I can see this perspective, but I also feel the other side has merit. Specifically in the case of a player like Ennis. Nationally, he was not well known coming into Syracuse. Sure he wasn't a complete unkown, but he wasn't LeBron or Parker, or even Julius Randle coming into college. With his size and the style of his game, he hugely benefitted from playing at Syracuse as opposed to many smaller schools (even high major schools wih a lesser profile). If ou consider that the object is to sell yourself and your skill set to the NBA, he got substantial value from going to Syracuse. What price do you put on the television coverage he got, of the attention from national media, etc? It is significant. Hugely significant. Like I said, some players that doesn't matter because they have such noteriety already. LeBron could have decided to go to Siena and he still would have been the #1 pick. Ennis? I don't think he'd be getting lottery attention if he went to BC even. So to ask that all he does is not impart lasting harm to the program when he leaves by staying in good standing is not out of line in my unimportant opinion.
