Combine List - no Larrier or Vital

[Stainmaster]

Your next comment providing any kind of basketball insight will be your first.

Was choosing to take the news of "An insider hears we're in a good place with Jaden Delaire" and using the behavior of a different coaching staff to draw an irrationally pessimistic reaction "basketball insight?"

First I've heard of that. I would think there's very little chance, if any. He'll probably go to Duke or the like anyway.

Seth Davis:
Then there is another class of non-invited players: underclassmen who hired agents. These guys are not allowed to return to school. The list includes Louisville forwards Deng Adel and Ray Spalding, Kansas guard Lagerald Vick, UConn forward Terry Larrier, Auburn guard Mustapha Heron and Texas A&M forward DJ Hogg. I have two points to make here. First, I want to know who advised them to turn pro and sign with agents. I mean literally, I want names. Because whoever did so should never give anyone advice again.

Holy hell does Seth Davis think he's more important than he actually is. Even for him that's nervy.

Not everybody wants to be a college basketball player. It's possible - possible - that, gasp, some of these young adults made decisions on their own knowing full well what the result would be.

"I want names." Christ.

Seth Davis is a blowhard.

Still, a pretty ignominious achievement for Larrier.

In some way Spalding shows some potential but not consistently. If any of those names could be my dark horse yet still a long shot I would pick him.

My question is how did Kostas Antetokounmpo get an invite? He barely played for Dayton (5.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg, and 0.4 apg.)

I'm guessing he's got connections...?

 

[Paesano]

There's really nothing worse than visiting the Boneyard, forgetting you're not logged in, and inadvertently seeing one of your posts. Truly the worst.

I feel like you are cheating on me.

I guess. Hes nowhere near Giannis though.

I guess. Hes nowhere near Giannis though.

Was at their game at URI last year...and there was a (very) hearty/loud chant, with finger-pointing, from the student section when he was at the FT line of: "YOU'RE NOT GIANNIS...YOU'RE NOT GIANNIS..."
Probably not too original, but quite true....

Meh, Terry was an academic Senior. He could have come back but I can’t blame him for moving on to the next stage of life.

Hope Terry gets a shot at playing somewhere. It won't be in the NBA because at this time he isn't good enough. He earned his degree and it is time to move on. Good luck to him.

There is no better way to put it. NCAA college ball (and I assume college football) has a shades issue. Too many shady people hover around, get in anyones ear who is within ear shot and give all sorts of bad advice or inflated opinions. Hope this can be fixed.

Completely rando question - is graduation way earlier now than it used to be?
I graduated in 1996 on I think May 15th or 18th... whatever that Saturday in the middle of the month was.
They graduate this early now? Seems weird!

Blah.

Larrier should not be on that list.

Larrier has graduated college and like thousands of other UConn ‘18 graduates, he decided that he’s going to move on and make a living instead of going to grad school - that’s a perfectly mature decision.

I would have liked to have seen him come back next year - I think a year with a different system might have done wonders for him - but the NBA wasn’t likely in his future, so heading overseas now is an extra year in the bank.

He didn't tweet that and hasn't written anything on the Athletic in a few weeks, so not sure where that poster got that "quote". Unless he deleted that tweet and replaced it with something more reasonable, in which case Seth probably agrees with you. The only tweet I could find just said they should be able to choose to go back if they didn't get drafted.
