[QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1759649, member: 87"]
A lot of the angst from these threads comes from people trying to justify their position on whether a kid should come back or not. I've come to the conclusion that I know zip about the justifications that matter so I'm not going to try to make any. My perspective is this: I want Syracuse to be as good as possible and we are always better when these players stay. I also want to see our guys do well in the NBA and there are times where it is tempting to think that staying is a good decision in that vein. But that is where justifying and equivocating, etc come into play. I thought at the time that the worst decision in the world to leave was MCW, then he goes out and is hyper successful in the NBA - proving that I know nothing, so I now resist "thinking" from a basketball success perspective. Then there are the financial arguments. These basically boil down to some variation of taking the lump sum or an annuity when you win the lottery. Except much about the ultimate earnings are so unknown that it devolves into pure speculation very fast.

So all that said: I want Mali to come back because I love watching him play and he makes Syracuse a better team. If he leaves, I want him to be super successful, but what I really want is for him to play for us next year.
