This is an article on ESPN.

Who's In; Who's Out

Here is an excerpt from the Article regarding the M&M boys.

Has links to Harris twins as well.

Jarell Martin, F, So., LSU
Martin will reportedly forgo his final two seasons at LSU and enter the draft, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Martin has sat on the first-round bubble his entire freshman and sophomore seasons. He's an excellent athlete who has an NBA body and a versatile skill set. His lack of elite length or size for his position and just a so-so 3-point shot are the things that limit his upside. But with Ben Simmons, a candidate for the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, coming to LSU next season, it was probably time for Martin to move on. Simmons plays the same position and is a better prospect. Look for Martin to go somewhere in the 25-to-40 range.

Jordan Mickey, PF, So., LSU
Mickey is a long, athletic shot-blocker who after a strong freshman season was considered a potential late-first-round pick by some scouts. However, scouts didn't see major progress between his freshman and sophomore campaigns. His scoring average went up while his shooting percentages and turnovers went down. While Mickey projects as an elite shot-blocker, his lack of strength and so-so offensive game project him as a second-round pick at best. Look for him to fall in the 45-to-undrafted range.

He was a legit case of a guy that scouts will say before the draft "You are going to cost yourself money by coming out now." And he didn't listen. If you can't get yourself right in school for another year to better yourself and your financial situation, well, good luck to you. But it is a shame.

The one bird in hand....getting a free college education is more valuable than making 65k overseas.

He can make 70k-120k after his career if he graduates. I am assuming once he leaves he forfeits the reaming 2 years of his scholarship.

Making that money could have waited. I wouldn't be surprised if NCAA doesn't start paying in a year or two.

But I thought he wouldn't go pro unless he received a favorable evaluation?

No surprise Martin will be early/mid second and Mickey undrafted IMO . Both will be out of basketball in 3-5 years having made minimum $$$$. Oh what could've been.
