Regrets
Is anyone aware of NCAA players who were leaning towards one program, only to sign with another, and then regret the decision? It has to happen, but they may not make it public. For example, did Ivan Rabb regret spurning Arizona for Cal? It seemed like he was an Arizona lean during most of high school, but due to family pressure, ultimately stayed in the Bay Area. His two years at Cal were largely mediocre and the teams did nothing; meanwhile had he played on superior Arizona teams, he may have had a greater career (in addition to possibly wishing he was part of the program). Apparently O'Neil who clearly wanted to play for Arizona, but decommitted after the ESPN hit-job and quickly committed to UCLA, allegedly had regrets. When he plays his first game at McKale in a UCLA uniform, will feel any regret (the same goes for Williams if he signs with Oregon)?

No. I doubt there are any real regrets. Kids aren't dreaming of a 7 month stop over before the NBA

"Arizona got uppercutted out of the 2018 tournament by No. 13 Buffalo, which delivered one of the most overwhelming, lopsided upsets by a double-digit seed in tournament history (89-68). "

I was thinking Jeff Withey due to his helicopter mother.
