Could be wrong but I’m convinced Battle is gone. I know people will say OB is definitely back but let’s face it...we’ve been sucker punched lately so many times that nothing would surprise me.
When the latest mock draft had Battle going in the 1st round, that had to be the end of that. And I have no problem with that. I believe OB will be back. But like you, I have been sucker punched once too many times. Just this past week as a matter of fact.Could be wrong but I’m convinced Battle is gone.

Well Bayer is leavingI'm so gun shy from the past few drafts I'm half expecting Braedon Bayer to try and make the jump
Every day goes by and he still hasn't declared for the draft with or without an agent. What's his holdup?Could be wrong but I’m convinced Battle is gone. I know people will say OB is definitely back but let’s face it...we’ve been sucker punched lately so many times that nothing would surprise me.

Test without agent or enter draft?I expect him to declare.
My gut says test without an agent...leaving all of his options open...he seems pragmatic in that wayTest without agent or enter draft?
It's highly unlikely any Junior play's themselves into the lottery. Just not how the NBA drafts now-a-days.Any kid who is not top 15 talent should not hire an agent IMO. Test the waters and see where you stand. It is really a no lose situation. That is unless you didn’t care and just want to go to the NBA. It I think the Battles seem pretty smart about their approach to things. Could be wrong.
As for Brissett I think him returning without Bazely coming in makes him the top dog. Great showcase year. Can play himself into the lottery.
I expect him to declare.
Can a sophomore do it? I was talking about Brissett.It's highly unlikely any Junior play's themselves into the lottery. Just not how the NBA drafts now-a-days.
He has a better chance because he'd be younger. The lottery is almost all freshman, sophomore and European players.Can a sophomore do it? I was talking about Brissett.
both can be trueWhy? I expect him to stay.I expect him to declare.
If Brissett leaves then I don't know how obvious it is that we have a problem we have trouble keeping guys happy here.
I think that’s been a problem, but we don’t want to acknowledge it.
I think it has as well, but maybe this will show others what is true.
Our problem has been NBA teams telling our guys they’ll be 1st round picks. Then they are.
