Will this kid likely only play one year?

He will definitely only play one year.

Yes, it’s a near guarantee he will only play 1 year.

For 4 million a year, I’d stick around and have a blast in college.

If he really turns into something like LeBron, so worth it

If he turns into a Lebron we should have to pay him 4M every year and we would still be underpaying. If he is above
