Good luck, IJ.
Not to say I told you so to all the people I argued with about there being a 0% chance he returns ... but ... yeah
You’re an idiot and you just continue making the point. Everyone here knows there may have been only a .0000001% chance he returns. Not 0%. You weren’t breaking news bro we’ve seen this dance 100 times here.

It's absolutely the right move, and our roster was constructed under the assumption he would make this move, so it's best for our current guys too.

Not that you wouldn't obviously love to have him back, but it means someone else ended up with a very different experience than they signed up for.

Hope everything works out well for him. I don't think to many on here are surprised by his decision. Just hope he get picked by a good team.

Well dam. I was holding a tiny sliver of hope out for his return. Well, he deserves it and I think he will do great things in the league. I hate that his one year was wasted, but I hope he makes it big.

Obviously would have loved him back but he gave us all we could have asked for in his time here. Have nothing but pride and good wishes for him.

Aggressive.

you should have told that to some of the people I talked to about it here. It apparently wasn’t you. Happy Memorial Day weekend, cheers

Never really expected him to return.
Was the one Freshman from last season where entering the draft was completely understandable.

Appreciate that he genuinely seemed to be a bit torn in his decision despite being a lock for the First Round and possible Lottery Pick.

Best of luck in your NBA career, young man.

It sucks guys like Timme come back to Gonzaga but guys like Jackson leave Kentucky and I don't just mean Jackson I mean just about everyone no matter if we go 30-3 or 9-16. Only that strike shortened NBA season did guys come back for 2012 then some came back in 2015. That was about it.

Frustrating!!!!!!!!

Timme likely wouldn't have been drafted while Jackson is a possible lotto pick.Big difference.

What is he going to give to an NBA team? Blocks and nothing else? I love the guy and I love the season he had but I don’t really see why someone would draft him that high.
