thebruce Playmaker

So this will be his 6th year out of HS.

There are not very many players that are as good as EB who are still in college after 6 years.

You are trying to find exact comparisons and the truth is that his situation isn't all that common.

If he transfers I assume he can be on scholarship at the new school correct?

4/12/18 8:05pm

Of course he’d be on scholarship. Could go for a specific graduate program or a

Right it was a rhetorical question. So a year at a cool school or location

BYUfan92

He graduates this summer. He won't need a scholarship

MaxxPower

He still needs to attend school. Which costs money.Unless you have a scholarship

He's not going to another school

If he chooses to turn professional I 100% support him

Those darn missions, he's getting old...oh wait

THIS!!! I’ve come to the conclusion I must have an inflated view of college

ColumbusCoug

4/12/18 8:29pm

He is just as old as a RM would be. He went prep school + transfer year.

Graduate transfers are happening everywhere

For whatever reason, it is the thing to do now.

get a free grad degree, or at least one year of the two free...not a bad deal if

Bryant and his wife may also want the European experience

PortlandBlue

4/12/18 8:20pm

Isn't that available AFTER another season? Why now?

What does he gain by the extra year. Why not now?

I am being honest if I was a college kid and promised a 6 figure salary

cougarfann888

4/12/18 8:39pm

But he won't be promised a 6 figure salary either.

basman

4/12/18 8:57pm

But he is also done with school

cougarfann888

Then play another year with your best friends/teammates and be part

basman

Jimmer's senior year is a perfect example for why he should return.

Ned Schneebly

4/14/18 10:35am

Why is this something that it appears only BYU players do? I literally have not heard of any other school that has kids

Ned Schneebly

4/14/18 10:23am

Bryant is the same age as most RMs. He sat out a year and spent a year

Also, the best European players typically don't go to college

thebruce

4/14/18 10:29am

Not to mention, that for a school run by a faith that teaches it's followers to not be rooted in money we don't really

Bryant will be graduating before his senior season.

thebruce

I get that, I'm talking about a graduate program and leaving unused eligibility on the table.

Ned Schneebly

4/14/18 10:36am

Some guys don't like going to school.

thebruce

Can you share some names of American born players that used Europe as a spring board to the NBA?

Ned Schneebly

4/14/18 10:49am

There are not many players that are 6th year seniors

thebruce

4/14/18 10:54am

Two problems with your argument.

Elijah Bryant also spent a year in prep school.

Some of the rumors are that he feels like his knees are degrading quickly.

Plus, BYU has people coming in that can play the wing.......

Saying it’s the biggest slap in the face ever is a bit of an overreaction

If pro, I support....but not transfer. Embarrassing either way.

Modiolus

4/13/18 4:17am

He is done with school already so I understand it

cougarfann888

4/13/18 7:27am

Or the kid wants a chance to compete on a Tourney team.

4/13/18 7:27am

There is some chatter that he may be transferring to Virginia. If true, that

He has pretty much any type of job he wants since he graduated from BYU.

Lance71

4/14/18 4:05pm

Undergraduate degree from BYU=any job he wants. Got it.

Jdoc

4/14/18 5:38pm

The alumni program for graduated BYU athletes is probably the best in the USA.

Lance71

4/15/18 12:30pm

I thought you meant a byu graduate in general.
