AG knows that and it isn't a loss in the long run.

I understand what you are saying here, but there's something that doesn't add up. Why would a kid sit out a year, play, and then bolt? Especially a kid with name recognition, a body frame to add to, and flashes of skills. So I'll accept that you have direct, unfiltered information confirming Kostas was a bad egg. He could have gone this route a few years ago. The only difference is a change in coaches and likely philosophies.
I'm not sure how you could spin this as a positive for the coach or the university.
