Professional Players Returning to College

Well, believe it or not, there was once a time that the Olympics did not allow professionals to compete. Then, it turns out that the Eastern block countries were putting athletes in the military, where their only duties were to practice/play their respective sports. By USA standards, not professional. Nowadays, professionals are the norm in competition. And by professional, I mean that one gets paid for performing. Sooo, if one gets paid for performing, they are always a professional, correct? But there is a precedent, because in golf, if you were a professional, getting checks for performing well, etc. You actually can petition the PGA, USGA etc to have your amateur status given back to you. Do not believe has happened in any other sport, but simply do not know. Probably someone else might.

CG John “Juni” Mobley, Jr. (Official Thread)

Agree Bestbuck.....howsoever, he's going to need someone to get him the ball. Don't know too many PGs that both bring down the ball, and then score it. The point of defense is to deny the open shot, or an easy feed to a big. (or so I was taught). Don't really see the logical successor to Thornton, except for Mobley! Maybe there's someone on the bench, but Diebler is successfully hiding them, and they're certainly not getting many minutes, to hone those PG skills. Smell a portal person coming. With Tilly a one-and-done xfer, Noel iffy, and the big guy from Baylor questionable, Bynum cannot be the lone rebounder. Anyway, going to be a fascinating off-season.
