Gibbs should return. I imagine that Kemba Walker has played his last season at UConn, but it would be great to see him play another season.

You likely missed the other thread where it was pointed out that he is set to graduate (or will graduate in the summer - I forget which). As a first team All-American, it makes sense for him to come out now. |

www.casualhoya.com/2011/3/30/2080668/early-entry-watchAugustus Gilchrist. I can see Gibbs leaving. His stock may not get any higher and if his team can't make the final 4 with the bracket they had this year they never will so it's not like he has a deep tourney run to come back for. Plus losing 3 other starters pitt will take a slight step back next year whether he comes back or not.

I think if you take anything away from this year's tournament, it is not to be so casually dismissive of a team's chances to make a deep tournament run. Lot of weird stuff can happen... |

I refuse to believe anyone is coming back until the deadline has passed. Twitter says his mom says he's still deciding.

Trey Thompkins from Georgia declared his intention to enter the draft. I don't know if he signed with an agent yet or not though.

I hadn't posted this because it's of more regional than national interest, but I decided to go ahead anyway. Tyler Honeycutt is coming out from UCLA, and Nicola Vucevic from USC. Also, Malcolm Lee (I almost typed Greg Lee - shows how old I am) is testing the waters (but I believe he'll be back at UCLA).

""I think from that point out it did, because it was like coach just kicked me out,” the junior All-American said. “It says 2008 to 2011 (on the banner), so it was like he’s (saying), ‘Let’s get him out of here.”’
Walker announced Tuesday he will enter the June draft. He said he has not hired an agent, but has been talking to them.
Kemba Walker led Connecticut to the NCAA title and is expected to be a first-round pick in the NBA draft.
“There’s no chance that I’m coming back,” Walker said before joking: “Coach, like he said, he doesn’t have a scholarship for me.”"
Interesting set of quotes re Kemba's view. Think he would rather come back for another year? Funny how they did all that for Kemba before he decided to go out.

Oh come on, he's clearly joking around. If Kemba actually wanted to come back, Calhoun would cut anyone on the team. Kemba has nothing left to prove in college, and it's hard to see how his standing improves from late lottery. I think it was a nice gesture by UCONN to acknowledge the obvious and honor him as if he was a senior.

sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6347066Only at Kentucky would players be urged to look at the NBA by their coach (and also make a public statement about it). If he really wanted them back, he would instead be urging them to focus their efforts on passing their classes this semester instead of going through the draft process

What are these "classes" of which you write? The only thing that Calipari has in common with classes (or class for that matter) is that they both begin with C. |

I still feel very strongly about allowing athletes to go directly to the NBA. It would make recruiting simplier
