This seems premature at worst and super speculative at best.
It's both, with a bit of hyperbole sprinkled in. I have no inside knowledge (sorry for creating such a ruckus), nor do I think picking Ayo was wrong (they did the right thing), and I definitely dont know enough to say we burned bridges (not that Simeon has a) sent us top notch guys b) had an overabundance to send), but its hard to say there weren't negatives.
I was actually just trying to get the point across that if we dont get some/all these highly regarded MIF players, people are going to start bringing up this argument again (guess I'm already guilty).
When recruitments start entering blue blood territory, its never a good thing for us (other than the fact we obviously are in on a phenomenal player). If you are a top 25 basketball player, I can think of plenty of reasons why Duke/KU/UK can sway you there, as opposed to UI.
