OT: Mustapha Heron to go pro, sign with an agent

Figured I'd post because he's a CT kid.

Heron, who starred at Waterbury (Conn.) Sacred Heart in high school, said he intends t go back to Connecticut to prep for the NBA Draft.

“Most of the stuff I’ll be doing at home with my dad and my trainers,” Heron said.

I'm sure he's going to finish all his classes so Auburn's APR doesn't take a hit.

Woof. Auburn would've been a final 4 contender next year if he stayed, so I'm glad he didn't.

Good luck to the kid. Always hope for Connecticut guys to do well in the league.

Think he's close to getting busted for being paid or what? Isn't he one of the guys we've heard rumors of literally demanding money on a visit?

I heard some serious rumors about him on the AAU circuit.

But nothing c_nfirmed.

I believe Auburn is on the FBI list. I thought Heron was on that list as well.

Slow down guys, Bruce Pearl deserves the benefit of the doubt.

This doesn’t make sense. Why take a pay cut if you don’t have to

Everyone knows Shaq got rich in college, he left early too.

GLeague pays less than Auburn. Odd move.

I was able to see the kid play in high school many times. He is physically ready to play professionally, but I don't know where he slots in at the next level. An undersized #3?
