I was there during those discussions and I stated that I thought we might(?) have made a mistake not taking K Jones. I just thought that we needed a potentially strong rebounding forward and K Jones fit that need more than anything Mookie might add.

Seemed like a strange decision on the part of the staff.

At the same time I thought that Mookie had a lot of potential. Wasn't about to predict who would turn out to be a better college basketball player. I like Mookie..I saw a few of his high school games and thought that he was a pretty good all around player. His tweener size wasn't an evident handicap in high school, but his skills in high school haven't seemed to have transfered well to the college level.

Still I'm not sure why he never got the minutes that I thought he needed to help develop his game. Maybe JB's recent evolution into a more defensive minded coach had something to do with it?

Maybe Mookie's day has yet to come? What did Valvano say...something about never giving up? He also said..."Be a dreamer. If you don't know how to dream, you're dead."               [SIZE=16px][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
