He Could Have Spent That Time In The Gym

I could have told you he would be back before it was over. There was never a chance on him being picked up in the first round of the NBA draft. He was an on and off player at best. Not a marquis player, like Rose or Roberts. It has even been said that CDR should have stayed in school another year. I don't think Dozier was even a starter in all the games he played. I don't guess you can blame him for testing the waters. Every body wants to make a million dollars. Even those players riding the bench make a lot of money.

I keep harping on John Calipari, because he is the true winner here. The players that were leaving had nothing to lose. They were playing on four year scholarships. They were guaranteed a education if nothing else. Something more likely to be of value to some of them, than a professional try-out. A couple of weeks ago Coach Calipari was faced with losing his whole last years starting team. Through recent rule changes instituted by the league he suddenly has back half of his last year's team. In addition to the unexpected signing of the JC player of the year. I think this guy is building his team in two year increments. That's why I don't think we'll win a title under him. I think the new team mission is based on some of the new signees. And Calipari sees light not to far in the future. And the renewed interest in Dozier is due to needing him in a supportive role. Considering how this whole thing has turned out. He could have spent that time in the gym.
