Guys like Collie and Plaisted left early but I don't recall the fan base turning on them. Mika's situation generated strong opinions on both sides because he left after his Sophomore season with the knowledge that he was not likely to get drafted.

Every player has the opportunity to leave and go undrafted like said player did.

No, but if you go pro early and don't get drafted, I think fans have the right

If you are a top 15 pick (or maybe even any first round pick), nope.
