    Hey, at Syracuse's NC championship celebration/presentation a couple years back, the crowd was chanting 'One more year!' to Carmello Anthony. He then replied to them 'Why's everybody saying one more year? I thought you stayed in college for four years?' And we all know how that turned out.

    This is what I hate about college basketball. You can't hold on to a star player for very long at all.

    I think his point was that no promise was actually made. He made an implicit statement regarding himself and the team, but never 'promised' anyone anything.

    First timer here so please don't slam me on this (I usually just read the forum during LSU college football) but I heard an interesting tidbit through the grapevine in Baton Rouge that Thomas actually planned to go to the NBA prior to the Final Four game and that as a result of that decision he did not play hard in the game against UCLA because he did not want to get hurt and upset his draft possibilities. Not sure if this has been posted on here or not. If it is, it is old news. If he stays, then I am way off.

    I thought it was interesting but obviously I can't know the going's on behind Thomas's life but the source was at the game and closer to the scene (around family of players and such) than I was. They indicated in person at the game he seemed so out of it and not trying hard at all that there was something wrong. They are more in the know than I am but just putting it out there. Thought it sounded kind of interesting. I hope it wouldn't be true but he did play horrible and you never know what a kid will do once a scount gets a hold of him and he gets suddenly lifted up.

    The counter to this, would be why in the world would he not play hard because this could elevate his stock tremendously.
