I don't disagree, which is the sad part. We need to be fishing in this kind of pond if we are a serious basketball program. But we aren't, so we won't.
I mean, does he care about getting a degree right now anyway or is he just going to take the most money he's offered? I'm guessing the latter. He can finish his degree later if he wants to.
If we are serious about things, this is a kid we go get. Of course with an 18 ppg average, he's probably going a lot higher and for more money. Poo ol' Richmond, can't afford anything.
