[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1670495, member: 623415"] I’m sure Kofi, his advisers and the university have considered all angles and felt for whatever reasons that sitting out 3 games was the best approach to take. If it was as cut and dried as you make it sound, they likely would have gone the route you suggest. More likely is that it isn’t and there are some risks that weren’t worth taking. Kofi is back to improve his stock so he can get drafted as high as possible. Missing 3 early games is not likely to impact his goal. However, even if unlikely, possibly missing three conference games (which could impact tourney seeding and make success harder) or heaven for bid 3 tournament games have a much greater likelihood of impacting draft potential. Easy for fans to say “screw NCAA, fight it,” but Kofi needs to consider potential impact on his future even if chances of a negative impact are small. [/QUOTE]
