For the record, I appreciate his talent but I don't like watching him play. I hate floppers with every fiber of my being.

I'm not glad he's staying because he should be getting paid for what he does and Travis Ford should stop being so damn selfish and Coach Cal this kid. It is ridiculous that anyone would do anything but tell him he has to go when he is a guaranteed top 10 pick. Next years draft is projecting as one of the best in recent memory and that was with Smart leaving in this year's garbage draft.i'm a college basketball fan, why should i be upset that one of the best players in the game has decided that he's going to continue to play it, and that i'll get to watch him, a lot?why should i be upset that some kid i've never met won't be made a multimillionaire over night and won't be appearing in an episode of next season's Entourage?should i be worried he might hurt his draft stock and that some other kid i've never met could possibly take a portion of smart's millions, next year?Feel how you want, I'm not telling anyone how they should feel. All I said is that his father and his coach didn't help him make the best long-term decision for Marcus. I'm not worried either, just observing.For the record, I appreciate his talent but I don't like watching him play. I hate floppers with every fiber of my being.

Think about the experiences you want to be part of, because once you make that decision it’s your life. It’s a job. It’s not fun anymore.”http://dimemag.com/2010/06/michael-beasley-says-nba-not-nfl-is-no-fun-league/Plus Smart is playing on a team with his best friend & he'll never get that chance again.Glad he's sticking around for the Big 12.Different players/ppl. I think Mike expected to be Jordan and was disappointed.

Luke's stock is rising as Winters continues to validate his greatness. Add Luke and Winters to my list! Also, EMAWBLAST! and Tobias!
I like Ford's 2013 class and I would trade Weber for him in a heartbeat.

I will take the guy who is recruiting top flight talent. If he can't win, you still have top flight talent for the next coach.
Why would anyone be pissed about this?
Why would anyone be pissed about this? The Big 12 sucks and needs all the good teams it can get.
Marcus Smart is a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) (obv. he's playing for Ford at OSU). You get one shot at this kind of guaranteed money, you don't pass.Forte is a rough ridin' bitch who sucks at basketball.
NBA careers on average have to be pretty short. What is the tipping point for how many years he can put off the transition and not be able to make that amount of lost money back? 2Yrs?

Maybe the extra school will give him the responsibility to handle his money better when he finally gets it.

maybe someone is paying smart enough to make staying worth it

NBA should offer some better rookie counseling.I think they do, but they obviously are not doing a very good job. It's even worse in the NFL, where 78% of former players are bankrupt or facing serious financial stress within 2 years of retirement.
