Then after that he was told he could not play at the Division I level. Then after ninth and tenth grade he was told he would never play varsity. He was told that in the fifth and sixth grades that even though he was good then, that he would be passed up by the ninth and tenth grades. Whether it was he being viewed as not athletic enough, not quick enough, not strong enough or not talented enough, he has heard it all.
How does a person push Dusty Rychart aside? How do they discourage him enough that he does not come back? How do they get him down and keep him that way? Not a single person has been able to figure that out yet, though it has been tried many times throughout his basketball career to no success.īeing doubted and dusted aside is nothing new to Rychart as he has been dealing with it since he was in the fifth grade. Rather than saying "I told you so," Dusty is content to realize that he believed in himself and has accomplished everything he has set out to do, even when the people around him did not. Yes, Dusty Rychart has turned all the doubters into believers through sheer will, hard work and determination. He had to fight for that chance when no one else thought he could. From that perspective it is easy to see how those views could be formed about Dusty, but what it really means is that the kid was never given a chance. You guys haven't learned that you must not judge a book by its cover. You knew he was going to become the player he presently is.
The same people that believed his best days were behind him in the fifth and sixth grades knew he would be leading the Gophers in scoring and rebounding for three straight years, right? Same as the people who saw him as a scrawny walk-on his first season here. I mean it is quite all right that you all are changing your stories now, seeing that it is human nature to try to cover up mistakes anyway possible. It just turned out that he is going to go down as one of the best players in Minnesota history, but all you doubters saw that right? You always knew that he would be at this point in his career. He was never believed to be talented enough, fast enough, strong enough, or athletic enough or anything else remotely associated with being a good basketball player in your eyes. By not believing in him and not seeing that he had the heart and desire to do anything he put his mind to, you only served as motivation to be proven wrong. To all the people that have doubted Dusty Rychart during the course of his career, in an odd way, you have helped him get to the point he is currently at.
