Also as we have discussed Cann is going to change things for us as far as retention and our fans aren't used to that. But they're going to have to.
Yep, It is pretty easy to get lost in the fray for a kid out of high school going straight to pro ball. I think you learn so much as a player playing college ball first and you have a chance to mature and grow up a bit. I honestly think unless you are a lottery pick(top 15 overall) it makes more sense to go to school long term. I know high six figures low 7 is tough to turn down but after taxes and living on 1100$ a month for several years it isn't nearly as much as it sounds.
