If Donnie's not ready to go pro, but let's say he does 12 points and 5 rebounds, with all the talent around him at SU, a featured role the next year, and pretty good prospects, do you leave for just a bag?  Do you go to Auburn or Alabama or Texas A&M where you have to start all over?

As long as we are "in the game" money-wise, I really like what Fran said on that Inside the Orange series on the ACC Network - "You're not going to hold me hostage on NIL.  This program is about more than that.  We will be competitive, but it's up to you to see the value, and take advantage of the opportunity we will put in front of you."

He's talking LIFE, just like one of our grads said to Quadir Copeland (Devo, I think).  "Dude, you're leaving the family."  That's not talk.  Cuse fans will help you in your career, and take you forward in life, if you stay long enough to become part of the family.  No one will ever discredit Joe Girard, Jesse Edwards or Maliq Brown for leaving.

That's fine.  They are part of the family.  They did their time and made some memories for us here.  Copeland had one season and then was gone.    Buh-bye.
