Exactly what everyone said would happen immediately after the game. Test the waters... get feedback... Improve stock next year.

[Coach34]

I figured he would. Glad he will take the correct route and not hire an agent

[msstate7]

Been so long since we had a player flirt with the draft... what percentage of declare but no agent return to school?

[Bulldog1]

I don’t think he’ll go 1st round. Do y’all?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Good to go & get NBA feedback. I'd encourage Holman & Q to do the same.

Rules are way different then they used to be. I expect he gets feedback on what he needs to do to get to the first round next year and comes back for his junior season. When they hire an agent, they gone.

???? Shirley not serious.

[ZedFedder]

This is a lot like football players submitting their paperwork and getting a draft grade. It helps them to know what to work on.

[BrunswickDawg]

Hopefully he has better advisers than Dee Bost did....

Different rules. Not the same situation at all.

are you still only allowed to go through this process and come bcak to school once? Or can you go through after your sophomore year and then again after your Jr. year and still be eligible for your senior year?

[Dawg61]

So we gonna sign the 4* PG from Memphis now or let Peters transfer to Duke/Kansas like the last two guys that got advice from NBA scouts did.

It's the truth though. We can't continue to get left out in the cold here. If the 4* PG wants in we need to take him.

not at the expense of losing Peters.

I thought Bost put his name in, then didn't remove it by the deadline after getting his grade. We appealed and he missed some games due to that and not keeping his grades up??? Has the process changed that much since then?

Fun fact - Dee Bost has become a Bulgarian citizen and plays on their National Team

[Ari Gold]

I bet Nick and Q also gontjr same route just to see what kind of grade they will get .

This is exactly what happened and he had to sit out like 10-12 games cause of it. I believe the deadline has been pushed back since then though so basically the player has no excuse now to miss the deadline (not like they had an excuse before but they REALLY don't have one now).

[Dawg61]

I certainly don't want to lose Peters. How does Calipari do this every year? Gotta be nerve wracking for the coach waiting on the player to tell them what they are doing for the next year.

Maybe Q but not Nick. I thought you can only do this once.

Calipari wants them to leave. He basically pushes them out the door.

If there is a question of will they be drafted, I am sure Cal thinks he can upgrade

[Dawg61]

Yea I get that and most don't get the luxury of 4 years before he'll make them leave like Wiltjer a couple years ago but they don't all go pro after just 1 or 2 years so he's got this figured out better than most. Of course he also has plenty of 5* just waiting to sign up so it's not exactly difficult for him. We lose Peters it's going to really hurt with only Nick as our PG on the team. We lose both we'll be devastated. Not trying to add panic here. Sorry.

[smootness]

No one's panicking. There's about a 10% chance Peters leaves and about a 2% chance they both leave.

There’s a big difference between what one and dones do and what Peters is doing. They changed the rules so A) you can actually go through the pre-draft camp and meet with individual teams to be evaluated, and B) they extended the deadline to remove yourself from the draft until after these things take place so you can have an accurate account of what you need to improve on to get drafted the next year. Look at Peters tweet. He’s entering the draft so his skills can be evaluated. This is so he knows what to work on next year to be a First Round pick in 2019. There’s about I’d say a 5% chance he’s staying in and the only reason he would is because some team guaranteed he’d be taken in the first round. In that case, he should go. I’m sure Howland encouraged him to get evaluated. There is only upside with that.

I can't see any way Peters makes the jump yet.. but great idea to go ahead and get feedback..pretty much signals he is gone after next year which we expect.

I expect both he and Nick W will be gone after next year and both will be first round picks. Depending on what impact Perry has, he could be a one and done or at most a two year guy. In the 2019 and 2020 drafts, we could have at least three taken in the first round and one of those three a lottery selection (Perry). Pretty good if you ask me.

[MCsMGs]

It seems like there is a proliferation of players going this route this year...someone is really gonna have to stand out to get a decent grade for getting drafted. Lots of players contending for a very few slots.

2 first rounds picks should equate to a monstrous year..

Competing for an SEC championship and getting a top four seed in the NCAA tournament is what I expect next year. What we do in the tournament will depend on matchups but we could do something similar to what Auburn and Tennessee did this year in the regular season next year.

Hopefully he doesn't sign any sponsorship deals for Coffee though..

Guys, we need to keep Lamar OFF the magic coffee.

If he gets his hands on some, he'll be a lottery pick for sure. BOOK IT!!

Na, he'll forgo the NBA for the potential millions made as a ephedrine-coffee salesman.**
