Wilson/Wagner NBA decisions
They sure are taking their sweet time about this. I get it, it is an important decision and they should take their time, but wouldn't both know by this point what they are going to do? Are there any workouts left? I don't recall really many of these decisions being made at the last possible second, so I am getting a little concerned that "no news is very bad news" here. I would have at least expected Wagner to withdraw his name at this point, given the feedback he has allegedly received.
Starting to get a little up against it now, and I am surprised we have not heard anything. Is there any recent news that I don't feel like browsing for, good or bad?
Yes, there is news. HUGE news. We're just not telling you.
It's in the secret section of the board along with all the silent commits.
Send me your credit card info and you're in
your avatar cousin Larry? Do you watch the Leftovers? Brilliant use of cousin Larry.
It is, and no I have not. But anything that gives money to alums of my favorite late-80s/early-90s shows gets my approval.
If I was either of them I would leave as much time as possible to talk with various teams and learn everything I could. Even if I had already determined I was coming back.
The nice thing about this evaluation process is that folks like Wagner and Wilson get valuable input and contacts for free. Why not maximize that?
Like waiting to hear back from a company after an interview. Is no news good or bad????
it is bad news.
you just show up.
I hear that Penske file is a load
They can take it to 11:59 on Wednesday if they need be.
I think both will be back. Wagner for sure, I think Wilson has a chance to be one of the last few picks in the first round but I don't think he will be confident enough in that to stay in the draft. He won't get a guarantee from any team, so I assume he will play it safe and try to play another year here to improve his stock. I do think that Wilson wants to go to the NBA more than Wagner does.
is the kind of tid bit I was looking for. Is this a fact? He has a first round guarantee from the Jazz?
Guarentee from anyone. Don't buy into people's random comments.
If Utah changes their mind, what does that guarantee get you?
Plus, if you're Utah's GM, are you really going to publicly tell your competitors who you want and where you plan to take him? That would be ...(searching for mild language)... ill-advised.
Utah's guarantee plus a buck-fifty will get DJ a diet coke for his plane ride to Europe.
Orlando may be in play for him too, at 25. Not as likely as Utah but I've heard rumblings. I think he's gone.
Some evidence for this new and bold claim would be cool
These are young kids making what is the most important decision of their young lives right now. They'll take as much time as they need. I don't blame them waiting to see what they can find out.
moody blog this morning.
I would say it is one of the charms of the blog :)
Your post is telling a couple of kids to essentially hurry up about their biggest life decision.
Not rocket science why you are being downvoted.
need to go hit a heavy bag a couple of times or something.
That is not what I was telling them to do and you're ridiculous response is way over the top.
"They sure are taking their sweet time about this. I get it, it is an important decision and they should take their time, but wouldn't both know by this point what they are going to do?"
You are impatient and want an answer. Not that tough to figure this out.
They sure are taking their sweet time about this. I get it, it is an important decision and they should take their time, but wouldn't both know by this point what they are going to do?just don't get you. You are cool at times and a complete horse's ass other times, and there is never any rhyme or reason to it. I literally say in the sentence you have quoted "they should take their time," word for word.
You are all making it into "how dare you try to infringe on the rights of these fine young scholar athletes. How dare you I say!"
Seriously, lighten up. Take a Xanax, run a lap. Whatever works for you when you are having one of your "happy days," you should do that now.
didn't post a thread "bitching" about anything. What the.....?
Alright, moving on.
Myself included.
Just take your medicine on a horrible thread and move on.
signing day was one of the worst of all time.
a post to discuss something, anything, aside from the Ford CEO. I haven't really been on here a lot in the last week and I wanted to hear some thoughts, see some takes.
Very sorry if that offended you to such a degree.
have two approaches on the blog. I respond to the posts that I care about and want to discuss, and I don't comment on the ones that I don't. I don't understand people who only comment to be dicks. I guess that is just their thing.
I heard on Counterstrike that Mo is staying and that DJ is leaning towards remaining in the draft as he believes he is a late 1st round pick...
Hope they both find success. Hopefully, it's back in the Maize n Blue. Will be glad to finally know once and for all so JB can start preparing next season's lineup.
GO BLUE!!
In the mock draft, DJ was a late first round in some and early second in the others. It's definitely a risk.
Could be interpreted in a million different ways.
And I just find it hard to believe that DJ is only sharing this life-changing decision in secret to Kam Chatman.
Chatman say? Can't find it on UM Hoops.
So you didn't hear that DJ is going to the NBA and Moritz is moving back to Germany? lol where have you been dood?
I feeel the same way about this as recruiting. This is one of the biggest decisions of their lives. I would take as much time as I possibly had weighing out everything to make sure I made the right one. Wilson really wants the NBA, but I believe he realizes he needs another year and both come back.
Both are projected with a chance to get first-round money/guarantee. Risk if you come back, but if you perform, I would expect both could be mid-first rounders. Hope they stay
