Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4008733, member: 2504"] I did not expect Marrero to get picked either, but I think he is in an interesting position. Under normal non pandemic circumstances, he would still have two years of eligibility left at UConn. A goodly number of Juniors who get picked in the draft end up going pro because they know that as a Senior, they no longer have the bargaining power to haggle over bonus money and such. However, being a Sophomore academically, if Marrero is not happy about the bonus money he is offered, he would still retain some bargaining power should he return to UConn and get drafted again next season, as he can waive the stick of being able to come back two more years, and possibly get drafted after each of those seasons. If Marrero rises to his potential next season, he could definitely rise in the draft as well, and he could be looking at a lot more bonus money. Whatever the case, I'm not about to predict if Marrero is back in Storrs next fall. [/QUOTE]
