Fwiw, my interpretation was that the door was open to come back. Then I saw 3 replies saying the opposite haha.
I feel like Iām so used to seeing āentering the draft while maintaining my eligibilityā that NOT saying that implies something.
Smart move on his part. No guarantee that that he hits so many crazy shots next year! Iāll be surprised if he doesnāt stay gone.
Really glad we wonāt have to play him again. He always played out of his mind against Michigan lol
The 11W article says heās keeping eligibility
Not a lot to go on either way, but I read āmy focus is fully on the process and taking the necessary steps to become an NBA playerā to mean heās not retaining his option to come back. But [shrug].
Yeah, they edited it to say they confirmed heās maintaining his eligibility. Originally it said his statement said that.
yet āpotentiallyā implies another possible course of action!
That could have meant, despite his intention, not getting drafted, but it seems moot if 11W has explicitly confirmed heās maintaining his eligibility.
Duane please go
I will contribute to a GoFundMe for an NBA team to draft him and offset his salary
I read the Wiggins and Washington announcements back to back. Wiggins made it really clear what his intentions wereā¦NBA if he gets a good evaluation, college if he doesnāt. Washingtonās sounded like āIām going to focus on the draft and Iām all inā¦see ya OSUā
Donāt know why this one wasnāt as obvious to everyone else here.
My guy was putting up 20+ shots all the time
Iāll believe heās serious about leaving if he makes the people at his pro day workout wear Michigan jerseys.
Sounds to me Washington is testing the waters. When someone says to potentially make my dream come true. That isnāt 100% all in.
Can he talk EJ into it too
Ends any hope for Illinois fans who were thinking he might return
The new hope is that Miller might return
if they donāt land TyTy and/or Kofi bounces, Miller could take half the shots for Illinois. Curbelo is not a scoring threat. But has a guy ever withdrawn from the portal without a coaching change?
