Oso planning to go pro
McNeal could not have played with a broken thumb. He had also played the entire season. Mbakwe torched an entire year's eligibility by returning for a small portion of the season, getting little playing time in the process. It was absurd to activate him.
I have a feeling he'll play today. That is based on nothing BTW.
Based on what happened, looks like the only way we were going to get 8 to 10 games out of Mbakwe in his career was to activate him. Perhaps the staff knew this. I believe Buzz was on that staff as well.McNeal says he could have played, bad thumb and all. Guess we'll never know the true answers to either question.
I TOTALLY agree with with your assertions in paragraph 1, minus the "looks like" and the "Perhaps". That's why saying that TC left Mbakwe behind for Buzz or that Trevor "wanted to play for Crean but not for Buzz" is so unfair and disingenuous.
