Yes it is showing that he may be maturing which is part of  the college experience and sadly lacking in some of the underclassmen. As for Krause I give him a big raspberry and a chortle or two. Immature of me and I went to college!!

As do all Celtic fans.

Agreed as I think Antoine will have a breakout season just to prove all his naysayers wrong! Hopefully he will enjoy how it feels with the mediots and fans adulation and continue to excel for many seasons to come.

My question is will the idiots at NCAA central realize that is in Lamars best interest to stay in school instead of going pro? I doubt it as I heard a soundbite on Sports Radio where some 'official' said that Odom had signed with an agent and their hands were tied. The interviewer than said "but his agent resigned" and the official said while that would be taken into consideration you can't just undo that he had an agent. Here the kid is showing that he isn't ready to turn pro and instead of putting the kids best interest ahead of a bad rule the NCAA shows why people think them idiots. Just my thoughts and YMMV.Later
