    I'm looking at the early entries so far for the draft, and I never get why ? declare if they're projected as a late first round or second round pick. Like, stay your ass in school, I wouldn't declare unless I was projected in the lottery.

    It's a risk either way. You can leave early and be a mid/late first round pick or you can gamble like the Harrison twins did and end up a fringe first rounder and possibly even go undrafted. Doesn't always work out for everyone. For this draft it makes more sense for guys to come out if they're on the fence do to next years class being loaded with talent as well as this draft class being mediocre.

    I hear you, but I still couldn't do it. I'd at least feel better if I knew I was more highly touted. Like how there's a ? from KU that just declared that didn't even play in their last 3 games, and only averaged 7 minutes per game this season. Like, really, ? lol. Especially if I were like a freshman or sophomore, ? just need to grind in the off-season and come back stronger.

    word I hear that. Like I said tho this years class is shakey so despite his sub him having an underwhelming season he could still sneak into the top 20-25 where as his projected range before the let down was 9-16. Not bad all things considered. Business wise it makes sense for him to leave even tho he could stay in school for another year or two and improve his game.

    I want oklahoma vs unc
    North Carolina over Oklahoma in the title game!

    That's the title game I had in my bracket.

    Although a UNC-KU title game would've been epic.

    If Izzo pulls of getting Josh Jackson to commit and convinces Deyonta Davis to stay another year the Spartans are going to be nasty next year. Next year will be one of the Goats

    Tell me about it, I'm a FSU fan and both of our stud Freshman (Beasley & Bacon) declared for the draft and they're both projected as 2nd Round picks it's especially puzzling given that Beasley comes from an upper middle class up bringing. At least Bacon didn't hire an agent yet.

    Thier in the mix along with Kansas and AZ. Plus him being a home grown kid helps your bid.
