Does this mean there will be no more love for Bradley? I hope not because his original offer was a class act.
And it was followed up by another class move by Andre. Nice to know the team has these type of people in its fold.
No way. Bradley's offer was incredibly selfless, and clearly he intended to follow through on it. He deserves constant praise throughout the season from UConn fans, and I expect him to get a standing ovation when he first checks into a game. Kids like Michael Bradley don't get a lot of press, but it is these types of selfless acts that are just as important to the construction of a team than anything that happens on the court.
As far as Drummoind goes, his act was just as selfless. For somebody that apparently needed another year to prep for college, this kid is incredibly mature. Not only was it incredibly generous, but he clearly had the foresight to understand the differences in situations. Bradley is an orphan, who may or may not have a future in basketball. It's possible that he will have to pay off loans after he graduates. Drummond is a sure fire lottery pick, and as others have mentioned, the 10,000 dollars or so will be nothing more than pocket change to him some day. Regardless, he doesn't have that money right now. There is a possility he blows out his knee, or for whatever reason, is unable to play in the NBA. To give up the scholarship shows he cares about his teammate and friend. This is the type of care great teams have for each other, whether they are the star of the team or the 5th guy off the bench.
