I remember reading that April 10th is the deadline for declaring eligibility or something like that. I haven't heard of any rumblings as to whether he's staying or leaving.

I sure hope he stays. I think he would really benefit from another year in college. Needless to say, the team would be sick with him coming back. On the other hand, I know that these kids can get antsy for that paycheck.

Not sure, but he keeps mentioning the incoming freshmen in his tweets and telling tiger nation to follow these guys for next year. Seems like a good sign to me

Just going by his tweets it's hard to tell if he is or isn't coming back. There has been a good amount Of tweets about the incoming class. Obviously, twitter is something that shouldn't be paid attention to very closely because they are college kids with many emotions going through their heads.

IMO that's a bad sign.

I dont think there's much to worry about here. Unless he wants to play in europe he's staying in school. He is not considered a draft pick by any site I've seen.

He had Popeyes for lunch. 3 piece dark spicy. Extra biscuit. Red beans for his side. Fruit punch to drink. Stand by for the dessert choice ...

If he stays, there is a decent chance that he would be the 3rd best NBA prospect on the team after next season.

I've been holding back, but if he stays it's likely he stays all 4 years because next year's draft is going to be tough to break highly into, unless he'd be okay with the 2nd round.

I agree with the other guy, there is a "Decent chance", not set in stone by any means. Mickey and Martin both have a lot of athleticism over JOB III

He has almost met his ceiling. The draft drafts for future high ceilings.

I think that says that. People are just really talking negatively about him without the knowledge that he has (as he's most likely gotten some feedback from his eval papers). Even if he didn't plan on going, I wouldn't be happy with that tweet.

You dont need to have a lot of knowledge to see he isnt a first rounder even if he stays all 4 years. He is a great college player but thats about it. He will get beat by 3's and pounded by 4's in the league.

I think it will be fun for him next year if he stays.
