Thank all of you for pointing out the flaw in the decision process.

Most of you say that he should go get paid while he improves. There is are multiple problems with this thought process.

The biggest problem is that most players only get one shot at the NBA. If it doesnt workout by the end of his rookie deal, he'll be back at home looking for a 9-5. Its the classic "would you rather a dime today or a dollar tomorrow" scenario. Yeah he can go get paid some money now or he coukd improve his game and make MORE money later. Knowing there are only 30 teams with 12 roster spots a piece, the SMART decision would be to hone his skills as much as possible in college before risking youre future.

You wouldnt take the bar exam before finishing law school would you?

The short sightedness of athletes today never ceases to amaze me.

And the reason i compared him to tyrus and stromile is because they were both players that left the program after their second year on campus. So to say its a joke yo compare these players only further proves my point that Martin should return. If those two were so much better than martin and they couldnt cut it in the NBA, then why would Martin fair any better?

I know im beating a dead horse and hes not coming back but its not hard to see hes making the RISKIER choice. Not necessarily the wrong one since we dont know the outcome. But definitely the riskier choice.
