Former BYU Forward Brandon Davies, who was recently dismissed from the team due to an honor code violation, lashed out at former teammate and star player Jimmer Fredette early Tuesday night. Davies, the team's leading rebounder, was kicked off the team this week for having premarital sex with his girlfriend. It was a devastating blow for a team that was challenging for a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.

Reports indicate that Fredette and Davies were out partying on Saturday night at a local bar. Witnesses say that Davies, who was heavily intoxicated, told Fredette he was "sick of being a virgin" and "wanted to finally fuck his girlfriend." Fredette, who was also intoxicated, apparently promised Davies that he would also have sex with someone that night. They both agreed that their experiences would be worth the possible consequences from the school.
In the end, only Davies ended up following through on their ultimatum, and only Davies was dismissed from the team. Fredette, who did not receive punishment for in-season drinking, finds himself on the wrong end of a friendship gone awry.

"I didn't intend to make such a strong promise to Brandon," Fredette responded. "I was completely trashed that night. I really had no idea what I was saying. That should be excuse enough."
Jackson Emery, Fredette's senior partner in the backcourt, was saddened by the school's decision to dismiss Davies. "I can't believe that they would actually boot him off the team for something so trivial. It's something that every college kid does. Besides, it was his girlfriend. It's not like he nailed some hooker on the street and got an STD."
However, Emery did point out some positives from the situation. "In the end, Jimmer is still on the team, which really helps our chances to make a run in the tournament. Plus, I honestly thought Jimmer was gay, so it's good to know that he actually does like girls. But really, have you ever heard of a guy named Jimmer who was straight?"
Straight or not, Fredette certainly has a lot of pressure on his shoulders knowing he was partially responsible for his teammate's dismissal.
