It looks like all this sucking by Ben Braun’s Bears has taken its toll on Omar Wilkes. The former Kansas player, who transferred to Cal for god knows why, is forgoing his senior season.
And we can’t blame him. For the three years he was here, the Bears made one NCAA Tournament appearance.
Compare that to the Elite Eight run that the Jayhawks made in the Tournament this year, where Wilkes would have been a senior.
Plus, Wilkes would have been lost in all the hoopla of Ryan Anderson’s sophomore campaign. And was Wilkes really going to get the ball with the possibility of trigger-happy Jerome Randle running the show?
And if we were Omar, we’d be crying that our best win of the year was pretty much meaningless. Of course we’re talking about the Bears’ upset over fUCLA in the Pac-10 tournament.
We’d also be kind of upset that we would have to play in the shadow of a guy like Ayinde “0″baka. Wilkes didn’t do anything to shame himself on the court like that guy.
So, we bid you adieu Omar Wilkes. You never got the ball enough. You had a pretty good shot, and we’ll say that if you were on the court against the Small Dickless Bears in the Elite Eight this year, Kansas would have been in the Final Four.
