so they have him leaving early? Junior....right?
I think these boards tend to just rank the best players available, but aren't really prognosticating on whether somebody would enter the draft.
Agreed, and Preston seems very keen on getting his degree, and is not a likely candidate to enter the draft early, unless circumstances drastically change, according to what I've heard.
I got to thinking about how young we were in 2012 and the fact that the team got too good too soon was part of the reason why we never saw that team to its full potential in 2013.
Most of this team will be back next year even if it were not for that extra year of eligibility. Then I though that because of that many teams will still be mostly in tact next year and we might not be as dominate in the MAC as we otherwise might have been. We might need to keep Boals here until 2022-23 to see this team at full potential and see guys like BVP choose to go to grad school. But even at that, if Preston still only has a 2nd round grade, if he has his degree then you would expect him to take whatever chance he has at the NBA.
This is maybe a crazy selfish line of thinking, so I'm going to try to stop thinking about it and enjoy whatever success in amateur athletics that we might have and, of course, wish these kids all the success in life in whatever they choose to do, but I doubt that we'll ever see this group at what could have been its potential best.
