Damn, I really hope one guy at least sees a good opportunity here. At the very least, we could use an extra leader who's a good defender.

It's still early. We got Collins in May, Bola in August, and Edwards in July.

True, but I figured we would have at least heard our name mentioned with one of them by now. My guess is we'll end up with a guy with Arthur Edwards-like numbers.

There's a report that PJ Dozier will sign with an agent, so he couldn't come back to SCAR Yahoo

Cecil Hurt's reporting that Braxton is entering the draft but not hiring an agent.

I wouldn't think there's too much to worry about here, but certainly not the best news.

Seems like a fairly bright kid, so hopefully he'll get the evaluation and come back.

He gone...

But, I do see what you are saying that he retains his amateur status by not hiring an agent. Hope he comes back.

He'll have until May 24th to decide to stay. It could be a long month.

Like, he's not even close to ready for that. He's not even close to ready to seriously be evaluated. He's an Oak Hill kid, he understands this process. This is a bit baffling.

I don't know the ins and outs of being evaluated, but what does it hurt to declare and get evaluated?

Yea - I really don't know. The whole being able to declare with a claw back to hold on to amateur status is relatively new.

Hendrix wasn't going to get any better. He was what he was. Green had other issues.

The two that stick out as guys leaving too early were Winston and Davidson. However, this is obviously different as he can come back.

I believe he's just getting evaluated. Hard to imagine he would be drafted at this point, but this will put him in front of scouts and they'll give him a very honest assessment on what he needs to improve to make the Association.

We'll see, but if he gets eval'd and comes back I think it would be a good thing for the program.

I think he will be back so Im not worried. He is nowhere near ready to be an NBA Player.
