One of the things that annoys me most is when people believe that the end result is what determines if something was a good decision or not.  You can only make the decision based on what you know at that time.  When Jerami declared, he was a 1st round pick, with the possibility to be a late lottery pick if he proved scouts he could shoot in workouts.  He reportedly sucked in workouts, and his stock fell, causing him to slip to the 2nd round.  At the time when he made the decision, I highly doubt he and his family were expecting that he would suck in workouts.

And coming back does not guarantee he would go higher.  I'm fairly certain Jerami would have been picked right around where he got picked, if not later, had he come back for a junior season.  If he only showed modest improvements as a junior, his stock would have plummeted even more, and then he'd end up being like James McAdoo or CJ, and just go into a tailspin that you can't correct.

Both Grant and Ennis made the right choices for themselves.  They both would have likely been 2nd round picks if they returned, and would have kicked themselves if they came back for another year just to be a 2nd round pick.
