Will this kid likely only play one year?

certainly

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.

He’ll get $12-15M a year in the NBA

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

Kawhi Leonard was (at one point) arguably the top player in the NBA

I think you're missing the point. What amount of recruits, donor money, money from merchandise, and good will has SDSU
