The numbers have sort of fluctuated because of this run.

100% gone IMO: Julius Randle & James Young

95% sure Willie Cauley Stein is gone, but watching this run on the sidelines with a bum ankle could maybe make him consider staying an extra year. He came back this year to be on a team like this apparently and he sounded extremely saddened by the fact that he won't be able to play tonight.

The Harrison twins should come back, but they are right on the border of the 1st round in most mock drafts. That might be enough to force them out the door if they win tonight. When they won in 2012 they had 2 guys leave that probably should have stayed (Doron Lamb & Marquis Teague), but their stock wasn't really going to get much higher honestly. The Harrisons could actually fly up the draft board with a strong sophomore season.

Dakari Johnson is most likely going to stay, but the NBA loves guys with his size and motor.

Marcus Lee could possibly transfer considering the amount of front court talent they have coming in next year.

As weird as it sounds, this run they've made in the tournament has probably "cost" them the Harrison twins. Feel like both of them had to fly up draft boards.

They really haven't which is the crazy thing. I sort of assumed they would have by now.

Their parents are pretty well off from what I have read, so they don't really have the pressure of going early like others do.

Cal won't let them stay though if he is hearing good things from the NBA scouts

Extremely unlikely. He still needs a lot of work, especially on the defensive end.

Since people are speculating this is my speculation:

Randall, and Young are gone. WCS likely go as well. Twins? I have a feeling they will go now that they made a run. Dakari and Lee should stay, but based on potential they could pull an Orton and go, but who the heck knows.

When I was watching the KY game, a Wisky fan was sitting next to me and he was not familiar with KY. He asked me what I thought before the game. I told him their talent was off the charts but they were beatable. He was in disbelief during the game when I told them Hawkins and Lee had been on the bench most of the season. he simply couldn't believe all the players playing most of the game were all freshmen. And he was stunned with the talent of the bench warmers.

Was he as stunned that UF beat them 3 times this season?

Marcus Lee is not fricking leaving. The NBA is not going to draft a guy who only played three games in a freshman campaign...regardless of how good the games were.

Kyrie Irving played in less games and was the #1 overall pick

This is accurate. Could be 2-6.

I know. I'm just saying how little a guy plays in college doesn't really matter if the league wants you. Marcus Lee doesn't fit that at all yet.
