I’m in a rare situation where I know someone very close to Kyle and his girlfriend and this is what they had to say about it -
“Their parents are family friends, so they grew up pretty close. Her dad was in the military so they ended up moving away so she wasn’t in his life for a while. She popped back up his senior year of high school when he got national recognition (#5) and turned 18… she was 24 or 25 at the time. Started dating, went to prom together, and at this same time her parents (big Mormons) told Kyle’s that “she is good for him and would take good care of him at Duke. Keep him out of drugs, keep him from partying, etc.” His parents immediately got a red flag given the timing of her coming back in his life and given the things they were saying.
She bought a house next to dukes campus, walked with him to and from every class, he slept at her house and spent every moment there, she wouldn’t let him hangout with teammates or attend team activities. She went to EVERY game, home and away. Told him that his family was bad for him, that they were holding him back, they were against her, etc. So he cut everyone off, twin brother included all last year before march madness of his freshman year.
He gave all tickets to her, her friends and her family. “
That’s fucking crazy, assuming it’s true. Not “allowing” him to hang out with his teammates? That’s nuts bro. Camaraderie in a sport where only five guys play at once is so important and she appears to have ripped that away from him. Isolating the victim is a known a super and groomer tactic and this reeks of that. Again, assuming it’s true, I’m taking all of this at face value.
