Selfishly I want the Zion's of the world to show their stuff for a year in college as I think it makes the game better/more interesting. But I understand the dichotomy of an amateurism model versus the money in the system - especially when the NCAA and colleges have worked to maximize profit...
There was a report in RTP that Lecque was told after the first day at the camp that he didn't need to show anything else and withdrew. Multiple reports/expectations now that he is gone.
Not sure exactly where to put this but Nasir Little never got comfortable at UNC because Ole Roy never fully defined his role for him. Probably some truth and some cover for the upcoming draft

Nike will give Zion 10 million reasons not to go back to Duke. It is stupid.
Somewhat interesting at least to me is whether he pulls a Manning and tries to force a trade. Supposedly his dad was on the radio in LA saying they are looking forward to wherever but I wonder if they will push a trade.
All bros aside
Love has value just overpriced so hard to move
As much as I enjoyed watching John wall “grow up” on the basketball courts of Raleigh, he has very little value and a contract that will make Washington irrelevant for years
I don't need to pay $30 M per year for a "solid pro". That ought to be a difference maker - not "no idea of being the star". Generally don't see max contract guys on rebuilding teams. I can't see anyone taking on $120M commitment for his game - and I do actually think he is a solid pro. It's...
I think they go the youth route as well which makes the magnitude of the Love signing so weird. That contract is going to be almost impossible to move. From the little I followed them last year's pick Sexton seemed to do pretty well so adding Barrett or even Zion would be a good foundation to...
He is 66 and you have to guess wanted one last challenge. Not far from Michigan (sort of) and I think his kid just took over at Niagra which is driving distance. I think I heard one of his former players is the ***'t GM. 5 year contract so if he finishes it he is 71. Doubt he finishes either...
I fully agree that at this point we need some success to help change the trajectory of our recruiting efforts. I think that is a product of the fact that CJP has now been here and established a perception (real or not) of a program with issues on and off the court, not being real "cool" and...
Heat on his seat will come - if it comes at all - from poor performance and especially fans staying away. If fans "fire" him that could force Todd to make a decision a year before he wants to. Middle of the pack and at least sniffing bubbles and he is way safe.
