CBB Onlookers Have Shocking Reactions To PJ Haggerty's K-State Move
Kansas State basketball fans were ecstatic at the news of reeling in college standout PJ Haggerty Monday afternoon.
Others weren't as impressed. Many fans were disappointed when Haggerty withdrew from the Draft to spend another year as a collegiate player. It's his fourth school in four years.
"4th school...smh have some loyalty," one fan commented under Haggerty's Instagram post. "You had it great at Memphis under Coach Penny."
Haggerty averaged 21.7 points on 47.6 percent shooting last season, with 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He ranked third nationally in scoring, earning the American Athletic Conference (AAC) Player of the Year award. Haggerty had an impressive Combine display, prompting many to believe he'd aim for the pros.

Overplayed his hand and wound up with in the neighborhood of $2.5 million for a team that didn’t make tourney last… https://t.co/95et0fOtBp
Haggerty joins a lengthy list of collegiate athletes being accused of chasing financial gain instead of contributing to the game.
Welcome to NIL in college basketball — the land of overpromising and underdelivering. Instead of running it back with Memphis, the chase of a dollar amount that never existed has led PJ Haggerty to a situation that is almost assuredly worse for him than the one he’s leaving. https://t.co/dAHjsph0cA

But even for his doubters and onlookers, Wildcats fans have shown enough love for Haggerty to shut the noise out. They are excited for his potential alongside star transfer additions like forward Marcus Johnson and guard Abdi Bashir Jr.
For now, at least.
Fire me up
