in response to MLL:

These kids are totally mislead. Does this kid and his family really think he has a high probability of success in the pros? Ego trip on the part of the kid and mom and dad. He is good enough to make the pros now he will be just as good if not better in 2 years with 2 years of college education in the bag. Bad, bad decision.

$135K for a 19th round pick isn't chicken feed, and he most likely also got an educational annuity in addition to the signing bonus that will pay for his last two years of college. It's a gamble either way. If he goes to college and gets hurt or his stock goes down he is a loser. There are two sides to the story, and sometimes it is best to take the sure thing when it presents itself.
