Watford and Smart are most likely staying. Williams most likely gone, from someone on staff.

I think Smart and Watford coming back would definitely put us in the conversation for pressman favorites.

They all should stay due to the virus and the inability to have a normal predraft scouting process.
None of them will be able to improve their current draft stock. In fact, Watford could fall due to not being able to compete with other draftees at workouts and whatnot.

You thank Corona for Watford coming back. He was long gone if normal workouts had been available. Smart was always coming back. Emmitt will leave.

From multiple people on staff. No draft process or evaluating = very strong chances everyone stays.

That isnt true. Smart wouldve been 100% lock to go but without workouts and interviews he wont get drafted, he knows that and that's why hes staying.

If everyone returns we are going to at least the sweet 16.

Starters:
Smart
5* Cam Thomas
Watford
Days
Williams

Bench:
Charles Manning
UCLA Transfer Shareef O’Neal
4* Mwani Wilkinson
G-town Transfer Josh Leblanc
4* Eric Gaines
3* Jalen Cook
3* Bradley Ezewiro

And we’re in the mix for adding another elite recruit. This roster is fricking LOADED.

NBA executives are pushing for a delay in the draft until at least August 1st per ESPN.

If this occurs, it is certainly possible the NCAA could change the date for declaring for the draft.

Im thinking this. Next year will be a hell of a lot different than last. We have tons of depth and should see very little drop off from bench play. Wade will have plenty of horses.

Only underclassman that should even be pondering is watford.

Smart needs to add catch+shoot to his game to go to the pros as a SG. He’s not a PG.

Hopefully everyone comes back (especially EW), nothing comes of the will wade wiretap BS, the freshman PG and C are the real deal and you are looking at best LSU basketball team ever.

Don't assume Manning won't start. He would have been an all star had he been allowed to flourish the entire season. He can do it on both sides of the ball.

I understand your thought process, and I agree with you on Smart, but they have a g league to develop these guys with PRO coaches, and no school to worry about. That might be a better option for certain players.
