What did he have to give up, other than living at home? In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing that is good about high school that isn't 1000x better in college. (Not trying to start an argument. Just asking for clarification.)This decision always made the most basketball sense. He had to decide if he wanted to give up some things, turns out he was willing to do it. Glad he’s here.
Hurley obviously can't recruitWell there goes our 2022 ranking!!!

He’s a 17 year old starting college and giving up a year of being “a kid.“ He didn’t necessarily go through his junior year of high school mentally thinking it’s the last time he would do all the normal high school things. It’s easy to look back from the perspective of someone who’s been to college and decide what was personally better. Family, friends, having his senior year with his teammates and classmates, competing for a state championship with guaranteed playing time and certain accolades coming his way. Like I said, it an easy basketball decision, but he’s still just a 17 year old.What did he have to give up, other than living at home?

Agree 100%, I started UConn at 17yrs old and it was just too young esp for male brain. In contrast my children will start at 18 & turn 19 in their first semesters. Much better during and after college.He’s a 17 year old starting college and giving up a year of being “a kid.“ He didn’t necessarily go through his junior year of high school mentally thinking it’s the last time he would do all the normal high school things.
