In response to SomeGuy
My point was a bit different than whether it would be advisable to play his fifth/fourth year at Yale or at a Power basketball school. Mason applied for the draft this past spring. Based upon that, if he withdraws from Yale this year (which he had to do to preserve any Ivy eligibility) he would not graduate next year and thus if he wanted to go pro after graduation he would now be three (actually 2.5) years away. Given the fact that he has already shown his interest in the draft, I expect him to stay in school, play in 2017-18, and graduate from Yale in 2018. If he recovers and successfully returns he can enter the draft with a Yale degree. Or, he can take that degree and his additional year of eligibility elsewhere. The fact that Mason declared for the draft last spring is what makes his goals and priorities unique.
