Heart! You either have it or you do not. What I would do to be able to just play ball and workout everyday (plus the fringe benefits of college)! I just hope that AT does not wake up one day down the road and regrets the blown opportunity. A man's character is shown during adversity so I guess with all the competition coming in the next 2 years we'll see AT's character.

There were two big men in the BU past who I suspect many would have issues with and likely would have given up on after a year of service.
Bayo
Jeff Rabey
I really hope the light goes on for Thompson and if he can get even to where those two were by the time they left BU, it will be worth the wait.
Effort and confidence. I really hope out he gives and gets both when we go to Brazil.

Bayo - Eh, not so sure about that. I think people were willing to be patient with him because they saw the work ethic. He clearly got better and stronger from his redshirt year to his sophmore (freshman playing) year, and we had other big men at the time that could fill the void while he developed. I can't speak for everyone, but I thought Bayo developed the way you hope a redshirt big man will develop.
Rabey - Definitely agree 100%. The light didn't go on for him until the 2nd half of his senior year. His drop step dunk on ISU in the MVC semis is one I will remember for a long time.
If we're on the Bayo standard with AT, we're behind quite a bit. If we're on the Rabey standard, AT should be contributing a lot starting around games 15-20. But, since AT is a 5 year kid instead of a JUCO, that means we'd have 2 more solid years of production. I'll take that.

AT was a 3 star recruit with much higher expectations than Bayo or Raybey. If he turns out as good as Raybey was for 2 years that would be great. If he ends up as good as Bayo we would be amazing and I would expect us to win the Valley no question. At this point Ill be happy if he turns out as good as Aba.
The one good thing AT has going for him is he should get plenty of minutes on the floor when BU plays in Brazil, he could go a long way in proving he deserves more game time if he has a good showing on this trip. I still believe he has the skill but he needs to be more agressive and give it his best effort.

Any word if AT has put on some of the weight that he lost during the season?
