Recruiting Closeout

Ace is right and I promise you guys like Sellers and Dyson are happy playing basketball and creating some finance in the game they love despite falling short of the NBA. There's money to be made over there and UConn has proven it with others like Willingham, EJ Harrison and so many others. The back up plan overseas is a nice one since they love the game so much and UConn has always found places for these guys.

A friend Jay Murphy, former BC player in the 80's and played 3-4 years with he Bullets in the NBA but then made a heck of a living overseas at a couple different places during another 8-10 years of hoops. It's been there as a fall back and many have made a great living from it.

What isn't true? I didn't imply that Jerome's ultimate goal was to play overseas, I'm saying that whether it is overseas or NBA its still his career, and if going for the surgery to repair his knee could add more years to career and his overall earning potential, then that's the best route he should take.

I read it to mean that he didn't care if he was in the NBA or overseas as long as he was playing pro (which obv isn't true). My bad.

Agree that he is probably happy playing pro and getting paid a lot of money to do what he loves. And I also agree that I doubt he has any regrets about the surgery
