It was mostly harmless things. For instance, his junior year at Oak Hill, he and Nolan Smith (now for Duke) got into a competition who could initial the most things in the school with permanant marker. Nolan Smith wrote on bathroom stalls etc, where teachers never went. Beasley wrote on the principal's chair. The principal found some of his other writings in the school and called him to the office. He warned him he would be gone if he did it one more time, and as he stood up, he saw the writing on his chair that Beasley had done before, and he thought he just did it, so he expelled him. He also was disruptive in class at some of the other schools.

So he likes SpongeBob. Many people do.If he can play, he can overcome the quirks. Mike also had some exuberance traits last year.

I will never feel sorry for anyone who puts any trust in Bob Huggins and gets burned.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Huggins has proven on multiple occasions that he looks out for noone but himself.

Like stealing cough medicine?

Except Cyclone Alley, I'm sure they are way too classy to single out one player for liking a little kid's show.

You got a problem with Spongebob?

I think the better question is, did KSU sell their soul (promote a mediocre head coach) for one player who will be one and done, and an 18-10 record (so far)?

Beasley is awesome and fun to watch. I have no knocks on the kid.

Cant feel sorry for someone dumb enough to put trust in Frank Martin

KSU had no other scorer that had double figures or over 5 rebounds. One player cannot do it all.

He'll have plenty of money to hire the world's best counselors to work him through any issues he might have-so no I don't feel sorry for him

He didn't follow Huggie to KState, he followed Delante Hill his "coach" from AAU days. Hill was hired By Charlotte because they knew he would bring Beasley with him. Huggie hired Hill away from Charlotte so that he could get Beasley. So Beasley is right where he wants to be. He is playing with 3 of his former AAU teammates - including Walker.

By the way, he his good friends with Kevin Durant and they also played together in AAU ball. How tough must that team have been?

When they came up with the saying "A man among boys" they meant it for guys like Beasley and Lebron. He is on another level of competition when he plays. I really don't like people like this though that think they need everything handed to him. But with talent like his you can do that in this day and age and get away with it.

ISUonthemove · 03-08-2008, 07:03 AM

No because I can't imagine what huggins had to do for him or give him to come to K-state.

And he will be just fine next year making 30 mil
