re: What's Hornsby's post-college future?

I would sign him after the draft strictly because of how much heart this kid has and plays with. He has what no coach can teach and his work ethic is of the charts.

Listen I love Keith and I hear what you are saying about his heart but let's be honest. The kid does not have a single NBA level skill. The one skill that he is great at, 3-point shooting, he has a major flaw with, his delivery. Heck even Riley Norris from Alabama is a better shooter than him. The way coaches and GM's get fired in the NBA, no one is going to remotely take a chance on him. It's a business after-all.

But on the other hand, the Keith Hornsby's of the world are the reasons I will always love college sports over professional sports. Keith is limited but he lays it all on the line for LSU every time he steps on the floor. While having someone like Ben is great and fun to watch, I will always love the Keith Hornsbys and Andre Stringers more. Those four year guys that love the game and the school make the season tickets worth the cost.
