Exactly. Just because he loves Italy doesn't explain why he quit college 2 years

Why didn't he declare for the draft after 8th grade then? After all, nothing's

Yep, even second rounders get multi million dollar contracts in NBA these days.

Lots of people get married while at BYU and don't immediately drop out of school

maybe because those "lots of people" don't have someone willing to pay them 6 figs to work in Europe?

No way they spoke romantically of returning while they were in Italy. My FO sources tell me his heart was locked.

Why is it so hard to understand why we are unqualified to make that kind of judgment about another guy's life choices?
