Things worked out pretty well for Jabari
I'd take his career path over Jimmer's any day.

I tend to agree.

I agree with you. But some kids (like Jabari) don't like all that.

The hero part is fine, but it's about some tourney runs for me. I'm tired of one

And Jabari is already forgotten at Duke.

I've pretty much forgotten about him too. I don't follow his career or anything

I hope he sees his flub in not returning to Duke for 1 more year at least.
Mantis Mutu
4/27/15 7:58pm
how exactly was it a flub in not returning to Duke?

Missed out on being likely the best player in one of the best NCAA runs in

And he would have risked millions, if he had came back and got hurt....

Potentially in the long-term he loses money...not first 3-4 years of contract.

Going to the NBA while his stock was high as the right move. The risks he...

Yep. Jimmer is still talked about (even outside of BYU fandom).

And Bradley & his 1 year is still news 25 years later.

Even if that's true, he doesn't care.
BengalCougar

I think it's very sad if he doesn't.
Mantis Mutu
4/27/15 8:20pm
Why is it sad?
BengalCougar
4/27/15 8:22pm
He was in a position to take part in a very special tradition, & forfeited it

4/27/15 8:30pm
I think you overestimate how special it is, and forget that Jabari...

Jabari was still very much talked about at Duke this year.
SurreyDad

Jabari still would have been a top pick if he had gone to BYU.
WJCougar
4/27/15 7:49pm
But would have been much more beloved and remembered

agreed.

as a one and done?
southernfriedcougar

and he probably would have gone a round deeper in the NCAA tourney.

Plus we are going to a final four in 2017

The biggest advantage BYU has over Duke is this:

top 25? that would be a final 4 or bust team
Cougarealist

Oh CB, there are plenty of bball teams that have 4 top 100 recruits. Plenty.
BYUheaven

Plenty with 4 top 25 recruits.

To top it off, Frank is not even 17 yet

how could he jump in as the starter over those guys AND be "given time" for legs

I think that's a horrible way to try and sell it. I want Jackson to come to...
BengalCougar

But now it's 15 million Mormon so maybe it could work.
Traveshamockery
4/27/15 8:25pm
Or 5 million

This is a selling point of BYU. He won't be letting anybody down if he goes

Duke: Piece of something great. BYU: Part of something great

Dook is a piece of something, that's for sure

I don't really care about Jabari. Couldn't care less about him.
IceBlue
4/27/15 9:41pm
And if he went to BYU, right at this moment you probably still wouldn't.
southernfriedcougar
4/27/15 10:23pm
Yup. Once he lifted that Duke T Shirt, I stopped caring about him.

I wish him well, but I'll never care enough to follow his career. I looked him
