What now, Randolph Morris?

What now, Kelenna Azubuike?

You guys could have been part of a 2006 national championship contender at the University of Kentucky ? maybe even the preseason No. 1 team. Instead you wake up today as young men without a team, or a grasp on your dream.

You whiffed in the NBA draft, making the worst career decisions since Michael Jordan decided he could hit a curve ball.

What now, Matt Walsh?
What now, Anthony Roberson?

You could have been part of a team equipped to battle Kentucky on even terms, the Florida Gators. Instead you wake up today with egos and expectations trampled after seeing 60 players picked by the NBA ? none of them you. Your "advisers" who counseled you to turn pro and stay in the draft ... what are they telling you this morning ? if they have the nerve to return your calls?

I hate the NBA, not just because the players and the games suck, but mainly because they have ruined college BB. Something needs to change for the kids sake.

I have enjoyed watching pro basketball for a long time, until a few years ago. For numerous reasons, I stopped watching. I tuned into one game a month ago, thinking it was the finals, only to find out it was the semi-regional, blah, blah finals. Whatever.
I cannot say I am a fan of college basketball, but if players were prevented from turning pro until after they graduate college, the games might be interesting enough for me to watch. My thoughts are the same for football.
I would rather read a history book with a purpose.

Matt Walsh must be bummin'. Although he does date a Playmate. Maybe she can help console him.

I wish kids on 4-year scholarships would stay all 4 years in all sports. I might feel different if i was one of them or their family. I guess there's no turning back now.

They say there's more important things in life than money . . . unless you don't have much.
