[I]"I doubt Creighton told him to leave, but I am certain they told him he would be getting a massive pay cut and that he would have to play better if he wanted more minutes.

Creighton is my secondary team, so I watched a lot of games.[B] It was a combination of things as to why he flopped. Mostly, he was beat out as a starter by a better center. That said, he was still recovering from injury and I think that hampered his development. To my eyes, when he did get into games he was effective.[/B] I could see him landing somewhere like a Minnesota and being effective. He needs the right coach and system, and Creighton just wasn't that."

"Well he chased and found the $ so in that regard he won cause he wouldn't have gotten as much had he stayed. I don't think Ben woulda wanted him anyway. [B]He wasn't a rim protector type. He isn't skilled offensively all that much. He's pretty one dimensional.[/B] Ben woulda played Cam and Banks over him anyway so things just worked out how they were supposed to as far as I'm concerned."[/I]

Searching Hawkeye message boards. Found a quote that almost sums up my feel. Seems he was beaten out by someone else, but that coming back from injury played a huge role.

Is GMac/AO and company the staff to get him back to form?

Ultimately, I think it is a risk worth taking if the price is right. I just hope the price is right.
