Off to the NBA or testing the waters?
Edit: never mind, I got an article. That kinda sucks for the strength of the conference next year.
Hired an agent
Feels like the Big Ten canāt catch any breaks on early departures. Carr and Jackson staying would have elevated those teams for sure. Carr especially. Wagner is in a a similar situation to Carr in that theyāve accomplished about as much as they can in college and their draft stock probably wonāt improve much

This might be the worst case scenario for PSU, who will probably miss the tourney again next year but be good enough their AD might keep Chambers around.

I think Wagner could improve his game a lot if he comes back. I do not think heās coming back.
If he could develop a dominant post game, improve his D, and rebound even better, see Loyola game, he could be best Big in the country. I think he could raise his stock considerably.

I was at least 50/50 that he would come back even just a few weeks ago. Iām now down to 20/80 or 30/70 at best. BUT, Iāve been reading lately that the 2019 draft is projected to be dismally weak, soā¦you never know. He does seem to love college basketball, his teammates, MICHIGAN, Ann Arbor, and I think he and Coach B have developed a special relationship. On the other hand JB will give him the best advice possible, unlike another coach we know. If he is truly projected to be a first round pick, and more and more folks are projecting that, then he probably will go this year. If that happens, Iāll certainly wish him all the prosperity and happiness in the world. He certainly has provided us with a lot of joy and happiness. I hope he has a GREAT performance tonight, and then, let the chips fall where they may.

I think he would improve his game by coming back. But he would not improve his draft stock.

It actually might, IF next yearās draft is as weak as they say it might be. However, would it improve it enough to make it worth taking a chance? Hmmmā¦I donāt know.
Yes, but he could improve it faster in the NBA.

I think it might depend on playing time. If he goes to a team that focuses on defense and heās able to get that tutelage and get chances to improve it on the floor - whether itās in the NBA or the G league - I agree. If not, another year of Yaklich would help him with his game. But I donāt think itāll significantly affect his stock.
If I were him, Iād probably leave.

If we win the national championship, I would go if I was Moe. If we lose, and Iām Moe and I love college and the team we have coming backā¦I might come back
According to Maryland boards, Bruno Fernando is gonna declare for the draft and thereās a very strong chance he stays in.

Looks like itāll be even worse than this past year.
Honestly, Michigan and MSU (assuming Ward comes back, which is not a given) are the only teams capable of getting better than a 6 seed IMO. In fact, those are the only teams Iād feel confident of predicting an NCAA tournament bid at this point. Havenāt done a deep dive into it, just off the top of my head right now.
Surprised at the results of Dylanās quick survey on twitter today.
17/18 MSU >> 18/19 MSU
17/18 Purdue >>> 18/19 Purdue
17/18 OSU >> 18/19 OSU
17/18 Nebraska = 18/19 Nebraska
17/18 Michigan > 18/19 Michigan
17/18 Penn St > 18/19 Penn St
17/18 Indiana << 18/19 Indiana
17/18 Maryland < 18/19 Maryland
17/18 Wisconsin < 18/19 Wisconsin
17/18 N/W < 18/19 NāW
17/18 Minnesota < 18/19 Minnesota
17/18 Illinois = 18/19 Illinois
17/18 Iowa < 18/19 Iowa
17/18 Rutgers = 18/19 Rutgers
I think we will have better depth in the conference next year, but wonāt have many very good teams. We had 3 legit top 10 teams in Purdue, MSU and Michigan this past year and a top 20 in OSU. I donāt see anything close to resembling that next season.
