Landers Nolley II

[Lobot]

NBA summer league start tonight. Charlotte is scheduled at 8:00 on ESPN if you want to tune in and see if Nolley gets some run tonight

OK, so Nolley could have stayed around UC and maybe received some NIL money and an education, or he could have transferred to another program, or he could get paid a million dollars for a year, maybe more years. Sounds like he made the right decision to me!

It would have also have been his sixth year of college as he sat out his first year at VT so I can fully understand wanting to move on regardless. At some point, college is over.

Your memory serves you well; that's exactly what happened.

Just goes to show you that even after four years of college one doesn't always think through or have the ability to think through the advice given. Perhaps we listen to flattery of our inflated worth or an agent takes a gamble to increase their commission. It was a shame as I understand the need for money to a youth. Steve was a very good player who worked hard to get in shape and learn the game. Sadly, we can't undo our past. He did leave UC with a college education and a good name in the community. That is a heck of a start that many don't have.

If memory serves, Logan and his agent held out for a guaranteed contract from the Warriors and didn't get it. The whole thing soured his relationship with teams and he went unsigned.

If I recall correctly, Logan was the number one pick in the second round and hardly make a dent. I saw some interviews with him and he is a class act but a second round does not mean anything.
