He was going nowhere after 2004. AK is a real good college player. Not great but good. As a pro he will not be quick enough, a good enough shooter and nowhere near as athletic as he would need to be.
Only a respectable D1 program does that. W's, baby, W's. Kinda like those who squeal with delight that the "pitchers and catchers" have reported, as they look out their windows at snow, ice, freezing temps . . . the nice weather is months away.
Means little. Every team in the country boasts about their work ethic. Now recruiting, approach to offensive football, insistence on defensive players tackliing hard and with good fundamentals.
Suing them (the institutions of higher learning) for what: establishing/modifying rules and standards for their extracurricular activities and programs? Show some balls.
Says who? Take back control of institutional "extra curricular activites". These are our rules and you can play or not play. We decide how this sport will be played. You don't. Just a matter of will.
What I would do is stay 2 or 3 years and make sure I was physically and mentally mature before going on to compete against grown-ass men. I would avoid the Liam McNeeley mistake.
Find a way to change it back. All schools. This is collegiate athletics, time for colleges to reinstitute control of it's school operated "extra-curricular" activity.
He was at UConn for three years partially because the portion of our fan base that wants to annoint - and takes great satisfaction in touting - the McNeeley's and Mullin's as "one-and-doners". It doesn't help the program nearly as much as an Allen playing for 3 years. Or a Donyell or RIP or...
Mullins needs to review McNeeley draft plunge. Was he a lottery pick? No, but the Hornets did draft a lottery forward. Was he a first round selection? Again no. Is he playing a lot for Charlotte? Nope to that as well. Should stayed one or two more years. Lesson to be learned there, Braylon.
Yeah, and he doesn't even have to work up a sweat. Guaranteed 2nd round money. Should have stayed and probably become a first round pick, maybe even a lottery, like Knipple, who actually was a legit one-and-done.
