If he goes his career is over, he'll be back for a degree. Unless of course he plays football but then again it seems to me he has trouble with his stamina. He couldn't last in a Nuggets vs Suns game or vice versa. I am not trying to knock him just pointing out that he had some problems at the college level and going pro won't be any easier. Many players have gone pro before they are ready which is usually the end. He might be able to play overseas however.
In the Times-Picayune this morning, he was saying that he wanted to get this out of the way early and not have it drag out until June. I think the best thing for him to do is test the waters, i.e. go to the draft camps, get a feel for what teams think of him and where he may be selected, etc. Maybe after all that he'll realize he needs one more year before he is ready. On the otherhand, if he gets an agent, it's all over for LSU.
He is making a mistake if he goes pro after the disappointing season he had this year. He needs to go pro on a high note. But despite what he says about still deciding, I think he decided weeks ago. He is gone.
Iono about broadcasting but maybe Dancing With the Stars? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfAmbWS8gl4 j/k. Hope he stays for his own sake.
