well presumably he'd get his diploma this year, right? so that's something. and he'd have another year to develop and learn under OllieIf our best player DHam is gone,we have a weak front court, and he is not an NBA prospect and can make money somewhere, why does he stay?
I hope you are right.well presumably he'd get his diploma this year, right? so that's something. and he'd have another year to develop and learn under Ollie
and barring a bad injury, any overseas money that's available to him this year will be waiting for him next year
I've seen mocks with him in the second round next year. Granted, it wasn't on draftexpress, which I find the most reliable, but you never know. Jerian Grant was old and his stock still skyrocketed as a super senior. Purvis could play his way into the back end of the draft and become a much more popular player nationally next year, would help him overseas too.If our best player DHam is gone,we have a weak front court, and he is not an NBA prospect and can make money somewhere, why does he stay?
Because Hamilton's departure means that Purvis is the unquestioned leader of the team next year. Why not come back and take your team on a deep tourney run. Good for him, good for the school, good for his pro hopes.If our best player DHam is gone,we have a weak front court, and he is not an NBA prospect and can make money somewhere, why does he stay?
I still believe Rodney stays.
Totally agree. KO set unrealistic expectations with the quote in the off year, but Rodney works as hard on D as anyone we've had in a while. You could tell he put a lot of work in on his three-point shot in this past offseason to become a more reliable shooter. Awesome ambassador for the program, really hope he stays. He's also been gracious to my kids the two times we've met him.Rodney exemplifies what I prefer from a player wearing the uniform. I've always had your back Rodney (not that you would care) and will wish you nothing but success however your future plays out.
I love the kid's attitude, but one of the strangest phenomenons on this board imo is the overwhelming assumption that so many of our former players (a) would make great coaches; and (b) should join our staff despite lacking coaching experience.It sounds crazy, but Rodney would be an awesome assistant coach the day his eligibility expires. I know he wants to play pro ball, and he should try, but if it doesn't work out, I think he should join the staff immediately, at like age 24.
With him we are still a contender. I think Larrier and Jackson and cover the wing. Need Rodney to stay and be part of an athletic and talented backcourt. Plus we can go to a 3 guard lineup and give other teams fits.

Good question. I think that Purvis thinks that he's capable of that, for sure.You really think Purvis is capable of that?

I don't get it.
lol no we aren't
