    He has a Jamaican passport (or if he does not, can get one) and can make money abroad if he cannot get a training camp invite from the Bulls or someone else. Staying in Louisville for another two years would not help him. He is 6’7 now and will be 6’7 in two years. The difference is that in two years now he’ll have a couple years work experience against pros. What is the worst case scenario for him? He can make $40-50K minimum and probably six figures in a pro league elsewhere. Is he getting better than that under the table in Louisville?

    He and Richard Hendrix (couple of years ago) are in the same situation. Both were top 5 highly touted recruit coming out of high school, they even have the same game and body.

    A lot of the recruiting websites (ESPN, Scout.com, Rivals.com) rankings is not solely based on Pro Potential but also on the impact they will have in College. Jon Brockman was 16 ranked prospect in the class on 2005 according to Scout.com. It does not necessary mean that he was the 16th best pro in that class
