Carmelo Anthony wanted to come back to SU for another year.  He loved playing for JB.  JB  could have been selfish and talked him into coming back, go for the repeat, but he knew that Melo's stock would never be higher than it was at that time.  JB advised him to leave.  You think JB knew what he could accomplish with Melo in Orange one more season?  Absolutely.  But he did what was best for Melo.

Seems like a coach who cares for his players' longer term careers than his own gawdy numbers.  Yeah, he was pissed when Ennis left early, but he was pissed at dad.  Dad had said it was a two year plan, then went out and started selling Tyler's services after we were about 20-0.

If people don't think that Duke and UNC boosters are part of keeping kids an extra year or two, they are ostriches.  Justin Jackson would have been drafted last season on potential alone.  He didn't need to come back for himself.  He came back for the good ol boys.
