No shit Sherlock....every player you mentioned are one and dones, Smart could have gone. You take a kid that was unknown, three star ranked, a steal for Pitino...and watch Pitino develop this kid into a complete player and give him a chance to play in the NBA? Not to mention..he is a college player...student/athlete. Something those guys and Cal know nothing about..the kid has done really well. I would put his defense up against anybody in college basketball. That's how it's done in the college game. He is a warrior. Russ will go down as one of the all time greats at U of L. Two final fours...a NC in his career. None vacated. Not bad. Behanon could take a page out of his book. There is one kid who I don't think is going to make it at all.

I never said smith wasn't a U of L great or had a great college career. He just isn't one of the top 5 players in the country. That was the statement that was made was that he was easily top five. And that simply is not true. It doesn't matter if those kids are freshmen sophomores or Juniors they are better players. Not a knock on Russ smith at all so chill out and take a Valium.
