I'm sure he's going to be really bummed out when he only gets to play 10 minutes of the national championship game.
Seriously, every ripping on a kid for choosing to play at the University of Kentucky need to knock it off.
This. It's the kid's decision. Creighton fans should probably try not to take it personally.

A point I would like to raise is that there are about 5-10 people commenting on this Kentucky signing benefits vs staying w CU and the Big East. The one thing I don't like about message boards is that tv, paper etc. take these 5-10 people and then attribute their input to the thinking of the overall team fan base. I don't think "most" Jay fans are taking it personally. The OWH does a great job of doing just this- making an overall assessment based on a couple of people's input.

It's Kentucky. Everybody here gets that. Nobody's feelings are hurt. Their program is in a completely different universe than ours. It's perfectly reasonable, however, to question the decision from a purely basketball perspective. Minutes are going to be difficult to find this year (it's looking more likely that #2 wing Jaylen Brown commits), and nearly impossible to find in 2016.

Maybe Mulder makes it impossible for other players to find any minutes.

From a purely basketball perspective I would play 5-10 minutes a game on a team that has the potential to win it all every year.

That's anything but a purely basketball perspective. That's looking at it from a prestige/image perspective. Kentucky is undeniably an NBA factory, but I can't think of one person who got drafted after playing 6-7 minutes per game in college.
I understand his decision, and like I said earlier, I probably would have done the same thing at 20 years old. I just question the decision looking 2+ years down the road.
