Two of nmn our very best players in our history both earned a considerable amount of money playing basketball, yet both Mullin and Berry returned to st. John's to earn their degrees.
I hate the graduate transfer rule which waives the requirement to sit nm out a season, but if that in any way provides incentive to some athletes to attain their degrees, then I'm all for it.
Good for ADR. Great article and it's very clear that he is a very bright young man who has worked hard at everything he does.
