I always get a kick out of affletes that are attending "academic institutions" and then leave early for the NBA Draft.

Here's why.. if you watch these games, the MSM will absolutely "wax poetic" about the blacks/mixes at those "institutions."

Wasn't Landry Fields "one-and-done" at Stanford? The Lopez' left early, not so early, but early. Robin definitely needed to improve, but he was still drafted very high.

Kyrie Irving being "one-and-done" at Duke. Other blacks leaving Duke early like Elton Brand, Gerald Henderson, Carlos Boozer, etc. Sure, Josh McRoberts left early, but some feel that Coack K wasn't "maximizing his potential."


Now, there's Stanford's Jeremy Green (Junior).. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/story/15044955/stanford-guard-jeremy-green-leaving-for-nba-draft

He has shot well from 3-point range, but, statistically, he doesn't do anything else. His turnovers spiked also.

See for yourself: http://espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=41006


P.S. -- Boozer did have a good Junior season and then entered the Draft, and he went in the 2nd Round, probably because he's not an "elite athlete" and maybe other things (I really didn't follow Duke that much when he was there in the early 2000s).

I'm not saying that blacks can't have "hoop dreams" -- but there is a certain point where there is indeed a "mockery of the propaganda that the MSM feeds to the sheep." For example, as far I know, EVERYONE in the MSM worships Kyrie Irving and his decision to leave after 11 or so college games...

There are certainly other "institutions" like Georgetown that are a mockery, and the "esteemed" Georgia Tech has had a bunch of "early entries." There are really numerous examples out there, that I don't have the time to touch on at the moment. Boston College's - Reggie Jackson - kept his name in the draft, too. Just another gunner..

This topic is interesting to me, and something else to consider.. the vast majority of these guys "weren't redshirted" - so they certainly weren't in college forever.
