Oshae Staying in the 2019 NBA Draft

[OHIORANGES]

If his skills have peaked I’m glad to see him leave. Couldn’t shoot worth a damn.

 

[OrangeMaNPD]

Dean has a pretty good update on who may stay and who may go on his latest pod.

 

[Trueblue25]

Yeah now I can see a losing season.

Players seem to stay for Izzo, and understand the antics are to help them, even if he comes at them in a game like a raving lunatic. If players can stay for him why not Boeheim?

 

[SUalldway]

Before people tear into his decision, I just want to say that despite his inconsistency I still believe he has the upside of a pro. He just needs some work.

"Some work"?

BIG BAD BOB BRASWELL TIME

That's a funny post, but as arbiter of nicknaming I will confess that I approve of "Big Bad Bobby" Braswell.

Izzo has plenty of guys leave.

I miss the old days where each kid stayed in school until his eligibility ran out unless he was a lottery pick. But those days are never coming back - until maybe players can profit (legally) while in school.

That said, I think Brissett is what he is and wouldn't be a huge loss. Some completely new blood might be what this program needs.

 

[rrlbees]

really? I heard he basically hates JB

Who’d you hear that from?

This could be a blessing in disguise if he does leave. Braswell was so good in the few minutes he played and would allow Marek to get more minutes.

Of course they do, I am saying leaving because the coach is a curmudgeony old man, and leaving to get drafted are two different things.

 

[Briancuse]

He won't get a combine invite let alone get drafted.

 

[DaCuse]

I hear China buffet on Erie may be hiring

 

[Trueblue25]

Does this have anything to do with the grad transfer forward we’re interested in

 

[Briancuse]

Lets not jump to conclusions over an Instagram pic.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

You guys are all jumping the gun. There is an obvious answer to his post.

Two words!!!!!

SMELLING DEUCES!!!!!

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I'll wish this kid well but man does he need a lot of work. Time for the next Canadian (and South Carolinian) to step up.

 

[OrangeDW]

I’m only worried about it if Marek is pressed into a ton of Center duty.

If we’ve got Hughes and Marek as the starting forwards, with Guerrier and Braswell off the bench, then we’re in really solid shape at forward IMO.

 

[dan7800]

So, in the past, we had guys leave but they left to get drafted.

We may be entering an era where we have guys leave and they don't get drafted.

It's more common than you'd think. It's not a club of programs we want to be a part of.

I’m guessing yes

 

[Briancuse]

Eric, Paul Harris

They left for other reasons.

 

[OrangeDW]

Cannot stand when people are saying "WHERE'S HE GOING THE G-LEAGUE/OVERSEAS!!?!?!" I mean maybe he just wants to get paid playing basketball and doesn't care what league he's in. If he can get paid immediately and start balling, go for it. And this year he was supposed to build his draft stock by coming back and he's fallen down draft boards

I hear you but at the same time I can’t remember any of our guys leaving early by choice if they had little to no shot at the NBA.

Harris and Devo were the only ones who left early that had no NBA shot, and Devo didn’t have a choice and Harris was supposedly told his role would likely shrink drastically. I can’t think of anyone else.

Eric, Paul Harris

Fair point mentioning them, however both left with eligibility on the table due to unusual circumstances.

 

[kcsu]

He is a big loss.
