I can't blame him. I wish him the best. He is allowed to hire an agent and be evaluated. If they tell him he will get picked high, he stays in.

But, if he returns, I see Kentucky being a favorite to win it all.

Without him, not sure they have the scoring to win it. They will still have a pretty awesome team. If he comes back, he would be a lottery pick, in the following draft, in my opinion, and could end up being the MVP of the tourney.

Mel, they changed those rules. He can sign with an agent if there is no money received by the player. He can then get feedback from the teams before deciding if he wants to put his name in the draft. If he receives no money, and decides to withdraw from the draft, there is no penalty for him; he can return to play next year.

I agree Boom! Im just hoping that Maxey is as advertised. Scouting report on him is that he can flat out score. My perfect storm would be...

Hagans, Quickley
Maxey
Herro
Whitney, Brooks
Montgomery, Sestina, Richards

Thanks for the info Tip … I didn't know that. Of course that always leaves an opening for cash payments like ku, az and the dookies have been getting.

Herro will not be coming back IMO. That kid is going to in the Lottery. He has exactly everything the NBA game is built around these days and he proved that he can hold his own on defense and he is a competitor.

I agree Trey. The only knock on him is that he isn't an elite athlete. But he has excellent basketball skills, a high basketball IQ, and a good motor. His shot release is quick, and he gets decent elevation. He has a tough mindset and a hardened body, and he has NBA height for his position.

Yep. Lottery.

He may go in the first round but it would really suprise me were he to be a lottery pick. I certainly hope he is but just don't see him making the first 14 picks or whatever the lottery consists of.
