A little different coming back to win a second NCAA title and coming back hoping to compete for the middle of the conference.

He just asked for players coming back who could've been lottery picks...

Only Joakim Noah actually and Noah was projected as the #1 pick but then he fell to #9 and had his teammates (who weren't nearly as hyped as him) go ahead of him at #3 and #6.

One thing I think is hilarious is that we usually cannot hype up our guys enough, yet when any NBA talk comes up, everybody points out how there is no way he's good enough to go pro.

Somehow people have to rationalize Brackins hopefully returning...

What exactly is wrong with that?

This thread is like an MLB arbitration hearing...

No kidding, god forbid people want the best player we've had in awhile to come back next year.

I know, its like some people think we are talking about Sean Haluska.

But saying he's not good enough to compete in the NBA to somehow convince he'll come back? Meh. :)

Craig has much to improve, but he's got the talent there already to go. Well, except when he's at the top of the key, pump fake and then dribbles. I think he's got a 100% travel ratio when doing that.

Did it again last night and Greg was just laughing pretty hard about it. You could see him say "he did it again?".

I don't think anyone is saying that he doesn't have the talent to go pro after this year. He still has a lot of areas to improve on though. Like that mid range jumper.

If he stays another year, he could easily be a top 5 pick instead of being in the top 20. Thats a huge difference when it comes to money.

**ISUFan22** · 02-25-2009, 12:02 PM

It's also a big difference on getting the money now vs getting the money a year later.

I was just about to say that...

I'm not trying to start a Cash4Brackins commercial (it's his money and he wants it now!) or anything...I'm just going to expect him to leave and be elated if he stays.

I think the second we're done with the conference tournament, it wouldn't be a bad decision for Craig to test the waters. Winning a few more of these final games in a fun way could help keep him though.
