If I were Poetl, I’d stay at Utah all 4 years majoring in kinesiology and acting on Sorority Row. The women in college are amateurs looking for love; the women chasing NBA players are well used professional gold diggers.
Kidding aside, your college years are the funnest of your life. I’d stick around and enjoy it. NBA is a job and all that goes with that. Full on grinder of 82 games, endless road trips, media scrutiny of the players, etc. I am quite sure that Larry has been filling him in on that as you hear slight hints from Larry that he might come back.
If you listened to Poetl’s post game interview, the improvement in his English Speaking skills from last year to this year is very noticeable.
