Charles Barkley was on PTI a few weeks ago and said something along the lines of “just because a kid can declare for the draft, doesn’t mean he should”. He was absolutley crushing the quality of basketball being played in the NBA this year, and blaming a lot of it on kids leaving college early and GMs drafting on potential instead of actual. I know it’s tough for a kid to turn down big money (and fame, girls, cars,lifestyle), but you have to wonder how good some of the dudes who left early could have been if they stayed. Julian Wright springs to mind. That being said, no way Joel is back for a soph seaon.

Awesome venue. Made the pilgimage 3 times- New Years Day 2005, KU beats Georgia Tech in OT, March 2007 for the Texas game and Feb 2012 for the last KU vs Mizzou game…all were loud, all were crazy, but the Mizzou game was just out of bounds nuts.
