You’re kidding right?  Good on him to go back on what was agreed on?   After Syracuse thought they had everything locked down?  Therefore preventing us from adding other pieces?

Syracuse got hoodwinked here. Came to an agreement with a player (NCAA didn’t allow them to sign a contract and he wasn’t enrolled in classes) and then tried to leave them at the alter at midnight when all the other options were picked over?   Syracuse then had to scramble 1, maybe a second time to secure funds just to pay one player.  Limiting other options outside of Lampkin.

I think we have very different view points here. I will always root for the team over the player.  This became a necessary evil to match the offer.  But it put the team in a terrible situation. So yes, I’m mad at the player.  He’s a mercenary that put my favorite team in a no win situation.   IMO, he has a lot of work to do to make me a fan.  Winning will do that.  But until then, I am not a fan of his antics.   This is what Red apparently wanted to get away from and led to some of the issues last year.
