They cut ties and he lost interest from Florida, Ohio State, Auburn, and South Carolina. It's just depressing when you realize those school gave up on him and we're supposed to get excited.I understand that kids have trouble academically and need more assistance some times. Most of these kids who do not pass their ACT's the first time did not pass it for a reason. Maturi, if it's you signing the Gophers next coach, make a splash. Tim Brewster is not going to fill the stands with every decent prospect he signs having some problem. Media outlets, I cry for more criticism of this team and the university Don't shy away from the facts. Praise when praise is earned. Criticize when criticism is necessary. Start building a program with smart, athletic, and good talent. 
Don't shoot for the stars when the star has a chance of imploding. This city needs to realize that division championships mean absolutely nothing. The media here needs to realize that with defeat comes criticism and with victory there is room for improvement. It shoudn't be good enough until you have all the chips in front of you. Take it to the next level Minnesotans. If you want rings, you need to start demanding rings. The Vikings have finally figured it out. It's been a pleasant surprise watching Monta Ellis blossom into a Star.

His maturation process after the moped and injury issues, shows true character. I'm thinking, with his improved D, will be an Elite player for years to come Now is the time to be bold. This team is far too young to be taken seriously, as constructed. With all the injuries, coaching and front office issues, is now theappropriate time to be aggressive Why not.Itruly believe that Anthony Randolph will eventually become anoutstanding player If he works really hard, maybe an All Star Do the Warriors have time to wait No The kid, as gifted as he is, will take time to blossom. For the Warriors to ask a 20 year old to beconsistent is outrages. Was Ellis, Kobe, Garnet, good at 20 Not even close.Chris Bosh has already reached what will take Randolph 4-5 years, if it all pans out. Trade Randolph and next years first round pick for him, now before he hits free agency.
As an All Star, he and Andris Biedrins could lock down the paint for years to come. Paring Bosh with Ellis would give the Warriors two young All Stars and a bright future. With a healthy and legit roster, they will have immediately altered the balance of power in the West. Matching up well with the Lakers Gasol/ Bynum, Spurs, Suns and Portland as well. With the right coach in place, the franchise could begin a rapid ascent, hopefully keeping the team together and allowing the younger players, Curry, Morrow Wright, to blossom.You either love him or hate him, but Don Nelson is a winner. Nellie ball doesn't work in the playoffs, but is darn exciting.
