Is there any hope of Martin deciding to return?

IMO, if i was told by the scouts that i had that many holes in my game, i think id go back to school and try to fix one or two of those issues before jumping to the NBA.
the problem Martin will face is that he really doesnt have one thing that he does dominant that he can lean on as a young NBA player. sure hes really athletic but thats not really a "basketball" skill and doesnt produce success on its own. plenty of great athletes wash out because they lack true basketball skills and the NBA doesnt have to time to let these guys learn.
i just feel like i am watching another Stromile Swift or Tyrus Thomas. id hate to see Martin struggle in the NBA like those two when he could come back to play on one of the best teams LSu has fielded in a very long time.
what say you?

Or potentially find a roster spot and improve my game under NBA coaches and get paid doing it. Also, not dealing with school anymore....

He's going to the NBA. It's done.

maybe he'll see this thread and reconsider

He won't be back, this is from the horse's mouth.

If they're willing to pay you upfront to work on these issues? Nah, I'd go ahead and take the money, and so would you.

These guys made probably $20 million a piece. He's gone.
Edit: Stromile: Career (may be incomplete) $43,190,443
T-Rex Thomas: Career (may be incomplete) $37,176,893

And they have more time to work on their game in the nba with better coaches. Hell, a lot of them get personal coaches. I know AD has one.
He's going to be a 1st round pick. He shouldn't pass that up

For one thing, he already declared. He's good enough to not be an idiot for leaving. Mickey needs another year to become a clutch player and FT shooter
Posted on 3/30/15 at 12:16 pm to Bert Macklin FBI
nah he saw that paycheck.......

If he returns he may be one of top picks next year but if he leaves he could become nobody.
