I'm sorry, did this guy make a post to quote himself?

 

[bke1984]

Anyone care to summarize since it’s behind the pay wall?

Reading between the lines, is Deluca trying to persuade Jose to go pro? Or is it just a generic motivational message? Deluca is his former coach, I guess. What is this "HOPE Productions" stuff?

Jose is in NYC training for pro workouts and spending time with family.

I don't think there's anything nefarious here. Jose should be doing that.

I guess nothing important?

No. It was a pretty good write-up.

Things are fluid though.

Hiring an agent AND maintaining eligibility? I thought players weren't allowed to do that?

Rule changed a couple of years ago. I think there are basically NCAA approved agents.

 

[CLM]

Yeah, I don’t understand that message either. Anyone know?

 

[Peacone36]

It was a change the committee made a couple years ago

Explanation of the changes that allow players to hire an agent but retain eligibility.

NBA draft agent rule and changes for 2019 explained

The NCAA relaxed their rules surrounding college players' relationships with agents in a series of 2018 policy changes.

The statement does sound more like he is likely to stay in then come back, but he didn't close the door completely.
He's always one i assumed who go pro after this season simply because he has a young family, but this does leave the door open for him to return until after the NBA Draft if he goes undrafted.

Basically, Alvarado is trying to Guide through the process of what’s the best option. Nba seems like a long shot and overseas is a mess right now. I believe he will end up coming back. He’s waiting on his final feedback and word from the nba.

Can kids retaining an agent that return to school take an “advance” in pay and still be eligible?

I believe that they can retain an agent but once they take any money they lose eligibility.

correct

 

[GT_EE78]

I wouldn't think one could take pay or an advance.
from the SI article - "Players can also now return to school after going undrafted without losing eligibility, but only if they participated in the NBA combine."
If i understand that , he'd have to pull out of the draft to retain eligibility if he doesn't get invited to the combine....is that correct?

Advance in pay from where? Regardless the answer is no.

Advance in pay from where? Regardless the answer is no.

Agents will advance players money or provide benefits (Stephen Marbury's Range Rover after he declared) based on projected earnings.
