He was 22. I think he and Hield are the two highest drafted 4 year seniors in a long time.

I think it is pretty simple. If he gets to the end of this season and can be confident he will be a 1st round pick, he'll probably go. If indications are more of a 2nd round pick, he'll probably want to play another year to show more of what he can do and get himself into the 1st round.

And the scary part in that scenario is he would probably feel like he has the best chance to increase his draft stock with a grad transfer to a high major.

I never stated they weren't 23 during their rookie season. I don't know why you're changing what I said.
