Story (LHL): Return of the Prodigal Son?

That's a bit of a hyperbole, but Mark Story does make a convincing case that allowing Randolph Morris to return to UK, if he complies with all of the necessary requirements to retain his eligibility, would not make Tubby Smith a sell-out or render team chemistry a disaster. While I'm not ready to make Corey Sears, Gerald Fitch or Adam Chiles' behavior the benchmark for the program, I do think that there is no credible reason for not allowing Randy back if possible. He exercised the rights, however ignorantly, that the governing rules afford him, and IF he is able to meet the NCAA's standards for eligibility, the University should let him back in the fall.

Note that I am not referring at all to the Cats' title hopes in 2006 because I believe that should be irrevelant in a situation like this. Morris did nothing that any other player could have done (Obrzut probably had similar draft chances to Randy's), and his ability level should not result in him receiving more or less lenient treatment from the athletic department.
