I wish Aldridge hadn't left. He's awesome. Texas will be good next year, but they'd definitely be better if he was staying.

He probably would have been drafted out of HS so when he stayed in school this long I figured he was gonna get his degree.
Memphis and Michigan State are gonna fall off the map next year. They might be lucky to get a ticket to March Madness.

He isn't ready.
I couldnt believe it when Shakur entered. He is not ready yet at all. He still hasnt proven himself in college and now hes gonna tyr and make it to the NBA. Since im a huge arizona fan im praying hell return, but if he doesnt he better impress at pre draft camps that is if he even can get invited. Atleast Marcus Williams was smart and decided to return to Arizona. For another season.
