Message: [QUOTE="pearl31, post: 1758526, member: 1531"] From the sounds of it (from the whispers, wind, secondhand revelations offered on here) Mal became hellbent on the NBA for next year regardless of anything "smart," "sensible," or otherwise. It sounds like that mindset has essentially taken things past the point of turning back. It's very hard, especially for a person at that age, to abruptly drop that "hellbent" mindset and switch back to college student. I won't say it's a "shame" because the kid will still make some good money regardless of when/where he's drafted, and maybe he'll kill it at the combine and end up going top 20—but man I just can't help thinking he's giving up some pretty serious $$ with his impatience. Ah well - I'm now going with the attitude that this actually helps T.Battle be the ultimate alpha dog he was meant to be at SU. [/QUOTE]
