I know that you are getting alot of advise as to whether or not to turn pro, so I'll throw my thoughts into the mix. First of all you are an AWESOME athlete, one of the best I have ever seen! So that being said, I am praying that you will decide to stay in school and get your degree! YOU owe it to YOURSELF to have an education! I am well aware of the sports agents, promising you the world, right? You are a bright young man and I think you see through the nonsense. I'm sure others have said this to you as well but please think, and remember "An education is something no one can ever take away from you!!!" God Bless YOU and Roll Tide.

Dear Rolando,
As a long devoted Bama Fan, I feel I must write to you. I know that you are getting alot of advise as to whether or not to turn pro, so I’ll throw my thoughts into the mix. First of all you are an AWESOME athlete, one of the best I have ever seen! So that being said, I am praying that you will decide to stay in school and get your degree! YOU owe it to YOURSELF to have an education! I am well aware of the sports agents, promising you the world, right? You are a bright young man and I think you see through the nonsense. I’m sure others have said this to you as well but please think, and remember “An education is something no one can ever take away from you!!!” God Bless YOU and Roll Tide. Jan Hoobler, Houston Texas
