People are being critical that current 23 year old wants to make a lot of money and play Basketball for the University of Kansas? A 23 year old who is doing what he feels is best for HIM?
Gee, money and happiness are important to the guy. God forbid!
What does he owe anyone on here in those regards? Which one of you wouldn't do the same exact thing he is doing if you had the opportunity to do as such?

Moving on, as Kansas fans we feel....

* He doesn't try hard enough?
I can agree he doesn't seem to give 100% all the time. Perhaps due to injury? Perhaps due to fear of injury? Perhaps due to being lazy? Excusable, inexcusable, whatever reason/s, the guy averaged 18.0 and 10.8. Not a single one of us would have said they wouldn't be happy with that before the season started.
For fucks sake, the guy put up 27 points and 21 rebounds against Kentucky.
The guy put up 17 points and 20 rebounds against Tennessee.
30 and 11 against TCU.
24 and 14 and 20 and 16 against OU.
20 and 15 against ISU.
15 and 20 against KSU.
Name a guy since Danny Manning who put up those kind of numbers for KU in a season.
But but but..... Dickinson put up those numbers against those teams that didn't have bigs.
Or, but but but.... Dickinson had shit numbers against UCF, Cinci, TTU, Houston.
Buncha Gutters on here.

* He celebrates or pouts in a manner in which people don't care for?
Again, Buncha Gutters on here.
Is his emotion fake or legit? If it's fake, then he deserves ridicule. If it's legit, then I will refrain from criticism.
When I played competitive hockey at first I lacked confidence and was extremely reserved with my emotions on the ice. I was criticized for it. Told I didn't care and lacked effort because of it. Told I wasn't a team player because I wasn't overly excited when my teammates scored.
Then when I was good (dare I say great?) and confident with my abilities, I became what many felt was an asshole on the ice. They felt I was too emotional. Too cocky. Disrespectful. Celebrated in excess. Of course I was criticized for all of that - too.
NEITHER were fake emotions at the time. Neither were done to appease others. They were MY 100% legit emotions in regards to how I felt while playing.
Guess what? In hindsight - my exact feelings are fuck everyone who felt they knew better than me how I should have behaved on the ice - and those who had a problem with me being me.
Back to Dickinson. For some of you, I can'r help but believe the negativity towards him runs deeper than you express on here. If so, that's on YOU. Not him.
Once again... That's being a Gutter. Don't be a Gutter.

The system sucks but Hunter is like the spokesperson for the suck.
