He definetely would have benefitted from another year in school. I'm sure he regrets not returning to school.

I feel sorry for Jordan. He obviously read and believed all the hype that was written about him early in the season last year and turned a blind eye toward his negatives that were revealed once the playing was for real. His field goal percentage was a joke, because most of those scores came on easy tip-ins. From the outside, he was a disaster, as his free-throw percentage reveals.

He believed he had more to offer than he really did, and, as a result, turned down a fertile training ground at a great university under a strong coach in favor of what he hoped would be instant riches -- the American dream gone awry.

Now he is doomed to play for one of the worst teams in NBA history -- if he is lucky. Sounds to me like a form of basketball hell.

For players like this to come to a&m for a year and then leave is just a waste. It's a waste of money and time, for the effort spent recruiting this kid and ensuring his success in college could have been better spent on an athlete willing to spend 4 years at this institution and actually graduate with a degree. The NCAA needs to step in and stop this kind of thing, this is NOT De'Andre's fault, but for A&M to use time and money for this kind of athlete is a complete waste and a slap in the face for A&M, this kid is a program-building kind of athlete, and now he's gone.

I agree that it is a waste of time, resources, and money when someone like this leaves before their scholarship is completed, especially after just one year. Since A&M committed to play his (and other early departures) way for 4 years and to give him an education, then maybe he (and the others) should repay the money they "spent" while at A&M. With his surely lucrative contract he will receive in the greener pastures of the NBA that he was more than ready for, he can afford to repay A&M for the time we paid for him to live!

He shouldv'e stayed another year. Probably antoher 3 years. But thats the system we have. Thanks to the NBA, the good players know that they can jump after one year for the big bucks. Just think what would happen to footbal if the NFL didnt have the 3 years out of HS rule. Wish it was 4 or 5. Just think of Martellus being back for another year. Maybe a first rounder instead of a second. For me its' hard to blame the kid. I still get mad thinking about Billy Clyde!!
