Patrick O'Bryant reported to work out today for Boston Celtics

I wanted to wait and get a few replies before I gave answer my own question.....

While I generally agree with what looks to be the prevailing consensus that there's no effect on BU, I was wondering if anybody thought it could be spun in a "BU/Valley/non-BCS/etc. players aren't as ready as the big schools/conferences/BCS" manner. I think surely it can be, but would it stick?

I think it is pretty universally known that POB was not ready to go to the NBA when he did, that would be true if he were at any school playing in any conference.

Will people say the same thing about the Big 12 or A&M if DeAndre Jordan fails as an NBA player, probably not. Leaving early is about the player looking short term at all the money I dont believe it has anything to to with the school or the conference.

I think this has been, and always will be, the prevailing consensus that non-BCS players are not as good as players from BCS and Major Conferences. This will never change.

Of course, I also think this is the prevailing consensus about players that come out of Duke -- great players in the Duke system but not athletic or talented enough for the NBA.

The same can be said about players at IU under Bobby Knight.

That is a joke right? Even if he was tired that is not an excuse to be out of shape and not being able to get up and down the court for more then 15 minutes. If he is out of shape and trying to get a job that is extremely disappointing news.

Don't believe everything you read. By the way I think its pretty sh##### how some of you think that POB is bringing negatives thoughts to BU.

Welcome to the BOSTON CELTICS
 
Thanks for clearing that up AV23! I felt that report had to be misleading from the start. The Celtics obviously liked what they saw with POB!

Now I am a Celtic fan!

Amen! Couldn't have said it better! Here's to a long pro career and continuing to bring credit to BU as a well-spoken, upstanding, and classy alum :) :)
