Can't blame the guy for wanting to play for his hometown team. I, for one, wish him the best and hope he does well in Iowa.
Hmmmm. You made me think a bit on this one. I guess it boils down to the old "agree to disagree" thing.
I see it as this: What is it with this instant gratification generation these days, not living up to their committment / word? Granted, there are always exceptions, I realize that.
In this example...Durbin is recruited by, and given, a full ride scholarship to the University of Wyoming. He accepts, attends school in Laramie, and earns his degree. During his 4 years here (one redshirt season included), he grows both mentally and physically...in fact, one could say that all his athletic attributes can be fully attributed to the University of Wyoming.
So, Ben, you recieved your degree, got stronger, bigger, smarter (I guess) etc., where is your loyalty? Where is the passion / school spirit? You bailed on Wyoming, instead of paying Wyoming back and playing your senior year. Put that shit on your resume, your future employer will appreciate the honesty.
