Message: [QUOTE="ColchVEGAS, post: 3169112, member: 8908"] Not sure why this is a big deal. He is not the first to go this route and definitely will not be the last. I remember a high schooler doing this over 10 years ago as a junior. Played two years overseas and was then drafted in the second round. I am not sure what his potential was viewed as, but I believe he chose international over a high major NCAA program. I selfishly prefer all the top talent go to the NCAA, but why not take the money now? An education can always be had and as with any sport the window to make money is extremely small in the grand scheme of things. This route will continue to be the outlier and not the norm due to level of competition and coaching. [/QUOTE]
