Is there any number Chicken Man can offer Acuff to stay 1 more year?

I would think it would have to be more than the total his first NBA contract would be worth plus some premium injury insurance. Is there an amount, probably…is Tyson going to pay it, probably not

Chicken man knows not to put all his eggs in one basket.

The chances of my wife showing up with Evangeline Lilly and saying have fun are greater than Acuff returning to college or chicken man paying out the money to keep him.

A pipe dream not worth wasting brainwaves on.

For fringe first round picks this might be a viable conversation going forward. For a player like Acuff that is working his way into the top 3 picks? It's not even worth the thought.

He's got a deal with Reebok too.

He's only allowed to represent them off the court right now(due to Arkansas and Nike contract), but once he turns pro he's gonna really make some money with them.

There is, but he won't! Unless they could figure out how to get some big arse ROI.

Indeed there are.




You can find several scouts out there that think Smith is better than Acuff as a complete player because he's elite on defense.

If Acuff is a 95 grade on offense he's a 30 on defense. Smith might be a 70-80 on offense but he's also a 70-80 on defense.

Billy also now into the first round at #29 for next year. JJ Andrews #52, Knox #61.
