If I am not mistaken, I think Bruce encourages them to go through the process and get their grades.  If they get high enough marks they leave and if not they will come back.  I get that we don't like it, but in the long term this is all we can ask for.  I would rather recruits see this happening and knowing their coach encourages this than have a Lebo/Barbee looking like an idiot that doesn't know how to get guys to the league.

I read that as well.  I have to say I think the NCAA rule on this is one of the few they have that make sense.  Allowing the player the opportunity to test the waters and see what the NBA thinks of them is only fair.  Plus, the player doesn't have to make an all or nothing choice.  I would love for them to adopt that in football too.  What doesn't make sense is why that's available in basketball only.  I assume that's the only sport.  Equestrian may be the lone exception.

Heron is withdrawing his name from the NBA draft, but transferring out of AU.  Skreetz, bitches.

And an article today from beat writer, James Crepea.

So, if Purifoy comes back, he will have a 9-10 game suspension to finish out his punishment.  That means we will be minus a Heron, but add a Purifoy and Wiley.  I can live with it.

Purifoy has already stated that he's coming back.  Damn, I'm actually looking forward to basketball season!

Heron is headed to St. John's.

Maybe he can high five Akeem after he gets a sly handy from Patrice.

Sorry if I missed it somewhere above, but we also got a transfer from Memphis a few days ago.  6'3" Guard, Jamal Johnson.  7 points and 3.3 rebounds a game.  Also hit 47 3 pointers last year.  The short piece I read didn't say anything about having to sit a year so maybe he strengthens our bench right away.

***Check that.  He'll redshirt this season and have 3 years left.

How could anyone who follows college athletics believe that a kid could transfer from a D1 school and not sit a year, you ask?

I don't know how Heron can continue to play college basketball I have it on good authority he hired an agent.

 Good answer. Granted, I haven’t followed college sports NEARLY as long as you have. I haven’t been on this earth nearly as long as you have. But, I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever read of a graduate transfer ever transferring and the article not referring to them as a “graduate transfer “. And not just a transfer.
And I can’t remember this ever occurring.
