You know darn well those voices who aren't happy about a decision to come to Creighton are going to be whispering in his ear during the season as well first time coach doesn't give him the minutes they feel he should be getting or isn't running enough plays to him, etc. I just don't see it working out well. But, that's from way outside. Could be way 100% wrong on that. Hope he comes here and hope I am wrong. Time will tell.

I think the snark is due to the fact that nobody anywhere ever has called him Rick Hamilton. Until today.
My favorite SF is Lawrence Bird.

So you think he will be a liability in the locker room based on the fact that he is taking his time making one of the most important decisions of his life? Yeah, you are 100% wrong.

So, lets try that again with some reading comprehension. Nowhere did I say based on him taking time to decide. I said "apparently has so many voices in his ear" - that is, based on the reports that he has a lot of people close to him with different interests telling him to go to one school or another. I never said anything about the locker room. So you pulled that one out of your arse.

what problems, other than him departing for more minutes elsewhere, would you be implying he could cause if he, hypothetically speaking, DID have people "whispering in his ear"? You didn't mention the locker room but it heavily came across that you don't think Brian will be good for team chemistry. Same diff. I think we need to get used to players with 'camps'. McD's AA types seem to all have them. It comes down to recruits seeing themselves as pros down the road wanting to put themselves in the best position to succeed. Some of those people "whispering in his ear" probably do have his best interests at heart. You may not like the culture into which college athletics is evolving but you shouldn't take that angst out on a recruit the staff has invested so much time in, and a guy that would help us out tremendously next season
