What are the chances Lydon/Battle stay together longer than a year?

Zero chance. They are both gone. We are going to lose so many players after the 2016-17 season. Coach Hop will have a gauntlet first year as head coach.

Lot of this depends on how next season sorts out. Let's be serious, if Richardson did not have that unbelievable half against UVA or if Middle Tenn did not knock off Mich St or if Syracuse did not get into the NCAA's, Richardson would most likely be back playing at Syracuse next year. For nearly the entire 2015-2016 season he was no better than most of the folks returning to college from the pre-draft experience. Assuming Lydon continues to progress, he is totally in control of whether he goes or stays. Simply depends on how long he wants to stay in college. As others mentioned, enjoy him while he is here. Just have to wait and see on Battle. If he is similiar to Richardson then he needs a better and more consistent in season performance or outstanding post season run to be considered a first rounder next year. Just my thoughts.
