I sure hope PU does not let him stay on scholarship so he can work out for the draft I’ll be surprised if there’s a full season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still went back to play his senior year before going to the NBA the next year. I guess he wasn't worried about getting hurt and losing that contract because he couldn't sign u to after college was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a discussion of COVID-19 never happened. The risk is far greater than the reward for Rondale. He’s a first rounder regardless of whether he played this season. He’ll crush it at the combine and be one of the top 3 WR’s to get drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To them it was easy to leave even if it was met with are you sure talk. If someone is a first round pick it's a no brainer from the business side of things this year. Injury, risking draft status/stock....I always laugh at people who might have great incomes but don't have great savings. These kids can do that in less than 3 years and be set with the right guidance for life. Absolute no brainer for Moore to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why risk millions of dollars in such an uncertain environment when he can possibly be the next Tyreek Hill. If he was at Alabama, he would be playing. If he was at Ohio State, he would be playing. If he was at Clemson, he would be playing. But, he wasn't. He was at Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an IU board. I'm making fun of Purdue. I'm going to continue to make fun of Purdue. Whatever I post will paint the Boilers in the worst possible light. It's all part of being a fan of a team's rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
