He attended Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in New Britain, CT. It was an independent Catholic school, not a prep school and "prep school" was not part of the school's official name. (I attended this school with him and graduated from that institution.) 2601:188:4001:210:E81B:A388:7931:F841 (talk) 00:28, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done
Please note that while this was done, it was changed based on the sources we have. Normally we would never change something based on someone's personal experiences (see WP:OR) however I managed to salvaged the dead refs from the section and they never say that the school is a prep school. I believe there was some confusion seeing as the St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a prep school. --Stabila711 (talk) 05:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

This page doesn't mention anything about Lamar's tax problems with the IRS. In November 2010, Lamar sued the IRS because it disallowed his tax deductions of $12,000 in sports fines and another $178,000 in conditioning expenses. He later successfully defended his conditioning expenses and the matter related to fines is still pending. I would like to add this to his wikipedia page and have a source. Please allow me access.
