Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 303580, member: 716"] Billy did have great numbers and greater talent, but it's not just Villanova and Richmond - I think his reputation was that of a low-effort guy in workouts and in certain games. (I don't know that this comes into play for others judging Owens, but he didn't help himself with his rationale for leaving school early. While everyone else's motivation for declaring for the draft was something along the lines of "my stock is high; it's time to jump," Billy came out and said that he left because he didn't think our 1992 team would be very good. That's cool - there'd be no Lawrence Moten as we know him if Billy had stayed - but it's not really a great way to endear himself to Syracuse fans.) [/QUOTE]
