Martin, no – too inconsistent

Mickey, no – He's not 5 in the NBA, probably not even a 4.

JOBIII, maybe – but only because he's probably tired of college

I think Mickey's all but a lock. Possibly a Lottery pick.

Martin would benefit from coming back for at least one more year.

JOB III? I'm at a loss. Great college player, not real sure how his skill set will translate to the NBA.

Martin and Mickey will return.

JOB is gone. Don't think he really wanted to come back this season, but knew he wasn't getting drafted early, if at all.

I think we have 4 guys committed and only 2 seniors. Pretty sure everyone knows JOB is gone.

If they do, will the rant blame Miles?

Martin - comes back
JOB - I would imagine coming back. Plays more of a college type of style. Only thing that worries me is that he has already been here for 3 years, which is rare enough as it is.
Mickey - 50/50 but if I had to guess I would say coming back. 6'8 players in the NBA knock down mid range shots and can take you off the dribble, which I haven't consistently seen out of Mickey. The potential is there though

Maybe this is my wishful thinking, but I think there is a more than realistic chance all three return.

JOB is gone pecan. He is a Brandon Bass type NBA player but has a better post game. Now if only he can improve his FT shooting

LSU has 4 guys signed for next year with only 2 seniors on this year's team. Simple math tells you that 2 underclassmen won't be back next year. They signed a 4 and a 5, so I think logic dictates that they expect at least one of their froncourt players (Mickey, Martin, JOBIII) to leave.

Martin is not a 1st rounder in this year's draft. While he still could probably get drafted in the 2nd round on potential alone, I think He comes back.

Mickey is probably a 2nd guy now, but he is playing his way into the first round. Especially after last night's performance against a team loaded with lottery talent. It's a toss-up on whether he leaves.

JOBIII is going no matter what. Even if he comes back, I don't think he gets any better at this level. He is what he is, a below-the-rim 4, strong rebounder with a decent mid-range jumper. I agree that he can be a Brandon Bass type player in the NBA

Martin to the NBA??? Really?? The guy is barely a contributor and disappears for most of the time he's on the floor. Big time recruit, but has showed almost nothing thus far.

JOB is the only one leaving as he should. The other two are far away from 1rst rd picks / guaranteed money

I think Martin and Mickey will both be back. JOB3 had a presser last year about going to the NBA decided to come back. I doubt that happens again again although I think it's a dumb decision. He cant play the 5 in the NBA and he isnt a very consistent shooter. Maybe he'll be a good rebounder in the NBA...

Some of these posts....

There's no chance all 3 are coming back. Losing 2/3 is most likely scenario.
