Lamar entering the draft, not hiring an agent

[MSUDC11]

Probably not the worst idea from his standpoint, but hopefully he makes the smart decision and comes back for another year.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

This was expected.

Mustapha Heron is putting his name in the hat and hiring an agent.

 

[kired]

Make sure he's not using the Dee Bost calendar.

 

[fishwater99]

He won't get drafted..

I think Lamar is sick of school and everything that goes with it.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Yes it was and hopefully a good thing for him to hear what he needs to work on when he returns next season.

If he does leave / quit, I know we still have an offer out to #24 point guard Tyler Harris from Memphis and he has not committed to anyone yet.

Tyler Harris / PG / 5-9 / 150 / Cordova (Cordova, TN) 0.9348 / Natl 128 Pos 24 St 2

What do you think he is waiting on?

Baylor has guaranteed him 30 minutes per game, but Penny is now pushing hard, however, will not guarantee time. He dad said, "we want to be the QB and we all know you can't have 2 QB's."

Well we have Nick already, so he won't be coming here..

I hope Nick continues to primarily play the off guard spot. Combo guard, if thats a better term for some here.
His ability to catch and get into the arc for midrange shots is consistent and beneficial to the offense

I hope he realizes that the alternative to not coming back to school for next year is moving off to Germany or Croatia.

And likely making more money than many students in his class that will graduate the following year.

Playing over seas is not the worst job in the world like some posters here think.

Marshall Henderson may not agree.

The knock came shortly after 8 a.m. on the door of a hotel room in Iraq.
"Your team is gone," a bellman informed Marshall Henderson in broken English. "They all left on a bus in the middle of the night. There is a driver downstairs to take you to the airport."

Henderson had signed a $10,000-per-month contract with Naft Al-Janoob of the Iraqi Division I Basketball League. He'd collected half of his money the previous evening, prior to tipoff of a season-ending tournament game in Baghdad. Henderson was told he'd be given the remaining amount the following morning, but instead his team had bolted without paying him.

Henderson says. "I'm in the middle of Baghdad, so all of the stereotypes started to come into play.

"I couldn't help but think, 'Is this it for me? Is this where it all ends? Is this where I'm gonna die?'"

There are many others who have made a very nice living playing over seas.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Well if he was completely sick of school he'd go ahead and hire an agent bc a good one is the difference in having a Marshall Henderson experience and a Jamont Gordon one.

But the longer term prospects go down,

rather quickly.

Mario Austin has a few stories as well. Playing overseas can be a very good career for some. But it can also be a nightmare. The one thing it's not is the goal of players coming out early.

So in other words, its like a lot of other jobs.

Not many jobs in the USA are the nightmares Mario & Marshall’s were.

I’ll put you down for holding out for the NBA.

Yeah...mario austin's claim seemed like truth and opinion mixed together.
He played for CSKA which is a very good team and continually has high level global players year after year. They simply wouldnt play for CSKA if the organization were as shady as Austin claimed. No chance would fringe NBA and national team players from arohnd the world play for a team like that year in and year out.

If Peters transfers to Duke/Kansas I'll be convinced NBA scouts are pushing guys that aren't gonna get drafted that year to transfer to the bigger name schools
