Andre Drummond and Connecticut basketball

There is no doubt that Andre Drummond is a special talent. He also will more than likely be a one and done player. ESPN's Andy Katz writes more about how Connecticut maneuvered to get Drummond on scholarship, including this quote:

"...not a single coach I’ve talked to on this subject would have done anything different. That's not a defense of Connecticut or a justification of the "creative" juggling that goes on with rosters. It is, however, the current reality..."
Yes, college coaching is a brutal business, definitely a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately one. Lose more than you win and it's a time to move on situation. But how can loyalty be preached AND followed as a team tenet when your life (Michael Bradley's in this case) can be turned upside down from one day to the next?

Please tell me where I'm wrong about this matter.
