Can someone explain how he's playing for the royals?

[SlappyCajun]

Yeah. Just saw Parrott say he signed. Obviously, not coming back.

Sounded like a pretty good deal for Dex ...

[cajuns80]

75k and rehab money?

[kelbow7]

WTH.

[Parrott]

75k and rehab money?

And final three semesters of college paid for.

[SlappyCajun]

Got to imagine the school would pay for rehab bill. Kind of shocking. But, if the kid wanted to be a pro so be it

[Boomer]

Did he have an agent--can he have an agent??

[cajuns80]

It's his decision, can't blame em

[Doyle]

Having a hard time understanding this decision. I feel like Dex is worth WAY more than $75K and 3 semesters of school. The rehab is a wash because the University covers that anyway. He could have come back his senior year, got drafted, and received a better deal. This one is hard to swallow but I wish Dex all the best!! I'm going to miss that kid, he was a hell of a ball player!

Huge loss.
