Something like what's 10% of a salary in Turkey.Do you know what the initial tweet said? Looks like the guy went back on it and deleted it.
I'm rooting for him. I hope he gets into the league and does very well. I just think he couldve used another year and we would've been a legit ff contender (still could be if purvis and brimah come back). Hope the kid proves everyone wrongAny UConn fan not rooting for him is an idiot. Anyone who criticizes others for rooting for him but thinking he may have made a bad decision should just worry about what they think. It's ok to think he may have been wrong, we're not the only one's. It's his chance to prove otherwise.
Well that's quite a stretch.Be happy for a kid who could have made tens of millions more if he waited a year? Those college courses must be weighing him down.
Best case scenario, as of right now, is for DHAM to be drafted at the end of the 1st or in the 2nd. Things will change when the actual combine happens. Klay Thompson was considered a 2nd rounder this time of year in all the mocks. Might have been solely for the weed arrest but regardless... 2nd round projection. Combine hit, everyone projected him in the mid teens of the 1st round. These early mocks are for the most part worthless after the top 8 to 10. Yet most on here treat them like fact.Be happy for a kid who could have made tens of millions more if he waited a year? Those college courses must be weighing him down.

There are UCONN "fans" and UCONN real fans. I'm proud of Rodney for sticking by his friend and teammate and calling out the so called fans. I wish Hamilton the best of luck and look forward to following his next step. Thanks to Hamilton and thanks to Rodney for being a class act.
Come on, let's leave the holier-than-thou attitude about fandom out of this.
We're all UConn fans here -- we want what's best for the program. Hamilton leaving was not best for the program, and a legitimate case can be made that it wasn't best for his basketball career, hence the criticism.
I agree, there's a difference between disagreeing and criticizing his decision while still respecting it and hoping he fails so your criticism is proven correct. Like many others I think it was the incorrect decision for him, but I hope he succeeds wherever he ends up.Come on, let's leave the holier-than-thou attitude about fandom out of this.

You aren't wrong with any of this. Especially the holier-than-thou attitude that many possess on this board. However, in the end, it is DHam's decision to make. Regardless of how we feel, he deserves and has earned unconditional support. No matter how you look at things, he gave a lot to this program the past two years.Come on, let's leave the holier-than-thou attitude about fandom out of this.

Most people who post do not have the guts to tell it like they think it is. At least tens tries. This board is brutal for people who don't drink the Koolaid. Look,Dham is leaving. He is likely to get drafted at some point. He will make some money but if in the second round it will not be guaranteed. Someone responded to my last post and thought that him making a million dollars next year was better than him earning nothing in college but that is a false choice. I also feel that he is making a mistake. I do feel he could be a lottery pick next year if he improves like Rip did between his 2nd and 3rd years. Making a million dollars when there is the chance of a guarantee of tens of millions is a risk he is willing to take. Maybe, I have more faith in him than he does. Am I allowed to say he is making a mistake without being called a hater?I doubt you're going to get too much love for this comment given the reputation you've established on this board. And you shouldn't. Most of your posts are insufferable.
I think the only accurate part in all this is when you said Dham is leaving.Most people who post do not have the guts to tell it like they think it is. At least tens tries.
