Very split on this matter.  As an old-timer, I yearn for the days when college players went to college to play for 4 years and to earn a college degree.  That said, how do we classify Tyrus' year at Syracuse. In my eyes, he is their #1 player and scorer as well as the NCAA leader in minutes played/game this year. His shooting percentage is not outstanding but as Syracuse's number 1 scorer, he is constantly guarded and sometimes double teamed by their opponents. He is a true gamer.  What happens next year when Bazley, Carey, Hughes and Boeheim are available to play? Will Tyrus still be the #1 scorer/player or hopefully the ball will move around and more players will be involved in the scoring?

While I have a lot of respect for him and his abilities, he definitely is not a lottery pick this year and probably not next year. If he went to the combine and received a guarantee that he would be a first round pick, I would say that he should go to the NBA and take the money (who knows what could happen if an injury occurs if he stayed).  Like Malik Richardson, I do not feel that Tyrus is ready but who knows if him staying would improve his marketability.
