	This must be Rick Pitino's way of saying "Don't let the door hit you with the good lord split you." His public issues with Character have been well-documented. However, the idea of Character making into the first round are unlikely. This draft looks very deep, with potentially D.J. Augustin, A.J. Abrams, Antonio Anderson, and Robert Dozier all declaring today.

	He is focusing on being a 2nd round pick. No chance at 1st round and might not get drafted at all. Pitino even mentioned getting him over to Europe! He seems to be drawing a line in the sand with Caracter. No more BS. He is tired of his antics and wants him out unless he gets his message loud and clear. GROW UP!!

	Caracter's best option is to transfer. Pitino has made it clear he doesn't want him back at Louisville. Why would Caracter leave early to be a second round pick when he could transfer, get better and potentially be a lottery pick in another year or two? The strange thing is that with Caracter back at Louisville with the rest of the returners & recruiting class, they would be a Top 10 team for sure with the Final 4 in their sights. I thought Caracter was doing much better this season and was getting more minutes, so I'm a little confused why Pitino is pushing him out. He still hasn't hired an agent, so is Pitino going to pull his scholarship if he returns to Louisville? I'm sure there is much more to this that will eventually come out. It's odd to me. Any other thoughts on this?

	Pitino is pushing him out because of Caracter's lack of character. He is really immature, selfish and just doesn't get it when the team sets rules etc. How many curfews did this guy break in a row?? Like how do you go break a curfew numerous times on the road in University? Heck in High School our road trips we didn't even break curfew. He clearly had enough of his lackadaisical approach towards every team concept that was instilled upon them. He just hurts the program...wasting away the talent he could have realized.

	DC is stuck between a rock and hard place. If enters the draft he will not draw much interest. He is slow no mid range shot fouls alot and tires easy. If he comes back he will be under a scope if he is allowed back. He made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. He started slow this season then got better than disappeared and then had a good game. Go overseas is his best choice unless he plays according to Pitino.
