If youre going to be selected in the 1st round for sure, it is in your best interest to go Athletes have a finite amount of time to monetize their best asset (their bodies/athleticism) so whatever VT could pay Neo for next year would have to be compared to what he would stand to lose in his last large contract. Even on a conservative estimate, he would be giving up about $15 million to play at VT. VT would have to come in at least $15 million more than what a fair market value would be for him currently. If VT has that kind of money they're better off paying 5 players $3 million than giving Avdalas an extra $15 million Long story short...it makes sense for no one for Avdalas to be enticed back to VT next season. Wish him well and hope he remembers his time fondly at VT
