No. They're probably getting feedback and setting up their back up plan in case WW isn't reinstated.

Well, you can only do it twice. That's why Waters is officially gone, he did this last year.

I understand:
Reid- he's gone, he has the body and enough raw tools.
Mays- he's a junior, it doesn't hurt. Plus, he might be wanting to find out if he has ANY chance; if not he might drop basketball and focus on academics.

Smart- I sort of get this; he needs a consistent jumper and maybe more decisive passes. He's actually pretty close, and he's got an NBA-ready body.

Emmitt- I don't, not this year. He's not big enough to be primarily a post guy, and he doesn't have a lot of moves yet anyway. He either needs to grow 2 inches and pick up some moves and a nice 10 ft jumper, or he needs to get a lot better with ball-handling and get some 3 pt range.

I say this all, thinking that the guys who declare and return will declare again next year. I don't think Emmitt's just 1 year away from legit NBA prospects.
