Are you OK? You always seem inordinately angry and bitter when I read your quotes. If there's anything we can do to help, let us know!

Still hearing Selby's a Tennessee lean with a big wink and a smile right after my dude says it! There is a school of thought that some of the questions Selby's mother had were answered in March....

I'm just not much on the Selby bandwagon.

it looks like they'll make a run at Mike Rosario. He'd obviously have to sit out a year, but wouldn't be a bad addition. It never hurts to have one of Bob Hurley's players on your roster.

Any insight into why Rutgers has a conditional release stating Rosario can't transfer to UNC (as well as any other Big East school)?

Per the bold, sounds like his former coach isn't too keen on him: The Lead Graf Blog Archive Bob Hurley Slams Mike Rosario -

Players need to quit letting there moms and grandmas decide what their future should be. He should go wherever he feels like he needs to be and wherever he is most comfortable at, regardless if it's UT or not. I would love to have him here but it won't be the end of the world if he ends up somewhere else.

Disagree. As someone who went through the recruiting process (not at Selby's level) I made the decision all on my own and took nobody's input.

It was stupid and arrogant on my part as an 18 year-old and turned out to be a terrible decision.

For anyone not familiar with Bob Hurley and St. Anthony's, check out the documentary on him on PBS. I randomly caught it about 2 weeks ago. I believe it's called "The Street Stops Here." Rosario is a senior the year this was filmed. My overall impression of this kid from the doc is that he has somewhat of a bad attitude.

Big East conference rules forbid transfers within the league. North Carolina is on the Rutgers schedule next season.

If those are the same comments I saw from Coach Hurley yesterday. he was simply saying Rosario had to grow up and take some responsibility on himself.

the BE part I get.

The UNC thing confused me. Even if Rosario couldn't play against them next season, would it be that big of a deal to them if a player transferred to a team on their schedule? It's not like he could help them steal signals or anything proprietary, right?

I don't understand it, but programs occasionally do restrict guys from going to teams on the next year's schedule.

Yeah, what's up with that? It should be common practice to give the enemy bullets to shoot you with. ;)

It's also placing a whole lot of emphasis on one nonconference regular season game. And thus restricting a young man's ability to go to the school of his choice.

We're not talking national security here.

I'm not saying that kids should not listen to their parents input. I'm just saying that if their mom says go to this school because I said so, the kid should not necessarily do as their told. It may have been a terrible decision in your situation but what if a kid goes to a school because his parents made him and the kid regrets it for the rest of his life because he ends up hating the place. Sometimes the parent may know what is best, I agree with that. But sometimes, the kid knows what is best for himself but it may not be what the parents want. 18 year olds may not be grown men yet but they are very capable of making decisions for themselves. And if they make the wrong decision, they have to pick themselves up, move on, and learn from their mistake. It's all a part of growing up.

I'll just be happy when tomorrow comes and Selby picked up that freakin' hat. Quite annoying.

If we take this situation for example a parent is telling her child to go to Kansas and Bill Self versus the kid possibly saying I like UT.Looking objectively the parent is correct.

99.9% of 18 year-old kids have no clue what is best for them.

I respectfully disagree with that. There are a lot more mature 18 year olds than you think. The problem is most of the mature 18 year olds are not athletes, they are kids more worried about what their grade is in organic chemistry and whether they get into medical school, so you never hear anything about them. I wish more young people were like Myron Rolle, a great athlete who wants the best education possible and who is more worried about the impact he makes on other people's lives. Not saying that all kids will be as smart as him but I wish more kids thought like him.

That's not asking for much. There's a select group of people meeting his standards.

You just proved my point by saying most of the mature one's are not athletes.

Like I said, they don't have to be as smart as him, if more people thought like him by putting education first and helping other people, we would live in a much better world as far as I'm concerned.
