The only thing surprising about Wendell's decision is how long he took to make it. Most basketball players, especially OADs, aren't playing college basketball for the name on the front of the jersey. The biggest reason kids go to college and the biggest reason kids stay in college is because they have to.
I remember a few years ago trying to convince myself that Justin Anderson was coming back for his senior year because he seemed to love UVA so much. And he probably did. But he didn't love UVA more than he loved millions of dollars.
