Maryland Minute 5.4.11 - Reaction to the Jordan Williams "Decision"

Jordan Williams' decision to remain in the NBA Draft has prompted a wide range of opinions from fans and the media alike.  Below is a collection of those opinions, including my own. 

Jeff Barker surprised by the way 'Jordan Saga' went down
Namely, that he didn't bother to tell Gary Williams, and that the staff found out through the WAPO article. I'm not sure how valid this is; if the rest of us knew Jordan was likely out, I'm sure Gary knew well in advance of yesterday. Still, it would have been nice to call the head coach...ya know, the guy that gave you a scholarship and helped you develop.

I don't want to make Jordan out to be a bad guy, because he's not. But I don't think I'll ever have the same passion for Jordan the NBA player, as I do for say Greivis.

"Kevin and I are friends and athletic directors," Reed said through a university spokesman.

It’s inappropriate to prematurely blow this out of proportion."
