Sturns Is Doing Really Well

[SUMG]

Glad to hear that things are working out well for Michael Sturns. Scottie sent me this article:

wow all his d-2 success is going to his head... lol at sturns being a pro

It took him 22 years and a match-up with Gerald Henderson to "meet his match"?!?!?!?!

That kid has some serious problems...hes been at best a third option on every team he's ever been on until now...even High School the ball was better suited in the hands of the Langford brothers or Evan Rischer.

He'll find a pro gig somewhere very, very cold...I hope he understands the exchange rate better than he understands how to break a zone defense.

When i started reading this article I was actually excited to hear Mike was doing well. Then he started talkin about thinking like a pro and not looking at college games, and especially the point CBL brought up about Gerald Henderson... If I recall, and I saw most every home game that guy played in the PIT... I am sure he met his match NUMEROUS times.

Best of luck to the guy but damn dude you weren't THAT good!

I enjoyed watching him play while he was here at North Texas, but boy is he cocky!

The part about calling the writer back to clarify what he meant by not being happy with his decision making...oh man.

a college kid thinkin about only making money at the next level is the wrong reason for him to play. he should play for the love of the sport and enjoyed his free education he got at unt. what will he do when his dream fails him.

Personally, I do not think he is being cocky. He speaks very directly about his career and financial goals, but I know the some folks don't care for this style (especially about money). It is another matter as to whether he can actually carry out these goals, including the NBA. I actually checked up on him 2 weeks ago at the Holy Family website. I didn't post what I found b/c I didn't think anyone would care.... I noticed that he averaged a ton of points, but what really stood out was his many turnovers (which they failed to mention in the article). Apparently, this part of his game didn't change after leaving UNT.

I wish Sturns the very best and hope that he achieves all of his goals. There was some issues with his behavior both on and off the court, but he always treated us with respect and kindness. He was always very nice to my daughter.... he took the time to actually learn her name and talk to her after the games, and even would throw things (wrist sweat bands, etc.) to her in the crowd.

Mike has moved on. We should also. Good luck to the kid. It's his decision and his life.
