i understand why he would go early... he needs the money, big family, debt, whatever... but for people like announcers in games, coaches.. etc to tell him to go, that it's the right.... he's one year away from getting a college degree and he's going to leave on hopes and dreams? i've seen first hand my friend being an all american o-linemen and get drafted, only to get hurt (come on.. it happens) and then get removed from the redskins. yeah.. he got paid but that money doesnt last very long, even if you save it.
esp with beanie already prone to getting hurt again, i dont know how long he can last. is he going to go back to school? probably not... but i just dont think the "norm" should be these kids going early.
