These guys being almost 25 and still wanting to hang around in college is silly to me, but that's the new landscape. It's just another professional league now.
He should be praised for going back to school for his senior year.

Florida also returns their entire team and they added Kentucky’s lead guard in the portal. They will be the consensus #1 ranked team to start the year. If he will make between $6-$8 million, why not come back?

Honestly. Why? Unless going to the NBA is not his main priority. In which case, like I said, that's a red flag. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd keep it in mind if I thought about drafting him.
