Yep.  I usually don't get too worked up about guys like Ennis or even Grant leaving, since they both contributed to successful season(s) here & both seemingly left at (arguably) close to their peak "NBA Draft values," IMO.

But this...this is just in a completely different category for me.  This is the type of thing that really does leave me questioning why I follow/invest in this team/sport as fervently as I do.

Honestly, it's almost comical at this point.  I know we like to complain/cry over this stuff & how it seems that Syracuse players are more prone to leave early than other schools...but this one may give that belief some legitimacy.

Aside from Noel, I can't think of one other player who fits this category - played 16 games overall, had major injury, was basically removed from all media NBA Draft boards, and yet still decided to leave...and not like he was arrested or kicked out of school or something either - and even Noel was still considered to be a high potential draft pick after his injury.

This one has to really bum the staff out.  I wonder if it becomes the impetus for a change in recruiting strategy?
