#3	Rob Jackson May 2, 2008 at 7:49am He had some great mentors in his corner.They advised him to go to school instead of turning pro.He's still young and has plenty of time to make the money.Run unattached until Farleigh Dickinson releases him and then he can get on with his life at liberty.By the way my son is a freshman there too. reply
