I wish basketball would follow suit with football and baseball. also wanted to add that I've heard the talking heads discuss this idea and the consensus was it would hurt the college game too much having the top talent not participate. Personally I find the NBA unwatchable so I say good riddance. I've seen different sports at different levels and there have always been players who make plays and enjoyed watching.

Also from from hooprumors.com: A year ago, a whopping 162 NCAA and international players declared their intent to enter the draft early, but 91 of those players eventually withdrew, per ESPN’s Chad Ford. So, 44% stayed in the hopper and 56% withdrew last time.

Remember when Marcel Jones declared for the draft? I believe he returned for his senior year after that. I just looked at his Wikipedia page....He's played for 21 professional teams in the last ten years (well, 18, some he's played for more than once)!

I wish basketball would follow suit with football and baseball. I would love to see that too but the NBA kept the minimum age requirement as one year removed from high school in the new collective bargain agreement. For at least the next 7 years, we'll continue to have one and done players in NCAA basketball

LOL Or....just spitballing here....guys trying to find out what they need to do to have a shot at the NBA? Sort of like the guys on our roster are doing? Not sure how three juniors off a team that went 9-22 (1-17) is all that much different than two sophomores from a team that went 5-27 (1-17) testing the waters. Important to note that all three of them came back to school for this season, too.

Can't speak to their individual stats improving, but they went from 1-17 in conference to 6-12, so there's that. Although I don't know if a 6-12 season in 2017-18 will really make anyone happy around here.

LMAO... this kid/family are loco!
But, as I have been chided before... I never liked his game that much, but his demeanor and attitude were worse. He simply took stretches off. Sometimes never making in to half court. He pouted. He walked away from coaches trying to talk to him. He is not a NBA player... 6'10" is a dime a dozen in the league. If you do not have a power/back to the basket game with multiple moves over both shoulders or an inside out game you're playing over seas. Drew has neither. Classic case of bad bad advice to get a piece of whatever he makes.
Bottom line he is not a difference maker in terms of being an elite player. It hurts some in the position we're in right now, but better off without him if he's not ALL IN! And, this give WT time to find another big who now sees immediate PT.
But, as always, if a kid does not want to be a Beaver, good bye... good luck... have a nice life!
