Wow, was not expecting this at all. He should still be back, I'm not to worried.

If his knee is healthy and he gets positive feedback, don't be surprised if he stays in.

Just wants to feel things out imo. No way he leaves

Like I said about Williams,

I hope he learned Chinese at IU. He will be back though.

??? This makes no sense. The NBA scouts aren't going to tell him anything to improve on that the average IU fan couldn't tell him.

He won't even get a workout invitation. Maybe the Pacers since obvious reasons

Quickest ACL recovery in the world if that's the case.

In that case I'm even more confused lol. He must reallyyyyy hate it here. Oh well I guess, we'll see what happens sooner or later.

Won't this pretty much allow him direct contact with scouts? This doesn't seem like anything more than a search for more feedback. I can't imagine a world in which Blackmon is draftable at this time.

So the "transfer" rumors may have been false. But nobody guessed this haha.

Awesome.

Hopefully they tell him he needs to work on his defense

They did last year. Sure they will again.

I like it

Why not give it a go?  If he listens to the feedback he gets it might be the best thing for him.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I don't understand the surprise with this years rules in place. Seems logical if the NBA is in your future desires.

[Brass Cannon 24,817]

I don't get why it took him so long to do it. But otherwise it makes total sense.

He found out his math class wasn't going so hot so he figured why not ;)
