Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3917182, member: 7597"] I am not so sure it is always so black and white like most of life, otherwise, why did RIP turn so much money down after his 2nd year and come back for his junior year? Why did Kemba do the same and come back for the 3rd year? In the 90s we had another stud named Ray who could have bolted after his second year but he came back for his junior year. Sometimes these situations are a little more nuanced and I think a lot more is going through these kids' heads than we give credit for. Otherwise, we wouldn't have 2 of those 4 championships and a shootout vs UCLA in 95 if it was just money. I mean, very likely he is gone, I am 95% sure, but I think it is not always such an easy choice for some, or even many, or possibly even most of these players. However, 95%+ of fans were 95-100% sure Ray, RIP, and Kemba were gone after their 2nd year too. [/QUOTE]
