Whoa whoa whoa - when did we "recruit over" Chris McCullough? Do we know where those guys went or why they never suited up for us?

I get people are frustrated with players leaving early and the impact it has had on our win/loss record but some of these arguments are just getting laughable at this point. I mean let's review:
[LIST]
[*]The guy came from a rough upbringing
[*] had a first round guarantee to make millions from his hometown team
[*] a new born baby on the way to provide for 
[*]just saw an injury that seriously threatened his ability that puts him at the top 1% in the world at what he does to change the fortunes for his family. 
[/LIST]

So he could either:

A) take the guaranteed millions while it was there, move back to his hometown and start taking care of his family while rehabbing at a professional organization and bet on himself to get better with around the year training and top notch facilities

or

B) stay in poverty for at minimum another 12 months while trying to take care of his newborn baby in a college dorm, risk having a poor year or god forbid get hurt again and have his chance at the NBA take a major hit.

The other piece everyone is leaving out is [U]he didn't even take the court again until January or February so not sure how much he drastically improves his draft stock by playing in 10-15 games with the rust of having a year off. [/U]So now we're talking another 12 months of putting off millions and we all know how your draft stock takes a hit in each passing year.
