Best of luck to him

While I would have loved to have gotten him, I'm not too disappointed. Reading his comments he has zero interest in school and sounds like he wants to live a "pro" lifestyle. I wish more kids with that attitude would skip college.

You're right NotO. He unabashedly said what many other OADs likely feel - no interest in college and the headache of classes. I just want to play and get ready for the draft. College hoops got a little bit better today.

I just want to add my concur to everyone else on the thread. If he has no interest in going to school he should not go to college. A system that makes these kids who have no interest in school go to college as the best avenue to become an NBA player is broken.

For what it's worth, he was asked where he would have enrolled if he had decided to go to school, and he picked Kansas.

Not sure that counts for much.

Hopefully it helps us with his BFF Jalen Wilson (Rivals #47 6-8/210 SF), visiting this weekend and who most gurus favor to pick KU over at least the tarred ones and his original school Michigan.

I'm not happy with the pre-hoopla. Why bother when I'll bet his mind was made up well before today? Seems a bit arrogant to me......
