OK, so I am not as up-to-date as the rest of you guys are. Does this mean:

1. he gone? OR
2. he's just getting the evaluation and feedback and may well be back (probably will, in fact)

Just "testing the waters". But, that is what I said about JO last year and look where that ended up.

 

[BigDaddyBuzz]

If Banks ends up not coming back then Pastner is truly cursed

I am more confident that Banks really needs one more year. Absolutely no downside for him to test it though.

Oh ****

Ladies....calm down.

EVERYONE has declared for the draft. He’ll be back.




Unless he decides not to....

Wouldn't be surprised if he hires an agent and stays in the draft. Also wouldn't be surprised if he goes undrafted.

Hell, I declared earlier today too!

I think you will stay in it though. I think Banks returns to school.

I don’t have a choice! I’m 41, married with 4 kids. One is 22 in nursing school, one is 5 , my twin girls are 3 and my wife likes Louis purses and trips to Aruba..... Lol

If you are a Jr you should declare - there is absolutely no reason not to and get the free advice.

I mean, if we keep putting guys into the NBA after only 1-2 years on this team, that's a plus too.

After losing Vess, Gueye, and Banks, we'd have a huge nationwide billboard up - Open Position, Inquire Within, Start Immediately.

If you needed more people for your counseling practice, joining and moderating this board would be a great place to find clients.

Another negative hit on the "get old stay old" philosophy ... if Asanti Price was to fit into that philosophy, we are in good shape with him, dude looks like he is 12 years old, we'll have him for a looong time (sic).

I wish yall would put more effort in your thread titles.....

He is hiring an agent which is now allowed by the NCAA. As long as James is not provided with impermissible benefits (as defined by the NCAA), he can decide to return to Tech. As RR said above, there is no reason for any SA not to try this.

Good lord, ugh. Hope he comes back

Banks is a 6'9 center who can't step out and hit the outside shot and who has issues establishing himself in the post cause he isn't overly physical. He'll be back.
