if only one knew

Everyone who accepts a scholarship to play at Duke thinks he is going to start and move on to the NBA. The is no way of knowing, ex ante, whether you will star or ride the pine.

If a kid has a chance to play ball at Duke, he should go to Duke

OpusX

4/24/15 8:38am

So proud of my son. I asked him where he would go if both offered? Answer BYU.

blueaussie

No he's just doing the actuarial work on your son being offered by Duke

Big Daddy D

4/24/15 11:41am

Not me. I wouldn't apply pressure for him to go to BYU, but

gwalker

4/24/15 9:19am

A simplistic and lame answer...

teancum

4/24/15 10:07am

I completely disagree! Very simplistic comment

kC Cougar

4/24/15 10:21am

An even more simplistic response.

OpusX

4/24/15 10:58am

I apologize, I mis-read your post.

So many variables. If my kid had an offer to both I would want him to

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 11:03am

If my kid picked a school based on dating pool, I'd slap him upside the head

OpusX

4/24/15 11:16am

I can only guess that you live in Utah then

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 11:59am

^^^thinks if you don't go to college in Utah you won't get married in temple

run26

4/24/15 12:19pm

Either your reading comprehension or your ability to deduce my thoughts

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 12:32pm

you're the one who suggested OpusX might not care about the salvation of his son

run26

4/24/15 12:36pm

Again, please learn reading comprehension.

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 12:42pm

We don't know much about the dating life of many LDS athletes, one prime example

bagman

4/24/15 7:10pm

Very very ironic that you would say this the day 7 byu girls were on dr phil

run26

4/24/15 7:21pm

It would have for Teo- It doesn't for everyone

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 8:59pm

the Dr. Phil girls were not bad looking, and Teo has tons of options in San

calvindyer

4/25/15 1:47am

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder-so every young lady is beautiful

kimdaddy35

4/25/15 2:17am

When you have many more girls in your dating range with your standards you

bagman

4/25/15 2:06pm

Oh, and next time you see 7 college football players on Dr. Phil with online

bagman

4/25/15 4:13pm

ypu said if Teo was at BYU he wouldn't have had to go on-line to date

run26

4/25/15 4:43pm

You're telling me the dating prospects of BYU football players is similar to

bagman

4/26/15 1:40am

everyone at byu including football players is under pressure to find someone

run26

4/26/15 8:09am

And therefore you perpetuate the haves and have nots of power in college sports

BYU has a stigma that it will never be elite because of the honor code....FJ

#2 is unimportant for a kid from Utah County

Big Daddy D

4/24/15 11:39am

leaving will make him more exotic and worldy and work to his favor when he comes

Too long for me. I disagree or agree with you depending on what you said.
