It doesn't surprise me, but I'm hoping he is "testing the waters" and coming back. Although, if he gets word while he is in the process that he's a top ten pick, I am guessing he's gone. Best wishes either way.

My gut is telling me the opposite. So one of us is going to have to get their gut checked out

An interesting thought to ponder: why wait until after the banquet to announce that he's entering the draft? If he had announced last week, would he have been honored along with the seniors? I am asking because I don't know how this has worked in the past. If he's waiting until today, maybe he didn't want to draw attention away from the seniors? I'd like to think that the lack of an announcement up to this point means that he's staying. We'll see, though.

Just saw the link on the official press release on TBTSNBN. He's entering the draft but is not hiring an agent.

Hope he comes back, but if not it will be fun following his career with the other NBA Dukies. He has until June 16th to decide for good.

It used to be known as Juliovision.
Now it's also known as Moderatorville (as sung by Jimmy Buffett):

Think Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, to almost everyone except Harry and the Death-Eaters. Strictly speaking, I guess it should be TBTMNBN, making this compairson.

For simplicity's sake, can't we just call it TOBY, for "that other board yo"? It rolls off the keyboard so much easier.

Does anyone know if Gerald has signed with an agent? I've been out of touch for a bit lately. ;)

Supposedly, although Duke has not officially announced it. He signed about a week ago.

I believe buried in his large thread is an announcement that he has signed with an agent (don't know which one) so he is history at Duke.
