| Yeah and I hate it for this kid because he could really light it up from the 3 line once he gets hot. He should be fine. | |

| I only feel bad for Doneal if his Dad pushed him to this. Asking Cal (or any coach really) to guarantee you X amount of minutes is absurd.
I don't think PT would have been a big issue with him. If he didn't start he would have been the 6th man. The Jeremy Hunt of the team so to speak.

| If he's not man enough to take control of his career , he will probably never have one. I think Macs a good kid but if you want playing time or want to be a pro bb player then its seems to me that this is where he needs to be . If he cant bump Willie Kemp or get playing time here then he's probably not pro material . JMO

| It's no big deal guys. I think Mack will be fine playing for LSU or where ever he goes. Mack is a very good player, I wish him the best. If Cal can get Robert Sallie to sign and take Macks place, Memphis might not miss a beat with this years signing class. | |

| As I said before I think Doneal is probably a good kid , but it seems now that he thinks he's more important than the team which is always detrimental to the team . I wish him well though wherever he goes

I wish him well though wherever he goes | A lot of Memphis fans are saying that Doneal's decision was heavily influenced by his father, so it may not be a case of Doneal thinking himself above the team. But what do I know, I'm not a Tiger fan.
But he will be a good player somewhere else, he just didn't get the PT necessary at Memphis. I don't recall Cal playing him very much in the tournament

I don't think Bruce (or many) coaches would guarantee a player a certain amount of minutes. Demanding that seems odd.
