I wouldn't go so far as call him a moron, I think agents will blow smoke in order to secure an extra commission if possible and these young men are all part of the ME generation.

Those agents and those who would influence decisions on the fringes of basketball have always been that way, now they can do it with the NCAA not caring.

Back in my student days, I was in a fall class with basketball guys during some very lean years, and when I asked a senior his plans, he simply stated that he would be a pro. When I questioned where did he think overseas, he laughed and said "the league, what do you mean overseas." This was a guy who never had an all Big West selection, on a team that was way below .500 .

Unless they have someone they can trust outside the vacuum of AAU ball and agents, they blame outside factors. The new money has only made this worse.
