But to say that all of these factors didn't play a part I believe to be naïve.

I think you're leaving out a couple of factors:

So where is this only 3-4 years left in the knees come from? Like most

I didn't say it was fact, but it may be what he believes. I do know he's worried

macdizzle

amen...seriously people are dumb that can't see why this would be more appealing

You must be the one putting false information into his ear. No one in a middling

I love this quote from you:

Except I don't think this action makes him selfish...and you do...so..

macdizzle

4/19/18 12:08pm

Actually you focused on one tiny aspect of a much larger post

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:12pm

okay

macdizzle

I can't fault him for moving on. Graduates, he's married, and looking to maybe

I don't know where you're getting 200 K. I remember seeing an article where

What it boils down to is making $$$$ before your body is trashed.

kotacoug

Funny as basketball isn't known to trash your body

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 11:57am

the point is, they are just maximizing their years to play professionally.

Kerbouchard

4/19/18 12:34pm

You've never heard of players with bad knees? Ankles, microfracture repairs

kotacoug

4/19/18 12:48pm

No I have never heard of Brandon Roy

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:49pm

This is just ignorance...

cornellcoug

If he's earned his degree, then I fully support him. That's what college is for.

PJMort

4/19/18 11:19am

IMO, Bryant's situation is entirely different than Mika's. Mika leaving only

gwalker

4/19/18 11:22am

You guys act like Bryant is the only one to have ever suffered a knee injury

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:09pm

It’s what is on his mind. He says it impacted how he played last season.

gwalker

4/19/18 12:13pm

If I were married and had graduated

Brigham

4/19/18 11:22am

Spot on. I have no idea why this is such a hard thing to understand.

Junior Deputy

Anyone who would rather play for free in front of 20K fans in Provo than . . .

Coop

4/19/18 11:22am

Agreed- though I wouldn't call it playing for free. Don't they get a stipend?

PJMort

4/19/18 11:26am

Probably same group of people that woukd send their kid to play at BYU instead of standford

BlueFrog

4/19/18 11:37am

Nope. I’d hope my kid picked BYU over Stanford for undergrad degree. I don’t

gwalker

4/19/18 12:07pm

That Jimmer Fredette is such a tool...right? Is that what you are saying?

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:04pm

I'm not the one who's unsure about the premise

Coop

4/19/18 12:20pm

Is that a threat? LOL

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:25pm

No, it means that your response wasn't a valid response to my comment

Coop

4/19/18 1:19pm

Bryant's interview on BYUSN started poorly, with EB referring to himself in

Iman23

4/19/18 11:27am

You think it’s odd that a woman would rather live in Europe while her husband makes six figures than stay in Provo

Grit for Brains

4/19/18 11:33am

I can pretty much guarantee you he won't make six figures next year

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:14pm

Most BYU ballers that go to Euro DO make six figures, Mika was the exception

wiscougarfan

4/19/18 12:18pm

LOL, who are these guys?

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:24pm

Average US players will make around 65K a year. The best players will make

cornellcoug

4/19/18 1:23pm

When I told my wife we had the chance to live in Europe she was thrilled.

Metallicat

4/19/18 11:31am

It's not a total no-brainer if they are thinking long-term

donnerstag

4/19/18 11:47am

Honestly question...do you travel to Europe much? You mentioned you don't

BYUfan92

4/19/18 11:32am

Wife might be one of those Utah must live down the steeet from mom girls.

kotacoug

4/19/18 11:36am

Not to mention, once you're IN Europe, traveling is sooo much cheaper.

Metallicat

4/19/18 11:38am

I lived there... it sucks compared to the US but... I am totally American biased

Pretorian

4/19/18 11:44am

Traveled there? Yes, great place to visit. I have had many friends

kimdaddy35

Well after living in Germany for three and a half years and meeting hundreds if

The ones that don't like living overseas are the ones too afraid to explore.

Metallicat

4/19/18 3:00pm

Completely agree. I had Soldiers that wouldn't even get a passport for the three

Cougar2000

4/19/18 3:24pm

If you were military that is not the same, especially if you were on a military

Pretorian

4/19/18 8:11pm

Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines. It's really discouraging.

ArchbishopMitty

4/19/18 11:37am

The real question for Mika and Bryant is whether playing an extra year at BYU

Iron Coug

4/19/18 11:39am

Another year for EB really does nothing... Mika on the other hand...

Pretorian

4/19/18 11:46am

Why would another year do nothing for Bryant? This is just plain false.

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 12:00pm

Actually I think that it is acurate

cornellcoug

4/19/18 1:26pm

I'm assuming that EB and those closest to him know him and his abilities better

Iron Coug

4/19/18 1:41pm

Elijah actually compares very closely with Jimmer

kimdaddy35

4/20/18 12:12pm

He compares closely to Jimmer just not as good.

Metallicat

4/20/18 12:53pm

OR EB graduated, he’s 23, and has no reason to stay in school other than playing

Pretorian

4/19/18 11:41am

i wouldn't call those "thoughts"...try again. think harder.

nashty

4/19/18 11:52am

Coming from you that is a compliment...thanks

kimdaddy35

4/19/18 11:58am

College helps us become employable. Looks like it worked for EB. Get over it.

I was afraid that he was going to move as a grad-transfer to a name program

4/19/18 4:05pm

I have a friend who played for Majerus at the U. Played overseas for 10 years

Y-Zag

It beats any starting job out of college.

Thanks for sharing your incorrect guesses! 😉
