Only surprise is that this doesn't happen more often. Given a team full of stars, with top recruiting class after top recruiting. It's got to be tough knowing you could be show casing you're talent elsewhere.

For many of these kids this is their career path, a means to an end, besides garnering an education and four more (glory) years of being big man on campus. What are you to do? You're plumb full of testosterone, every swinging-dick that's ever been to your house has built up your self worth, massaged your ego, and even lied in some cases about how needed you are. And then the realization set;s in... damn I could be on TV, I could be playing, not a chance to maybe start in another year or two, but right now if I had of gone with XYZ. The moment of truth is that riding the pine at Team-X is all that I signed up for here (at least for a few years) and leaving while still young enough (years left) is more attractive than hopefully given a handout job from some legacy CEO. It's being proactive once you see the hand writing on the wall. ... And truth is how many of you have a degree from the same school you originally intended?
