[B][SIZE=6]" I will just have to come back next year stronger "[/SIZE][/B]

'come back next year,' can easily be read as simply returning to basketball . . . either at the collegiate level, or perhaps as a pro. Not being cynical, just 35 years of business and negotiating experience have taught me to parse words carefully and fully because they are notoriously vague and can easily, and do often, mean different things to different parties. Consider in the case of an injury like this it may very well be MORE likely that he turns pro because if he reinjures it next year at the college level he will then be considered injury prone or "damaged goods," and his value permanently impaired . . . where as now he will probably be given the benefit of the doubt and still be considered a good prospect. If I was his adviser, and in light of the current developments, I would error on the side of going pro sooner rather than later provided his value has not already been significantly compromised- and if it has he might as well THEN come back and try and get his value back up. That is my take on his situation.
