Although I don't doubt any of his abilities or unlimited potential, he hasn't by any means shown anything that would put him under the superstar spotlight that the media has pigeonholed him in. I believe that any athletic 7 footer should be grabbing 10 boards a game and scoring without much contest against teams like Valpo, CSU, etc. As we saw against Florida, he is going to have to work to defend his league elite status that has been bestowed upon him by just about every talking head in the nation. If they should be crowning anyone for freshman of the year, take a good look at his teammate Mike Con. He is leading the Big Ten in steals and assists. As a college basketball fan, you gotta love the no declaring rules...makes the game 10x more interesting to watch I agree.
