I was thinking yesterday that Montgomery must have some degree of regret about leaving. Sure, he got his payday and a taste of the NBA, but if he had stayed at Stanford -- and maintained something close to the level of success he had had -- people would be looking at him as a viable Hall of Fame candidate. Such a shame.

Maybe.

But maybe had he stayed at Stanford, he would have spent the rest of his life wondering "could I have cut it at the highest level of basketball? If I had just given it a shot ... "

Who knows? Mostly it depends what drives the man - and I don't know him well enough for that.
