Aubrey Dawkins dropped 32 for UCF and almost got the upset over Duke. Crazy game, would have been nice for father/son to pull that off. I think he still has a year left of eligibility if I remember correctly.

He still has a year of eligibility? If so, that’s wild to think about. He was in the same recruiting class as MAAR.

Yeah, he will be a pretty old senior but he took a year off to transfer and then missed his first year at UCF due to injury. Plus, I think he went to prep school prior to college. So he’ll be a 24 year old for UCF next year if I’m correct.

The 6th year isn’t always given, which Audrey would need to be eligible. If he was injured during the redshirt year, they could grant him that 6th year.

He played two seasons at Michigan, transferred to UCF (mandatory transfer redshirt), lost the next season to a preseason shoulder injury, and played this season. He would need a sixth year waiver to continue playing, though since his first redshirt was not injury-related I would think his case would be dicey. Then again it’s the NCAA so who knows. :man_shrugging:

Any chance he gets drafted? Nbadraft.net has him as the 60th pick but not sure if that’s a legit site anymore.

He would have had to get a waiver to play another year anyway. He has been on a college campus for 5 years already i believe

Like @umhoops said, Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz are the two best draft experts to follow imo. I personally like Sam Vecenie for The Athletic as well but I just like how engaging he is with people. I’m not sure how good he actually is since this past year was the first time I followed his work.

Dang he looks smooth in those highlights. Looks like an improved ball handler and the jump shot isn’t as funky as it was.

I bet that bad back was worse than we all knew. He looks quicker and bouncier than he ever was at UM.

Maybe tends to show that a decision to devote yourself to basketball can pay pretty big dividends, whether you become a longtime NBA player or not. Zak looks great.
