(Alando Tucker) knows his high academic and basketball IQs, his incredible abilities on the basketball court, his gregarious nature that makes him so popular with his teammates, classmates, coaches and reporters who talk to him all were developed through his close relationships with members of his family.
… it explains why Tucker will shut out any outside voices that might try to convince him into making himself eligible for next June’s NBA draft. He made it clear his only focus is on playing for Wisconsin this year and next year, too.
“People talk. But I’m enjoying myself here,” Tucker said. “Everything I’m going through I’m enjoying. I’m not looking for anything but finishing this season off strong and coming back next year. That’s all that’s on my mind.”
