I expect news on that front perhaps as early as tomorrow. I do like how populous the draft has become, but I dunno if that'll be enough to keep him around.
But man, if he does stay... :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

I'm thinking he will take the weekend to think on it more, then announce Monday.

I think its next weekend, the 25th. The date to withdraw if you have not hired an agent is 3 weeks after that. A lot shorter time frame than last year. I think the coaches wanted to know if the players were staying in the draft at an earlier date so they could plan accordingly. AW.

PS. Has the ol' professor gotten his hat unstuck yet? :D

The longer Kyle waits, the more my hopes rise that he's waiting to announce at the banquet on the 22nd that he's STAYING! :ymsmug: Wouldn't that be cool, or sick, or dank (or whatever is cool or sick or dank to say these days)? B-)

That's why I was wondering if the deadline was before or after that.

To answer your last question at the risk of highjacking, the OP didn't even WEAR his hat for the Butler game. Didn't need it since letting the air out of the ball was OUT OF THE QUESTION! Actually we were all pretty cool about things once they won the Region. They had already overachieved so the rest was gravy.

Greg Monroe of Georgetown has declared, and hired an agent. Singler moves down one more notch in the draft pick derby...

Not necessarily. I've heard Greece or Turkey are wonderful places to play basketball.

Yes...and there are lots of guys playing there now. Somebody has to leave a team to make room for the new guy.

If what I've heard is true, Monroe is a 3 year gadjiate., similar to the Jason Williams situation.

Add Patrick Patterson to that group. Easy to see why K recruited them.

There wasn't a thread but I didn't feel like starting one. Anyone else watch the JordanBrand Classic or something like that on ESPN? Jason was calling it. My takeaway: Kyrie Irving is fast, really fast particularly with the ball in his hands. Nolan is quick but Kyrie has a much better idea of what he is wanting to do when he has the ball in his hands.
