Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2133325, member: 1674"] To answer the bolded: 1. Players simply didn't leave early nearly as often back in the old days. Basically the entire first round this year will be freshmen or the international equivalent. This trend holds true at basically every school and Syracuse is no different. 2. Tyler Lydon returned this year when he likely would have been a 1st rounder last year. We've had a lot of guys peak in terms of draft stock in recent years, so it makes sense that they haven't returned. Ennis would likely have been a 2nd round pick if he returned IMO; probably the same goes for a junior Lydon. MCW and Dion clearly made the right decisions for themselves as well. The only ones that I think really had a chance of improving their draft stocks by returning would be Grant and McCullough. [/QUOTE]
