I think that is on the players checking out this summer thinking they had a foot in the NBA working out with private trainers and getting worse.  And honestly the fans more than the coaches push that nonsense.  You tell me why 90% of this board considers Battle gone when he has a year of eligibility left and has ZERO and I mean ZERO shot of being drafted in the first round.

People think he should give up on the NBA completely and go straight to Europe instead of maybe coming back better for his senior season?  He can't have an offseason when he doesn't get worse?  He can't work on playing PG in the offseason so hes competent there?  None of that is on JB.

Brissett ditto.  Who is going to draft him when he can't make a contested layup still.  He has 2 more years to learn how to do that why would he leave Syracuse with eligibility remaining to go undrafted again?  To make 50k in Lithuania?  To get 5 minutes a night for the Erie Ballhawks or Maine Red Claws?  Our  ing fans think hes gone though and has zero chance to return.

We didn't pull this crap when Flynn or Greene were here and good as freshman people were shocked Donte left to take the money.  For some reason once Ennis showed up we started treating every competent freshman like Zion Williamson or Carmelo Anthony.  Its a joke.
