I think he's probably gone, but I don't think the fear of injury keeping him from earning 85k a year in the G league is going to be the deciding factor.

Neither of us know why he’ll make whatever decision he chooses. My opinion is just as valid as yours

I will agree that neither of us know what or why he will decide. I wouldn't even be shocked, if he doesn't get good NBA feedback, that he comes back to be sure he has a degree to fall back on, in case the G league or whatever doesn't work out in the future. In fact I'd respect the hell out of that, just from what I've heard about him and his daughter. Not saying I expect that, but if I was projected to maybe/maybe not make it to the NBA, I think I'd want to get my degree. Assuming I was close to having it.

Apparently Quinerly was supposed to have a minor surgery after the season as well, per Oats.

Oats hinted that we will have someone commit today (Miles).

Nice. Now hopefully we can get Bruner. My confidence isn’t as high with that Maryland kid declaring today.

If we get Bruner there's no telling how far we can potentially go next yr. Either way we're going to see a significant increase in wins.

Harper, does that mean we are out of the running now with Bruner since the Maryland kid is going to the NBA?

No his decision to enter the draft has no influence on Bruner. That’s straight from Jordan Bruner.

Seems like a really solid job so far of turning over the roster. I obviously don't have time to watch film on all these guys (nor do I have a great eye for it) but from reading the write-ups on all of these guys their skillsets seem to match very well with what we do and want to do in the future.

Recruiting to a system is a very nice thing to see after 3 decades of seemingly just throwing darts at a dartboard.

If nothing else, it should help change the damn culture in the program! I like that we're starting with an almost completely new roster.

Recruiting to a system


That's what's got me excited also - it doesn't seem to be a collection of great athletes, but rather great basketball players who fit a role within Oats' system.

It will be interesting to see what he's capable of doing with these guys, without the burden of having to shoehorn a pre-determined roster into what he'd like to run.

We will see. The fact that Smith is Maryland’s
Second big in a row that’s gonna be a pretty high draft pick has to be attractive to Bruner.

I know that Bruner refuted the tweet that said he was waiting on smith to go pro to decide what to do, hopefully there wasnt any truth to the rumor.
