Big Men staying in college

This year has been refreshing for college basketball. That's because for the first time in what seems like a decade, there are bonafide big men in college basketball. Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Roy Hibbert, and Greg Oden are the big name big men in college basketball. And not coincidently, they have led their schools to the 2007 Final Four.

College basketball is the minor leagues for the NBA. A place were kids who want to go to the NBA can improve their skills. Noah, Horford, Hibbert and Oden have certainly done that. I credit Oden ever further for saying he needed to stay in college because he's not ready for the NBA. Way to resist the temptation of the money Greg, hopefully Kevin Durant will do the same.
