Never been so happy to have guessed wrong. Next year suddenly looks much brighter. Wouldn't mind watching Green running behind him on the left side of the line.

In the case of Lewan I expect most fans WANT him to stay but will support him if/when he leaves early for the NFL.  He's clearly ready and will be a top 10-15 pick. 

This shouldn't be the situation like with Darius Morris, who most fans WANTED to stay but were UPSET when he left.  In that case they felt that it wasn't in his best interest to leave and felt that it was going to severely set the program back by doing so.  Still not a reason to hate on the guy, but some fans did since they felt like it was a mistake.  As it turned out, the program was just fine and his decision to leave didn't entirely blow up in his face given that he got a second contract with his home-town Lakers.
