I wonder if Kentucky fans say the same thing about their 2-3 early entrant every year? Or show gratitude that the kids went to Kentucky and not a competitor school, and made the program better for having been there at all.

Are Arizona fans dragging Deandre Ayton over the coals for hanging around Tucson for just one season like a selfish d-bag?

I don't think Kentucky fans begrudge their one-and-done first round picks. Not at all. But I'll bet the guys who play 5 minutes a game and then leave when they're entirely un-ready, and then don't even sign a big contract, are considered pretty big schmucks.



I think Kostas is a pretty big schmuck. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Fans are upset that we invested so much time in him and then before he could really contribute he made (what was perceived to be) a really dumb decision.



So we got little out of it, and he appears to have gotten little out of it. And we're all supposed to cheer?
