What about a college kid that goes to the NBA the following year but still under 21 getting paid millions. Are they still "off limits"?

Love the 'support our boys' argument which equates to don't say anything negative. Especially now that these players are getting paid, criticism comes with the territory. Now do some fans go overboard, absolutely but like some have said, ALL fanbases in all sports will have those fanatics.

Directly DMing them? I mean technically no, but it's loser behavior for sure.

You do realize that was not a real game, right?

Getting in any way upset about someone’s performance in mere exhibition scrimmage …much less upset enough to go harass him on his social media accounts …is utter insanity.

I get that these guys are now highly paid mercenaries and all that, but this nonsense does nothing but make UK fans look pitiful.

Wrong, it shows that UK fans expect what they pay for

Don't justify this weird, aggressive behavior that's borderline obsessive.

Him getting paid, which is legal per SCOTUS, doesn't give anyone the right to harass him online, if that's what happened. Employees like you or I also aren't harassed either. No one comes into your workplace or outside of it and harasses you and if they did, you wouldn't be okay with it. No one here is saying you shouldn't criticize a player but do it here, call into a show, or post it on your own social media account. There's no positives in tagging the player or messaging him directly to make sure he sees it as if he needs to hear from you. Most here agree with that but a few are showing their true selves by acting as if it's no big deal or it's somehow okay. Players getting paid, which again is perfectly legal, has broken the brains of some of our posters into thinking anything goes.

It's truly not a difficult thing to be a decent person and someone running their mouth directly at a college player online isn't normal behavior. People try to normalize it but it's not normal.

If anyone went to his personal space and criticized him, that is wrong.
But criticizing on something like this forum is ok

No doubt. His way of handling the scrutiny is by growing a beard and trying to learn a tough guy pose. This delusional fanbase needs an alpha and a leader, someone that knows how to run the ship with comprehension.

I don't know if Jai Lucas is that. He has all the presence of Irkel. I can see him imploding. Not an SEC coach.

You know who I think the guy is. I would get this guy wrapped up before any other big seats open up.

Didn't know much about this guy, but after reading a little, seems like a good replacement

He's a culture guy. The people at USF loved him. Will come with a distinct system and know exactly the kind of players he needs.
