Very good post PG.

quote:
...John Mayberry Jr. come(s) to mind in recent years. (He was) drafted in the first round again out of college. (He) turned down the money out of high school, took the risk, and ended up winning! (He) got more money the second time and (he) should get a degree from (one) of the best academic schools in the country!

Just a footnote. He DID get his degree...this past Spring and in just 4 years (actually a little less than 4 years).
