So mully tricked himself? ;)
I would understand the frustration of a freshman leaving, primarily because so few do in this game. IMO, it should be a realistic number of elite freshmen (top 10-15 or so) or none. The current situation is a bad medium that makes nobody happy.
But I can’t feel sorry for you if a junior, ranked #11 by position/class, and sitting near 900 OVR, including elite ratings at several cores, declares without warning you by being listed on the big board. You have got to know it’s possible those players will declare, whether they’re on the big board or not.
