Almost a month ago—I’m not a professional analyst, yet—I wrote Should I stay or should I go? and proclaimed Jamont Gordon and Bill Walker, among others, would stay in school.
Well, they didn’t.
Walker’s decision wasn’t a big surprise, but Gordon’s was. But even more surprising was the college departures of George Hill and Luc Richard Mbah A Moute and the withdrawing of Ty Lawson, Chase Budinger and the nearly 24 year old Lester Hudson.
The league will have an official list out later on Tuesday.
Below is a list of the guys who were undecided going into …read more

Jerel McNeal and Antonio Anderson, both defensive minded senior-to-be guards, recently decided to return to their respective universities.
McNeal says he’s pulling out of NBA Draft

But Marquette will have its hands full because of Tom Crean’s departure and the perceived lack of talent of …read more

Do you love to listen and read about what is being said regarding your school’s player(s) who stayed for all four years? All too often these guys who stay until they’re seniors are not going to be lottery picks, and most will not even be first rounders. It’s almost as if these players have become boring and predictable. But many fans and alumni of the school enjoy seeing their guys get drafted despite not getting tons of attention.

Some primetime college basketball players are going to be making the most important decisions of their lives come the middle of June. By 5 p.m. June 16, possible NBA draftees will have to make the decision, the decision to hire an agent and officially enter the draft, thus spelling the end of their college careers, or the decision to return to college, which means returning to the grueling practices, the anal retentive professors and to the subtly putrid food of most college cafeterias.
