If that's what we're looking at, we are gonna have a whole lot of fun next year.

I could get behind that. TB as a sophomore without foul trouble... Yes, please!

Ford's mock draft has TB as the 24th pick. More reason I feel he comes back.

Expect Thomas Bryant to declare and hire an agent

I feel this way too.

Not sure about agent though.

But ultimately I think he leaves.

It's what I was told. Hopefully it proves to be wrong..

If Bryant and Williams bolt like most people are thinking, I honestly don't know how good we really will be.

Unless you're projected in the lottery I don't get why you'd want to hire an agent immediately given the new rules.

I have a feeling they will announce for the NBA this week.

[IUsince1980 315]

Maybe I'm being overly optmistic here but I still think Bryant comes back. He may declare but would be stunned if he hires an agent. He would be a lottery next year which would make him lots more coin and as much as he seems to love college, I'd say we have him another year

How connected is your source? Like others, if I'm not guaranteed lottery I wouldn't hire an agent. I'm not sure of Bryant's situation though, maybe being a first rounder is what he's needed to hear in order to declare and hire an agent. I really hope he is back in candy stripes next season but regardless best of luck!

In my opinion, Troy leaving isn't necessarily a bad thing. Talented yes. But I don't think he will ever live up to his talent.

I agree. A frontcourt of OG, DD, and TB would be top 3 in the country. A senior Williams would be nice to have but I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if he were to decide to go pro. I wish him the best of luck and I hope he has success. Im just really excited about our frontcourt next year with or without him. Juwan Morgan is going to be monster for us as well. Major mismatch, being able to handle and shoot the ball really well. Swiss Army knife.

Add Hartman as the glue and experience to that front court along with a possible grad or JUCO transfer. We could actually be a legit two deep, without much drop off, next season.

The one thing that scares me about Bryant is this years draft is probably weaker than next years.

Yeah, idk. They say that every year though. Good players keep rushing to the D league diluting college talent. Not sure next year will be any stronger. Time will tell.

As someone smart once said. Players should be worried about which NBA player roster spot are they going to take vs. being scared of an incoming freshman being better than them. If you are worried about that you might not be NBA material anyway.

My concern with TB is his biggest ? is his athleticism and unorthodox movements. That may never really change.

So you have him coming back?

Helps that Stephen Zimmerman from UNLV declared and is hiring an agent.  More big man competition in the draft although I'll admit that I have no idea how the NBA would compare the 2 players.

Also Diamond Stone appears headed to the draft so again, how does the NBA compare Bryant / Zimmerman / Stone plus any other big men who may be available?

I think not, sadly. Would love to see him another year. 80/20. Depends on feedback. If I were a GM I wouldn't want him in the first round. Limited upside IMO.
