Yoeli is being told he isn’t remotely on the NBA’s radar yet he seems to have no desire to come back to BYU.

Same deal with Elijah last season.

Hopefully the new staff can get things figured out.

Do we know if that aspect of the contract has been

I’m guessing he has already taken money/had things paid for by his

Correct. Haven't heard anything official from BYU

It seems pretty obvious

What seems pretty obvious? It's a new staff. If Rose/staff was the issue, why wouldn't Yoeli come back, assuming

they just want money now... can't see beyond the paycheck...

I guess. It's not like Yoeli is going to be making big $ and probably not much more than he would be making with

Considering he could play another season at BYU and reclaim some draftability

See I don't buy the millenial stuff. If these millenials thought that returning

Still seems odd. The Jimmer example seems instructive

Wally Murph

I agree 100%. It is short sighted. Yoeli is going to play in a podunk league

or he could stay in school, get a worthless degree

Yeoli Childs probably isn't a Millennial. Generation Z or whatever they're

Probably a lot of things, but the lack of success and having "fun"

Zero chance of beating Gonzaga and winning the league??

I’ve heard a lot of these guys are excited about finally not playing in high school gyms.

Zach Morris

They'd rather play in JC gyms with garbage thrown at them?

Sorry, I can't feel their pain. At least half the games are played in a cavernous facility in front of great fans.

If they had more talent and played better they wouldn’t have to....

As opposed to broken down and dangerous high schools gyms in Europe?

Yoeli can prove his worth to NBA teams just as easily

chinngiskhaan

Not many players move from Europe to the NBA. Especially the lower leagues

Lance71

5/14/19 11:22am

and? How many BYU players move from BYU to the NBA?

chinngiskhaan

5/14/19 11:23am

But that’s apparently the rule for the best player on the team to do now at BYU.

Doesn’t that just mean he’s not a top 40 player, which we already knew?

BYUCLA

5/13/19 3:20pm

Actually means he's not in the top 106. 66 players were invited to the NBA

I didn’t realize it was in addition to the combine players. Wow.

So technically Yoeli isn't in the top 106 draft prospects

RdF3

This to me this is the truly sad thing - Yoeli isn't a top 100 prospect
