***Official 2018-19 Transfer Thread***
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
Rules have changed. They can have an agent and still come back.
Not 6'10", do not want! Wait...
May 29?
I thought the new rules allowed the player to stay in through the draft, then if they weren't drafted they have until the Monday following the draft to go back to school.
My understanding was that May 21 is the last day for underclassmen to enter the draft and May 29 is the deadline to withdraw and still retain their eligibility.
Huh, I missed that. I clicked on the NCAA link in the article you posted, and the rule is contingent on the NBA and NBPA making a rule change -
NBA draft flexibility
College basketball players who request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, participate in the NBA combine and aren’t drafted can return to school as long as they notify their athletics director of their intent by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft.
This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season.
Anyone know if/when the NBA and NBPA made that change?
6'6" 205 lbs. He also wears number 50, which worked out pretty well for us last time.
I think the athletes who go to combine, aren't drafted is gonna be a pretty small selection of kids. After the combine, if you were invited, you should have a pretty good idea if if you going to get drafted in the 1st round or not. Or how solidly you are in the first round. If you get a late 2nd round grade, I'm not sure why you would want to come back to school if you aren't drafted. I don't know. Sounds good on paper but if a kid gets a 2nd round grade, does the combine, doesn't get drafted, going through all those steps tells me he wants to go pro no matter what.
The withdraw deadline is June 10th now. The only players that can remain in the draft and come back are ones that were invited to the combine and go undrafted.
Yeah, I would think that by May 29 a kid has a pretty good idea of where he'll be picked. If he's getting mid-late second round feedback at that point then why sweat it out and risk not having an open spot back at school after the draft? I'm guessing that any player who stays in after the May 29 deadline is in it for good whether they get drafted or not.
It's an interesting game of musical chairs and potentially a secondary transfer market if an undrafted player can transfer and play immediately if his old school has already given his scholarship to someone else. There are some really good college players who go undrafted every year.
His coach left him last year. That is what prompted Mooney to transfer
I wanna say towards end of this month we will start to hear some names. Would probably know all of them by first week of May.
Guessing a lot of these New York kids are going to end up in the Corn fields of Nebraska with Matt and Fred recruiting
Really the best elements of Royce White, Will Clyburn, Chris Babb, and DeAndre Kane there.
I'm thinking THT is a lock to get an invite. I'm not as sure about Wigginton. I think he probably will but I guess I wouldn't be all that surprised if he doesn't.
