Did you see his video?
And then his comments following his commitment?

Imagine he played for ANY other school.
Sorry, that's a really bad look ( imo ).

Case in point, look at the dude who left bc Hunter joined.
I don't recall Udeh in scripted videos with fake phone calls and talking about how difficult it was for him to commit to Kansas. Just highlight reels of him balling and working out.

There's a level of self absorbed that I think Hunter stepped over and then fucking leaped further into with his comments immediately after the cringe video.

But I certainly can point out if I don't like them as people.

I don't recall Udeh in scripted videos with fake phone calls and talking about how difficult it was for him to commit to Kansas ( after previously committing to Michigan ). Just highlight reels of him balling and working out. And a video about him thanking people and then commiting.

It's this:

"The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase," Dickinson said. "At Michigan, I got less than six figures. I got less than six figures at Michigan for the year."

“I’m not saying anything bad about the basketball program and stuff...I basically gave that up, like Jordan said, to try to be selfish and do what’s best for me and my career and not do what’s best for anyone else’s career.”

So it's pretty clear his main reason for coming to Kansas is for money and, I don't know if you've been on this bored since it's beginnings, but that's not really what I wanted CBB to become ( "bEcOME? iTs ALwaYS BeEN tHIs WAy" ).

You guys can like the guy all you want.
He can be your favorite Jayhawk of all time.
I think he'll be very good at basketball. I just don't like him. I'd much rather have kept Udeh and Zuby.

Bottom line is that the regular public can't even wrap their brain around that because we will never be good enough at our professions to face such a choice of such magnitude. I don't know if I would have handled it perfectly at 51, let alone at 21. I won't go so far as to say I empathize with him but I'll bet this process has been overwhelming to say the least.
