When Rick Rickert was being recruited, the general buzz was that he was going
to be in the NBA as quickly as possible. Well, more or less, anyway: Rickert,
who ended up as a second-round pick, now says he "is excited" about playing
in Europe for a year. But why? He could have developed just as well
in the Big 10/1, and he certainly didn't enter the draft to play in
Europe. Put him down as another guy who was sold a bill of goods - but who
was a willing buyer.
