  • Zubata, on 01/13/2009, -0/+8I don't think that i could have made that decision. Best of luck.
  • PuterPrsn, on 01/14/2009, -0/+4Great decision. I think I'd have checked with the Rhodes people to see if I could put it off for 2 years, take the draft & get a contract for a couple of years - bank the $$, then continue with the education. Best of both worlds!
