White Pelican Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Well, this news just keeps getting better. I remain optimistic however. Quote
BuiltFordBills Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Yeah I am not really worried, if you are an elite player this is the new norm Quote
moytoy12 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Just now, HoosierPal said: Perkins should declare also. Agreed. Honestly, like @billikenfan05 said, Perk is the most NBA ready. Quote
BJK Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 With their stat lines this year it makes sense... I imagine both will be back but it’s gets them on the radar of the scouts... I don’t foresee either getting enough interest but they join a list of other elite players from the conference to declare and I don’t blame em. Quote
Brighton Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Not fretting. They have a lot to polish up on. Quote
johnbj14 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 For the record, on the below site, which is a strong site historically for big boards, neither of our guys are on the top 100 draft prospects for this year. https://www.nbadraft.net/ranking/bigboard/ Quote
wgstl Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hope Perkins does too. id be more upset if these players didn’t take this approach. Quote
BillsBeliever!!! Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Last year over 180 underclassmen declared for the draft for only 60 spots. Most went back to school. I see this as a good thing for them to get to find out what to improve on (besides free throws lol) Quote
dlarry Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Doing this allows them to get feed back so they know what to work on. All this does is help their game which also helps the team. I think I might put my name in the 2020 draft too. Why the hell not? rgbilliken 1 Quote
Glorydayzedandconfused Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 The feedback they would get would look something like this Goodwin needs a tad better inside shot and three point shot French can't be the sole reason are team is bottom in the nation in FT, also needs a mid range shot, cant dunk over every NBA player. Not worried at all about them being drafted because they won't. But I am worried about them leaving for a D League team and not finishing up their degree. Quote
Clock_Tower Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Good luck Jordan and Has (and take Javonte w you) and represent Team Blue !! The fact that 2 (maybe 3) underclassmen are declaring/trying out in the same year is a testament to our program and coaches!! Quote
slu72 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I don't see either NBA ready, but if they get told by the experts maybe that will be a kick in the ass to make them better next year. JGood u need a perimeter shot and Has you need a mid range jumper. Quote
Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Ford isn’t worried at all. either Goodwin gets drafted and he becomes the best recruiting tool Ford can have since Smart or he knows he comes back next year and goes pro after Quote
Taj79 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 When in our lifetimes have we had one ... two.... maybe even three underclassmen enter the draft process? Larry Hughes; end of discussion. It can't but warmth the heart of any longtime Billiken sufferer to see this happen in our lifetimes, given our history. Having said that and offering each the best of luck, paraphrasing Aaahnold ......"they'll be baaaack." Until then, knock them dead, guys!!!!! Quote
Slufan10 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 What I don't understand is why doesn't every college player take advantage of this opportunity and test the water? Like even players who know they will probably never make the NBA can just do it for the fun of it because that's the closest they'll get to playing in the NBA. Quote

I think that is still driving most of this. Every year they only draft 64 dudes (so far) a year. Every player who makes it to D-1 thinks they have NBA potential. Quote
Taj79 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 If you declare/apply do they automatically take you? Or is there a 'cut list?' Anyone know? Quote
willie Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 With the virus I am not sure what any of this will mean. Can’t see any camps or workouts anytime soon. Quote
