would be very surprised given his age and earning capacity overseas but this would be great news.

People seriously overestimate the earning potential overseas. As an "rookie" he could make anywhere from $60k-$100k. Not chump change by any means but not the $400-500k of yesteryear.

When you consider that the cost of one year at Georgetown is probably close to $50,000 (and he'd get a degree on top of it), I am not sure the cost/benefit analysis is actually that strongly in favor of leaving for Europe - especially when you consider he would live most of his adult life not playing basketball and without a college degree (unless he went back to school after he came back). Edit: Assuming they get tuition and room and board free (do they?) that's a $62,622 value right there.

Quote from DSR "Had I a rare NBA opportunity or if I were failing academically, I would have not have reconsidered. Absent those two scenarios, I felt it was best I return."
(obviously a joke by the way before anyone asks for a source)

Scout reporting he's returning to school via twitter. Very good news... The staff still needs to shore up the back-court with another guard..

Tyler Adams' tweet is gone, but that's likely more the Georgetown PR machine telling him to take it down.
