I like what your wrote, you bring up a pretty good point. For what ever reason Lee didn't really grow on a lot of the fans, seems like fans either loved him or didn't. It may very well be him not living up to the hype/pressure of being a number one draft choice. Maybe some of the fans put unrealistic expectations on him. I think some of the criticism was warranted and some of it was little over the top. I don't think it had any bearing in him staying or leaving UND.
It ridiculous for some to think that almost immediately after Lapoint gets to college the fans are going to throw him under the bus.
