I love Yoeli.. and I think he's going to end up sorely disappointed in the draft

Saxa

3/27/19 3:10pm

I don't think he really expects to play in the NBA

Richbyu

3/27/19 3:11pm

Agreed. He will make good money in Europe.

PhilPete

3/27/19 3:44pm

He won't make it in Europe.

Mathew

3/27/19 4:45pm

If you don't expect to play in the NBA, why do you leave early from school?

cougarfan84

3/27/19 3:46pm

To start making millions in China or Europe.

Richbyu

3/27/19 4:03pm

Not sure Yoeli is at that level. More likely he’ll

FanofBYU

3/27/19 4:36pm

Maybe all the more reason to leave early. Make money when young.

cougaman

3/27/19 5:01pm

Which is still good money coming out of college.

Benfica1

3/27/19 5:37pm

And a degree isn’t even required.

BYUHgrad

3/27/19 9:10pm

I'm going to bet its a lot less than that.

Dillinger

3/27/19 5:43pm

You may well be right. I was looking at the high-end. Could more likely be

FanofBYU

3/28/19 1:55pm

Are they making millions?

BYU Fan

3/27/19 5:20pm

Not many jobs for a 22 year old paying $125k.

molodyets

3/27/19 5:29pm

I'm not sure they are even making close to that much

BYU Fan

3/27/19 5:49pm

Well uh good luck. Look into Rosetta Stone

Grit for Brains

May God bless Kolby Lee.

cougarfanatic

3/27/19 3:12pm

oh boy

BlueFrog

3/27/19 3:12pm

Can’t he still come back if he goes undrafted?

puntersarepeople

3/27/19 3:13pm

not if he hires an agent — was the rule until this year i guess. but he ain't coming back

BlueFrog

3/27/19 3:13pm

That was the thing that made it so he was leaving whether he was drafted or not.

crack

3/27/19 3:14pm

He wrote he is hiring an agent so that’s a no

julia6

3/27/19 3:25pm

Good for him.

molodyets

3/27/19 3:13pm

well at least now I don't have to care who the next head coach is.

archie

3/27/19 3:13pm

Least surprising announcement ever. Good luck to him.

clocker

3/27/19 3:14pm

Just glad Rose can no longer hold the program back. NCAAs here we come!!

Mr. Scoobs

3/27/19 3:15pm

why would you not even wait to see who the new coach is?

Cougarclaw

3/27/19 3:15pm

that's what everybody else is thinking too

archie

3/27/19 3:16pm

Cuz it’s not about coaching.

Soy Celeste

3/27/19 3:16pm

okay, I'll bite. What is it about then?

Cougarclaw

3/27/19 3:26pm

Getting paid to play.

smokymountainrain

3/27/19 3:32pm

Playing in Europe... Not waisting years in college, getting paid to play.

Cougar TD

3/27/19 3:46pm

Yep it’s all about the money

PKCoug

mo' money mo' problems

Croweater

3/27/19 4:04pm

How's Dastrup doing? Any chance we could get him back?

Cougarclaw

3/27/19 3:22pm

Don't understand the choice but best of luck and thanks for the memories

BYU Fan

3/27/19 3:23pm

Childs has a chance to make the NBA. He would have actually been better

kimdaddy35

3/27/19 3:25pm

I don't think so.

JuicyJam

3/27/19 3:36pm

The good news is that your opinion means absolutely nothing

kimdaddy35

3/27/19 4:29pm

Nope. He tested the waters last year and was told to go back to college.

Benfica1

3/27/19 5:39pm

Yes, we are all aware of that.

kimdaddy35

3/28/19 11:14am

He had NO shot after his Freshman year. He wasn't even on the radar.

Benfica1

3/28/19 1:29pm

Good for him. Why stay?

Lip Gallagher

3/27/19 3:27pm

Coach Rose? Lewis? LaComb is that you?

PJMort

3/27/19 3:33pm

Why not? Finish your degree or get a secondary degree.

BYU Fan

3/27/19 3:37pm

He can do whatever he wants. Cougar fans don't get to tell him what to do.

WJCougar

3/27/19 3:59pm

No duh. But BYU Fan asks good questions.

itsuptoyou

3/27/19 4:01pm

BYU fans that say he should stay don't really know the situation.

WJCougar

3/27/19 4:45pm

Are you twelve?

LDTemplar

3/27/19 5:18pm

Its ridiculous that people here think he should stay.

WJCougar

3/28/19 12:41pm

Isn't poking our nose where it doesn't belong what CB is all about?

soupie

3/28/19 12:47pm

Absolutely he can do what he wants

BYU Fan

3/27/19 5:23pm

Maybe because he can go start making money for his wife now and not later.

Lip Gallagher

3/27/19 4:19pm

It matters because our peers are not experiencing the same attrition with the

Ash

3/27/19 5:02pm

LOL nobody is willing to answer your perfectly reasonable question. I guess

Ash

3/27/19 5:00pm

Good on Yoeli. He’s going to make a good living playing a game he loves.

UNHuskerCoug

3/27/19 3:32pm

I'll never forget Yoeli's game against Utah. His performance and 1v2 (3?) dunk

molecougarman

3/27/19 3:35pm

Look what all you Rose haters have done!!!

Troy McClure

3/27/19 3:47pm

Best wishes for Yoeli. He came back last year and it was fun to watch him.

PJMort

3/27/19 3:51pm

Next season is feels a tad scary at the moment

LifelongAP

3/27/19 3:55pm

Curious what his wife thinks. If she still has a year of volleyball at UVU and

wonderbred

3/27/19 4:01pm

I’m sure he didn’t consult her

pink22

3/27/19 4:03pm

That’s not my point. My wife goes along with what I want to do even though it’s

wonderbred

3/27/19 4:08pm

Do you sometimes go along with your wife even if it's not what you want?

StantonMac

3/27/19 4:27pm

I guess I’m just saying I’m sure she has her own dreams and hopefully she won’t

wonderbred

3/27/19 4:43pm

Who’s gonna be our big next year? Does Worthington have another year?

Gerald-DeGroot

3/27/19 4:29pm

Crap.

Byu_1988

3/27/19 4:40pm

Maybe that's why he decided to leave.

Ash

3/27/19 5:23pm

With Yoeli it next year would have looked pretty good.

HighHorse

3/27/19 5:28pm

I don't think anyone is surprised by this news, eh?

Benfica1

3/27/19 5:40pm

to those of you holding out hope that he'll back
