Jordan Williams
Likely good as gone. Greivis Vazquez didn’t hire an agent last year either, plus in this weak draft Williams could get picked pretty high.
Sucks for the Terps = Hooray America!
Casually.
rumors state
that he hasn’t been to class in several weeks. not looking good for Maryland.

heard rumor about that
but there have been rumors about him transferring each of the last two seasons.
Good talk.

Not worried
1) The notion of Hollis in the NBA right now is a joke. If Dwight Howard farted it would blow him off the court.
2) If he was going to transfer why would he do it now? Next season he should be one of the focal points of the offense. He can play his natural wing position and guard smaller guys which should help his D. He may even play the 2 a bit if Adams, Hopkins, and Lubick play together and Clark is sitting. I could see Hollis taking a HUGE leap forward this year. This is actually one of the biggest reasons I think we could surprise next year.

hmm where should i put him though cause he also said:
“Q: “Is there any situation where you see yourself back at the University of Washington playing basketball your senior year?” Isaiah: “No.”"

Q: “No matter what you hear from the NBA you are done with your college career?” Isaiah Thomas: “Yes”

Is he any good?
I always thought of him as a shorter Aaron Brooks without the jumpshot

And with the 19th pick
The Knicks select Isaiah Thomas!!
The whole city of New York commits suicide
An NBA source said it would be shocking if Arizona sophomore forward Derrick Williams didn’t enter the draft. … Kansas’ Marcus and Markieff Morris, and UCLA’s Tyler Honeycutt are close to signing with agent Jason Martin, a source said. The Jayhawks’ twin brothers met with Martin on Wednesday in Beverly Hills, Calif., the source said. Honeycutt, a sophomore forward, has already declared for the draft; the junior forwards from Kansas have yet to declare.
Casually.
was just going to post this. Interesting. Could hurt us for porter though.

There’s been enough smoke about the Morris twins declaring with an agent on twitter, So i’m going to go ahead and call it and add them to the list.
Here are the rosters for Portsmouth
At least Austin is still listed as a top prospect, along with Macklin. Pullen pulled out from K-State
Josh Selby is supposedly going to declare and sign

Jereme Richmond
Illinois freshman Jereme Richmond is leaving school and entering the NBA draft.
Casually.
Freeman drops Portsmouth
Wright stay in. Portsmouth is really for guys just trying to play their way into the second round, Austin must be getting the signal that there is only downside to him attending. Games start today, good luck CW
Players who announced today they're "returning"
Henson and Zeller of UNC
Robinson and Taylor of Kansas(good news less room for Porter)
despite this loser's sarcastic plea
http://dukechronicle.com/article/open-letter-kyrie-irving
"I don't know. I'm making this up as I go."
Makes sense
Most players enter the draft after their senior days

Quality Uconn Education

“Before the Final Four, Crump suggested that Rhoden’s book would be the first that Walker had ever made it through cover-to-cover. After the win over Kentucky, Walker confirmed this. “That’s true,” he said. “You can write that. It is the first book I’ve ever read.”"
Wow Just Wow.

What?? what the....? How did he..
Nevermind
Perry Jones of Baylor has also announced he’s returning.
I think the lock out is definitely happening. SO many high profile picks are returning to school. If i’m someone who was going to be a 2nd round pick I actually go now because you’re going to have a great chance to sneak into the first round now with so many high profiles coming back.

Harrison Barnes returning to UNC
freeman and wright might actually get drafted in this thing.
Casually.
With Zeller and Henson also returning
They should be the runaway #1 to start the season
by rochesterhoya07 on Apr 18, 2011 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions
seems that way. Lock out which is seeming like it’s definitely going to happen is scaring a lot of kids to stay in school.
I mean try and pick a lottery right now. Besides kyrie irving and Derrick williams it’s pretty slim pickings.
Brandon Knight is supposed to announce his decision today and likely jones and liggins will announce too. Hopefully they all leave.

Calipari
has been ‘encouraging’ Knight/Jones to leave? Which really baffles me (perhaps their weak grades are about to catch up to them, who knows?)
he does this every year
it’s how he makes room for the next great recruiting class. If you keep bringing in one-and-dones, next year’s stars don’t have to worry about getting PT
"I don't know. I'm making this up as I go."
This NBA (projected) lockout
will perhaps present a huge problem to Calipari now b/c of the lack of playing time if his current players decide to stay another year. You can only sugarcoat a person for so long especially if he has promised the glitz and glamour of playing time.
The pampered youth lacks patience this day in age, so they ‘expect’ the spotlight on them. Since they’ve been labled as Micky D’s all-americans
If I recall from some gamecasts
Knight is supposed to have a 4.0 or something. No idea how Jones was doing tho

Ashton Gibbs???
Confused by this… He’s not a true point, and undersized at the 2. I put his odds of getting drafted at less than 1%.. I gotta believe he’s going to be back despite what he has been telling people.
Honestly
he needs to stay to increase his skill set at the pg position, as you mentioned he isn’t a true pg, however he’ll perhaps due well at the pg rather than the sg spot!
Honestly
I hope he goes. It makes pitt much worse. Which is always a good thing.
