What part do you dislike? Lack of continuity? I love it. Why can't a kid chase a paycheck?

This is so insanely self centered. If you could make $100K more today would you leave your job?

LOL. That's a super shallow jump.

Why is it self centered for me? I’d rather have the system you advocate. But I also get that was a bad system for kids

If coaches can do it players should be allowed to do it as well.

Why would BYU want him? He looks like a poor man's Brody Kozlowski.

Right because we’ve seen a ton from Brody to make that statement.

Brody was a higher rated recruit out of high school and this guy has averaged 3.9 ppg his first

Purdue did not make the Elite 8 this past year. I will trust Coach Young, but I highly doubt he is going to
