That's true. I don't think John McEnroe had any intention of turning pro so fast when he came to Stanford, but suddenly he was beating the hell out of everybody and it made no sense to stay.

I always thought that McEnroe came to Stanford with the intention of turning pro after he won an NCAA singles title, which he expected to do in the first year.

Given his ego, coupled with his performance at Wimbledon the previous year, I don't think it came as a particular surprise to him that he was beating the hell out of everyone.
