While both are now out in the big bad world learning to fend for themselves, living away from home for the first time and dealing with everyday issues, in a way they are no different from thousands of freshmen trying to cope for the first time away from home, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.  Both are now very rich, and they are in a very bright spotlight.  ''At first, it was overwhelming,'' said Chandler, who grew up in the California cities of Hanford and San Bernardino. ''I wasn't used to pacing myself and setting time limits on how much I need to sleep and stretch."  Curry faced similar difficulties, especially being a local celebrity dealing with many holding their hands out for a piece of his pie.  ''Everybody in the neighborhood is all of a sudden related to me,'' he said. ''It's just crazy. I experienced that as a senior in high school, but now it's so much worse. It's 10 times worse.''

Expect Tim Floyd, not far removed from being a college coach himself and thus experieced with dealing with freshmen in similar decisions, said he'll look after the two teenagers as best he can, but he will not be a parent to them.  ''I'm absolutely going to be sitting down with [the rookies] throughout the season. I wouldn't say I'm going to be a father figure, but I'm darn sure going to be checking on them with what their needs are and how they're doing.''

Said Chandler in closing ''Whoever thinks this is a glamorous life, think twice.''
