At the risk of getting BabyGirl all riled up again I still thought this was worth posting. Not that many rookies starting already this year. Making us all proud!!

What a great decision he made!

What a great decision he made!

Isn't the point of going to college to get a good paying job? Caleb was offered a two year guaranteed salary of over $3.2 million. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anyone one of us would have done the same thing as Caleb at age 19. Hell, I would've left Purdue if someone would've offered me a six figure job at age 19.

And I love how Trail Blazer fans have so embraced him! Plus the NBA pressers always still mention him as a Boilermaker... Biggie is still doing much to increase Purdue's name value.

Don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me, but yes. He did exactly what nearly any of us in his situation would've done and what I would advise my own son to do in the same set of circumstances.
