The first mistake in Marreese Speights' life was the spelling of his name. I'm sure it was intentional, but you have to wonder how Maurice turned into Marreese.
There had to be a plethora of other mistakes along the way, but I can assure you that the most recent is his decision to test the NBA Draft waters. This is a guy who has everything to gain by staying in school. The Gators should be bolted to the Top 25 next year, if not the top 10, and Speights is primed for national exposure.
As a general principle, a college player should never leave early unless he's a lottery pick. Marreese Speights is not even close to that right now.
The only good news is that he's going in without an agent, which means he can keep his eligibility (but he hurts his brittle draft stock at the same time). For the good of the Gators and yourself, stay in school and give Marreese a good name.

He should have gotten my name! (And for the record, I would have stayed in school). Let's hope he does.
Hah! Thanks Maurice (not Marreese)
I've heard Marreese isn't planning on hiring an agent, which means when he finds out he's not going to be drafted, he can still come back. And God knows that would be the right choice.
