I simply cannot fathom how someone can question Nate's loyalty. Nate, for all his hype and talent and ultimate success, is one of the most humble guys I have seen come through this program. Read the article posted about his grad transfer and you will find his teammate and fellow captain Kimbal say ,"Nate Sestina does not know how good he is". He loves Bucknell, and loves his teammates, but circumstances did not allow for him to stay 1 more year.
He could have transferred his freshman year when he got hurt. He could have transferred his sophomore year after seeing less playing time than D.J. McClay, while knowing he still would have almost no shot at beating out ZT or NF for minutes his Junior year. A player as talented as him could have chased hundreds of other opportunities across the country to showcase his ability to play at a high level HOWEVER, he WAS LOYAL to his team and this university and stuck it out to finally be rewarded with the opportunity to have the year he had worked so hard for. After all his sacrifice he finally earned a starting role, and performed so well that the Blue Bloods have come calling. Ask any of his teammates, coaches or anyone at this school and they will tell you how incredibly excited they are for him and how proud they will be to see him playing on ESPN every weekend for a P5 school. Logistically, his decision was go to Europe or another college. He chose college. He's not "ring chasing" or anything of the sort. If it were up to him he would come back and make a Sweet 16 run with the teammates he loves. Unfortunately, circumstances did not allow for him to do that. Wish the school could help him come back? Many agree. Attack his character? Shame on you.
