Absolutely should’ve went to college, just to see where his game is at against that level and take it from there. He didn’t even have to go to one of the blue bloods, he could’ve went to a smaller school, still had great competition and improve. Now, it’s make or break. He can still go back to school as a student of course but he blew his shot at playing. Bad advice all the way around.

[@comment5398]

It's different for guys like this because they've been playing against the top-caliber guys. Going to college would have only made his name bigger on a national front if he was really good. If he is really good it doesn't matter where he plays at now because there is so many more options to get into the League than back in the day. Kids born into wealth especially if they've been around guys in the league have experienced this already. He is going to the gym with his dad and Ben playing with guys who have been in the league or other top guys.
