Is academics important to him?


Agreed with the yes answer but it's about number 3 or 4 on his list at this point.

He's about 20 credits away from graduating after this semester, which would cost less than what Rosie makes in a decent day in the market.

how is that possible?

he can't have done 100 credits in only 2 years....you must have mistaken us for IU

18 hours per semester times four semesters equal 72 credits +9 hours at summer school times two summers is another 18 credits = 90 credits. Then dual credit courses from Homestead.

Not sure exactly how he did it, but that's a plausible scenario.

While he hasn't been lighting up the draft boards, his stock has improved this year and we all know he desperately wants the NBA money to help his family which is truly in need. I think we all agree he'd develop more with another year in college and would surely enjoy his time and possibly take PU to heretofore unknown heights, but does he stay?

I say less than 20% chance he suits up for the Boilers next year. What say you?

He gone!

I'd put the odds of Biggie entering the draft at about the same as the odds Tommy Luce decides to stay for at least another year. The kid loves college and probably realizes he could get a little stronger.

The odds of Biggie entering the draft are the same as me not entering.

That made me laugh. Well done.

Now that he's starting to get projected in the first round in multiple places I'd say there is almost no chance he returns. He was ready to go last season if he'd have got a sniff in the 2nd round.

The public talk from his agent guardian is not something that should be taken that seriously - that's called posturing. If he wanted to be in the draft last year, he could have been.

People tend to over-exaggerate (some people on here thought he was leaving last year - and many thought Haas/Edwards were NBA bound going into this season). I agree that if he comes out of the NBA Combine and such as a projected first round pick, he's probably gone. But that's not really a guarantee (remember - the draft process last year really took him down a notch). He's certainly improved. I also don't think that Barnes is naive enough to ignore that he can be a lottery pick next year. Whether it plays a part in the ultimate decision, who knows.

But I agree, if he's a first round projection, I think he's likely gone.

As long as he's a second round projection, he's gone.
