There’s a few of us on here that are. And I have not been told once that he’s going the nba route. He is doing what he’s doing now to get real feedback. And he’s done that. Now the feedback is saying to go back to school for a year. I’ll leave it at that for now

Have a slightly OT aquestion for you Bulldog.

if Judah comes back (not saying he isn’t), hasn‘t the environment now change where the minutes at the guard position for Judah (and I realize that we shouldn’t look at the guard position but at all available positional playing time) are diminishing with the quality and quantity of players that can play the same position?

Judah averaged around 36 minutes per game and at most times he was the best player on the court, That said, he really wasn’t a proven point guard but a developing point guard? His ball distribution skills were limited (perhaps by design) to Jesse and JGIII. I feel his playing minutes will decline to about 30/game. While his skills (ball handling, decision making, ball distribution) need some work, you can not question his driving and scoring abiiities.

Guess what I m getting to, who do you believe will be the main point guard among Judah, JJ, Chance and Quadir? With Chance, JJ, Judah, Quadir, JT and Kyle, who do you feel will be the odd men out?

Chance will also get minutes at the 3. Not Bulldog but Kyle isn't going to get minutes at Judah's expense this year. Neither will Quadir. Judah will play plenty and in our new pressure defense up tempo style, he will need the breaks that he gets.

dash said it well and I agree with him. Also think about Judahs efficiency. If you played him for 30 mins instead of 36, he is not going to make the bonehead plays he made mainly bc he is also playing with better players too. This roster is a major upgrade and it will showcase his talents better. But I think some of his mistakes and sloppy play goes down because he is going to play a few less minutes
 
If Judah’s back I’ll have to grab my first ever pair of basketball seasons. Always been a Football first fan but we have a very likable staff and players who seem to increasingly value what it means to be Cuse

Our coaches don't know what he is going to do. His family has been tight lipped through the whole process.

Fair enough, and frankly what I heard was from just before the combine. It’s not set in stone and perhaps the combine performance changes things, but I’d still be surprised if he pulls his name out.
 
i'm buying season tickets again just becuz the old man is down the road.
i may not use them but at least i cast my vote.
(i'll let you all know when my tickets arrive so you all can pop down and say hello. or most likely pop up.) nose bleed baby. stash yer bag under the seat.

Yes and if I'm an NBA GM in today's world, I'm much more likely to take a late 2nd round flyer on a player like Cole Swider than I am a player like Judah, and even Cole didn't get drafted. Which is ultimately what I believe will happen to Judah if he sticks in this year, unfortunately.

Cole isn’t even close to being in Judah’s league.

Once again, I have no idea what he is going to do. I have heard from people and they are all over the place. We won't have to wait long to find out anyway.
 
Was there - would there have been - this much debate over any other player?
His shooting was often out of control miracle shots which will NOT make it in a bigger, stronger, maybe faster NBA.
His passing and court visibility translates well.
He doesn’t need to get much bigger himself - he’s not a 5.
But the lack of a 3 shot, and messy free throws, and no NCAAT experience to compare, makes me skeptical of anything before 2nd half of 2nd round.
