6 hours 3 min ago	actually i don't think that	actually i don't think that many people around these parts would disagree with you.  students don't have full time jobs.  $300 is a lot of money for a student. dave brandon acts like he has shareholders.  he needs the stock price to go up immediately and doesn't worry about the long term.  college sports loyalty doesn't work like a business.  today's students are tomorrow's donors and if you don't get the hooked now they're not going to donate down the line.

1 week 6 hours ago	this is pretty surprising	this is pretty surprising stuff.  putting the tea leaves aside, horford is basically saying that he thinks a big man can't succeed in beilein's offense.  now i don't think that's true, but it also isn't a good thing to say to the press.  certainly would hurt recruting.  also surprising is that his family has been pressing him to transfer for years.  sounds to me like it's a family full of basketball skill that can't accept that this particular family member isn't as skilled as the others. horford also is basically saying that he has to play enough minutes on the court to make mistakes and be left out there to learn from those mistakes instead of getting pulled, which he often was (often for foul trouble, which won't change no matter where he plays).  i don't buy what he's selling.  the time to learn is practice.  coach is putting the players out there who won't make mistakes and if the coach feels that those players can overcome those mistakes more quickly than horford or during practice instead of a game time then those players deserve time instead of horford.  i can't imagine that he'll find a coach who approaches things differently at any other school.
