Built Ford Tough Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Rather than create a new thread for each underclassmen that declares/doesn't declare, I figured I'd make this one and we can update it as more announcements are made. If a big name player does or doesn't declare, feel free to make a new thread, though. This is more for the mid/late first rounders and 2nd round prospects.

Flash Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 For some reason I think if UNC loses, the big 3 will come back. I don't think any of them are that focused on the NBA because they know they're all lottery picks and let's be real, none of them are struggling for anything living the life at UNC. Hansbrough and Lawson did ok after coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Dion WAiters can be added to list of players entering draft. Not surprising really. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/25/report-dion-waiters-leaving-syracuse-will-enter-nba-draft/ Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv is reporting that sophomore guard Dion Waiters will not return to Syracuse and will, instead, enter the NBA draft. A source told Zagoria that Waiters was, “definitely not coming back” to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Myck Kabongo is out. Good decision for him personally imo, but bad considering i was hoping the Raptors could get him in the second round. AUSTIN, Texas -- Myck Kabongo was late to his own announcement. But, as it turned out, the point guard decided he was not going to be early when it came to becoming a professional. The Texas freshman announced he would return to the team for his sophomore season. "I'm more than excited about being here next year," Kabongo told the Longhorn Network. "I think that being at Texas is the best thing for me." http://espn.go.com/colleges/texas/basketball/story/_/id/7738287/freshman-guard-myck-kabongo-return-texas-longhorns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think Renardo Sidney is an interesting name when it comes to the Heat, especially where we'll be picking most likely (late first). IMO he's a top 5 talent but he's absurdly out of shape and unmotivated. If he gets to a place like Miami I think it'll do wonders for him as a player. This kid absolutely dominated everyone in his class or close to his class at the HS level and in AAU. He just really lost control of his weight I think.

Built Ford Tough Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Michigan's Trey Burke will enter. No announcement yet, although an official announcement should come today or tomorrow: Michigan freshman point guard Trey Burke is expected to declare for the NBA draft, according to a person with knowledge of Burke's plans. He spent last weekend in Columbus, Ohio, with his family discussing his options and even some close to Burke didn't know which way he was leaning, even as the week went on, but Burke was confident.He met with U-M coach John Beilein on Monday. Burke's father, Benji, tweeted at 3:16 p.m. today: "Trey Burke has not declared for the NBA draft. He is still enrolled at the University of Michigan." Burke has not made an official announcement but is expected to leave as of this afternoon. CBSSports.com also reported earlier this afternoon that Burke intends to leave. Beilein declined to comment on the news, through an athletic department spokesman. If Burke files his paperwork for the draft this week, he would have until Tuesday to withdraw under NCAA rules. If he doesn't file his paperwork, he can put off his official decision until April 29, the last day underclassmen can declare. http://www.freep.com/article/20120404/SPORTS06/120404043/Michigan-s-Trey-Burke-expected-to-declare-for-NBA-draft-?odyssey=tab%7Cmostpopular%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Word is UF's core 3 of Boynton, Beal and Young are staying. Boynton said he's coming back today. Young is staying as well. I know it isn't official or anything, but he said something about it before the tournament and again after Florida was knocked out. I know I am usually the "I'll believe it when I see it" type of guy in these situations, but I expect that to be the case (hence why I already have him listed as out) and many of the "experts" believe he will be back as well. I sure as hell hope Beal doesn't stay, though. I have him as my favourite prospect aside from Davis and absolutely love his game. Also, with Toronto getting a worse pick with seemingly each passing day, I want as many people to declare as possible so that they will at least be able to draft the left overs of the Davis, Beal, MKG, Robinson, Lamb, Barnes, Drummond grouping and not be forced to pick between Rivers, Lillard, Sullinger, PJ3, Zeller (Tyler, not Cody, I doubt Cody declares), Henson and Marshall (would love him with a 2nd pick, though) grouping.

Flash Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah Beal might have raised his stock more than anyone in the tournament. He'd be crazy if he stayed but apparently Boynton coming back is a big for him in terms of coming back to school. He loves playing next to him apparently.

Owner Real Deal Posted April 5, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Don't understand why Beal is staying. He's the best two-guard in the class. He could be giving that up to Shabazz Muhammad next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
