I've seen Andrew Bynum around campus a couple time I heard that he is a student taking classes in the Summer...Its he skipped college he could have been very useful

Hats off to him for recognizing the importance of education! I know he lives in Westchester, so coming LMU would make sense. It would be nice if he played pick up and with the team this summer. It would be a very good experience for our bigs.

there was a lakers article a year ago or so which near the end included andrew mentioning that he had taken two summer school classes at lmu, one of them was a history class (even mentioned that he got a B or B+ in it).

proxy.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3199722"Bynum, though, has no plans to hide his less-beastly qualities. Even at 20, he's too much of his own man for that. You're talking about a Gen Y NBA player with no tattoos—and no plans to get any. "When I'm 50, I might not want something written on my arm," he says. He doesn't smoke or drink—or have any plans to once he's legal. He's got no posse; most of his best friends are away at college. One is studying to be a doctor, another is majoring in business marketing. Bynum himself says he'd be studying computer engineering if he weren't dunking on folks' heads for a living. And having promised his mom he'd earn a degree, he took math and history classes at Loyola Marymount last summer. He got B's."

thats really cool. its great for him to earn his degree instead of just putting it off til after the NBA and probably never actually doing it. its great for LMU for the pub, and even better if hes willing to stop in at a few of your practices. its great to hear stories about athletes who arent acting like complete idiots (to put it gently)
