I haven't thought about it too much because you know I might be good enough then, but then again I might not. But if they approached me with an offer, I think I would take it." -Campy Russell, senior, Pontiac Central H.S., May 27, 1971 Michigan's star basketball player Campy Russell was drafted by the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday, prematurely ending his varsity career with the Wolverines. Many people have voiced disapproval of Campy's actions, mostly because of their interest as fans and a deep-rooted sense of the sanctity of the four-year rule in college athletics. Campy has indeed been a great player during his stay in Ann Arbor after a brilliant high school career with, hopefully, a lucra- tive and successful professional one ahead of him. Campy has been destined for stardom ever since his abilities on the court became evident years ago on the playgrounds of Pontiac. Even on the day he declared his desire to come to school here three years ago, the newsmen were pressing him on his pro- fessional aspirations. Therefore no one should be surprised at the course of action Campy took, or be righteously indignant because Michigan won't have a great team next year. He made the only decision he could have made under the circumstances. In watching Campy play this past season, I became convinced that he was just too good for the basketball played at the col- lege level. Russell was always there with the nonchalant big bas- ket during the close games of the early Big Ten season, and at times, seemed to be toying with the opposition. Campy has nothing left to prove in the college game. Individ- ually, he led the Big Ten in scoring, finished second in rebound- ing and Michigan captured the Big Ten title and an opportunity - for him to shine in the biggest showcase of them all, the NCAA Tournament. Few Michigan sports fans will ever forget the show Campy put on for the folks in Tuscaloosa last March in Michigan's upset of Notre Dame. Campy scored 36 points, including 24 in the sec- ond half, and grabbed 18 rebounds, completely captivating the Alabama crowd with his display of talent. One can be reasonably sure in saying that Campy Russell came to the University of Michigan and played basketball for three years in order to realize his goal of a sassy pro contract. He worked hard to this end and deserves the fame and fortune shortly to come his way. His "vocational" training was considered sufficiently complete to warrant a first round draft pick. After all, don't many (if not most) people in this University come here to obtain some vocational training whether it be in medicine, law, architecture, music, or basketball? Turning the shoe on the foot of another student, if a medical school deemed someone qualified after just three years of college should he turn it down? Campy is unusually gifted with a basketball. In fact, only twelve other players in the college ranks were "hardship" picks of the professional league, and Campy was the first one to be drafted. Certainly college has more to offer than another year of basketball for Campy, but the years of earning for professional Campy can graduate any time but he can only play ball now. basketball players are very limited.
