The reason we are seeing so many players return.

I disagree. Look how many top recruits have gone to Duke over the years. You cannot tell me that one attends Duke but does not have education top of mind in that decision process. And look at how many players come to college via the elite prep academy route. Duh. Education matters to them.

Yeah....we all know Zion was renowned for his academic interests......

Just sitting here on the beach when suddenly it hit me. Ive noticed that something is going on inside the minds of players. There have been a shockingly high number of very good players who are pulling their names out of the NBA draft while returning for another year in college. So why you ask?

I think it's clear more student athletes are putting the student back into athletics. Sure there are exceptions such as most who've played at UofL. With that exception I think players are valuing a good education over instant gratification that comes from fortune and fame. Both of those are fickle and fleeting but a good education.....that remains for their lifetime. As the old saying goes, "educate a man and he can fish for his own damn fish."

I think that is what we are seeing. Education means fishing for themselves. The reason they are there in the first place.

Kids today just love school. They don't value money like they did way back last season

It’s pretty early to be this hammered even if you are at the beach.

Lol,, you'd never hang with my gang at NASCAR races.. We camp whole week before the race.. By noon we'll all pretty much be passed out.. Wake up around 4-5 n start night session..

I nearly fell out of my chair during the NBA game this week when the announcers were praising Cam Johnson for going back to get his Masters at UNC. They literally said "how does he have time to attend classes?"

Post of the day; everyone knows UNC doesn't take attendance. Pick the tutor of your choice and they will complete the course for you.
