Well apparently the NCAA is actually NOT considering it unfortunately. https://swimswam.com/ncaa-reportedly-not-considering-permanent-fifth-year-eligibility/

Hawthorne requested a release from WVU  so there's a chance he doesn't end up there. That's got to be a kick in the nuts since he's from WV.

Is he considered a 1st round pick? If not let’s hope the vote this summer to go from 4-5 years happens because then that’s 2 years of him here

I'm not an NBA guy and haven't checked any mocks but I doubt 1st rd. His speed and quickness will cap him. But he's got the kind of game that could male him a 10 year journeyman in the league I'd think. But idk crap when it comes to NBA talent.

If i have learned anything in recent years, it's that speed and quickness are two of the most overrated things in the NBA. Luka and Joker are slower than pond water and absolutely dominate. And people's concerns for them were speed and quickness.

I agree but I imagine GM's still consider them to be important traits for a 1st rounder? Legit asking because I know you follow NBA closely

Luka went Top 5. Joker though went 2nd round because of his athleticism... But now he's the best player in the league.

He actually  said $600,000k which is even funnier. I'm sure he meant $600k but what he said was $600M.DanD is such an idiot.

Turgeon?  Or even better THE FRANIMAL!!!!

Fran. An assistant. At IU. Please make it happen.  lol 

I was just telling someone how much i was going to miss Frans antics. As long as you kept him away from the defensive end I'm on board. 

I really like the Desmond Brisco idea as well. 

I would go a step further and say Sherron Wilkerson as a #3 on the bench would be something to consider in terms of recruiting. Not to mention the big he has signed at Northwestern.

Yes they are.  He’s solid from what I’ve seen at Montverde this season. Him and Trent play well together.

If he’s here, he’s the starter…steady handed distributor with a ton of experience. Let the other spots be scorers

I wonder if the guy from East Tennessee would be a possibility for point guard? Think he’s from Gary originally, first name Oummari (sp?) iirc
