Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Drake 7-foot frosh Dominik Olejniczak will transfer, source told ESPN. High upside kid from Poland.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN Skal Labissiere and Cheick Diallo in similar spots. Need to go now and try and get guaranteed money rather than risking being exposed more.

Given the current structure and NBA rules, it isn't beneficial at all for certain players to even come close to getting a degree. The kids didn't make the rules, the adults did.

Absolutely agree. Cannot be on the fringe

I know a few teams have Bryant as a first round grade. That's all I've heard. I would expect that he hasn't made the decision yet because he doesn't have all the information, but that's an assumption. One thing to keep in mind is the NBA is looking at age, not class year. TB is young. His birthday is 7/31/97, 18 years old. De'ron Davis, for comparison is 19 years old, born 11/20/96. The argument can be made that staying in college doesn't help you develop more than having a full time, NBA staff working with you - and I tend to agree with that. There are certainly cases where staying in college helps develop players, and fringe players should almost always go that route, imo. TB needs to look at where he is projected, what his direct feedback from NBA teams are with regards to where they are picking, and go from there. He needs to look at the payscale and if he is comfortable with that and team fit, go. If not, come back and work his way up the draft boards. Smart decisions can be made but there is risk involved regardless.

I've been talking about Phil Booth for years. Literally. Anyways, swat arrived w about a min and a half to go. Should be a good night in town

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein Diamond Stone is not expected to return to Maryland despite not signing with an agent, source told @CBSSports. College career likely over.

I agree with what Wayne said. But, also, that's going to be something he looks at. No one told me that or anything, but recruits examine their PT situation. The thing is all those guys are combo guards, at best. Al and Cujo played point this year in HS which is nice, and esp. Al seems to be trending that way moreso than the other two, but he is still not a natural point. Garland is and I would think would get his crack at PG with the others rotating around him. Now, add a soph. Scruggs and things get a little messy for Garland.

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Indianapolis North Central HS' Ronnie Johnson (@showtheworld3), who played at Purdue & Houston, said he will be a grad transfer.

Yeah that would be big

Startin' to heat up

I'm all for bringing this kid in, but it's okay to not have blind faith, as well.

Sorry, I have been all over the place lately. I think he has some similarities. I know Creans system cans sorta muddy up the 3/4 spot but evaluating a player coming in I believe it's still applicable. I think McSwain is more of a 4 shaping into a 3. Where TW was coming to play the wing at Indiana and you've seen him bring the ball up the floor in meaningful minutes. I don't think McSwain is there or will be but Crean does like to develop that so who knows what IU fans could see. He probably shoots similar TW his first two years- which is not very good. The shot is a concern. Athletically, he seems to be off the charts. It doesn't take a pro scout to see a few videos and come to the conclusion that he is soaring above everyone on those alley oops. Looks to have elite athleticism for the HM level. Troy certainly has that. Seems to be a good rebounder with 9 a game but have to wonder how much of that is playing against inferior athletes. Trying to imagine what Troy could have averaged at that level. Hard to project, I guess you just judge on what you have. I don't know much about his defense. No one seems to be talking about it which is worrisome. He had a couple cool blocks but that doesn't do much for me. As it relates to Troy, can't be a ton worse??

No no no no no no and not april fools'in

Didn't think you were starting anything. I got you were passing things along, no worries.

I don't see Morgan needing a redshirt

Simon was a stud coming out of HS, IU dabbled a bit but never got serious.

Sorry AK, had to split this into it's own to keep that other thread as it was intended. Sorta messy w the mods trying to figure out how to use the new tools but not sure I could just move posts so I combined them. Hope that's cool. Only missing post related was Stu asking for a link...think we're caught up now
