Is that it makes players far more likely to turn pro before the program is ready for them to go. Think about it. Let's say Dion and Scoop aren't there MCW's freshman year. What's the chance that he tears it up, goes pro and leaves us without a pg (or with redshirt freshman TC as our only sg, since Triche is at the pg). And conversely, if MCW had stayed for his junior year, we would have had Ennis for an extra year, maybe all 4. If Richardson doesn't get the 38 minutes a game this year because of lack of depth at the 3 and pg spot, maybe he doesn't go pro, and maybe he stays all 4 because he's now older and has less chance. We dodged a bullet with Lydon staying. Cmac turning pro gave him a perfect platform to potentially do so as well.

All of this is to say that Andrew White is immensely important, partly because we need him next year, but also because it could easily be the difference between Tyus Battle leaving next year and him staying for 2017-2018. I'm happy for all the SU players who have made it to the NBA, but that, coupled with our scholarship situation creates a vicious cycle.
