Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

Fwiw, my interpretation was that the door was open to come back. Then I saw 3 replies saying the opposite haha.

I feel like I’m so used to seeing ā€œentering 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! I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t stay gone.

Really glad we won’t have to play him again. He always played out of his mind against Michigan lol

The 11W article says he’s keeping eligibility

Not a lot to go on either way, but I read ā€œmy focus is fully on the process and taking the necessary steps to become an NBA playerā€ to mean he’s not retaining his option to come back. But [shrug].

Yeah, they edited it to say they confirmed he’s maintaining his eligibility. Originally it said his statement said that.

yet ā€œpotentiallyā€ 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 he’s 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 were…NBA if he gets a good evaluation, college if he doesn’t. Washington’s sounded like ā€œI’m going to focus on the draft and I’m all in…see ya OSUā€

Don’t know why this one wasn’t as obvious to everyone else here.

My guy was putting up 20+ shots all the time

I’ll believe he’s 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 isn’t 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 :face_with_monocle:

if they don’t 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 But has a guy ever withdrawn from the portal without a coaching change?
