously.

On Tuesday, Labissiere officially swore off all social media for the forthcoming two months — from now until the 15th of August — so he could focus on training for the 2015-16 college basketball season and his academic future at Kentucky, a process which is in his immediate view as summer school kicks off.

Labissiere isn’t the first athlete to drop social media for more pressing issues — LeBron James is famously on a Twitter and Instagram break during the NBA playoffs — but it’s a whole different animal when an 18-year-old tries to walk away from all social media cold turkey. It will be some impressive feat if Labissiere makes it all the way through the summer session without a Tweet or Instagrammed selfie.

Then again, Labissiere knows he has a serious future, and he’s ready to get down to brass tacks. These days, that begins in summer school, so there’s no time like the present.

Love the commitment from this kid. His talent alone is a tremendous game-changer that could potentially bring us a title. Glad to see that his mentality, focus, and determination is on par with his talent in that regard.

I imagine every coach in the country would like his players to do the same. Fans might feel differently.

All this young man needs to do is to get stronger and the sky's the limit.
