More than likely works for me!!! Thank you Tony and we hope you and the team have a fantastic tourney! Can't wait to see it in person!! GMG!

The other thread had the quote from him leaning heavily toward returning to UNT.

If Tony stays another year and CJ,JW are able to make it back to the team, add in Odoh and Overlander, this team is a top 25 team. The way Alzee has played this season....I'm getting excited already. But first things first, Sun Belt Tourny Time!!!

as long as he can get eligable...justin patton should be around too right? or did this year count?

Totally forgot about Patton. We will be stacked next season!

I'm wondering the same thing myself.

I'm wondering the same thing myself.

Why would he bother sitting on the bench knowing he would never set foot on the floor in the following year?

[untwillrise]

If we a get an ncaa tournament win he is gone. But I will take that any year.

[chrisfisher]

Based purely on my speculative opinion of his non-verbal behavior, he will not be back. Of course, I truly hope I am 100% wrong.

I like our chances

[Andrew]

I think if he is not a top 5 pick he should stay... and great if we pick up a tourney win, but who is to say that it Mitchel will perform well? Maybe he gets double and Alzee and Hall take control with 20 points each...

Chrisfisher, what nonverbal behavior are you referring to?

[Green Mean]

I'm assuming he's going to leave because he has an opportunity to get scouts' interest and has a chance to go to the NBA. You get very few chances and sure he may not be a high pick or first round at that but if the buzz is around that he'll go in the 2nd round then that is still pretty decent money and I wouldn't fault him one bit for taking on that opportunity.

2nd round in the NBA draft gives you a better than 50% chance of ending up in the NBA developmenat league.

The smart decision would be one more year at UNT.

[NT03]

I would bet 90% of players drafted in the 2nd round never make it or are out of league in 3 years or less

I don't doubt that but you never know...sometimes that draft and NBA can be very enticing. The smart thing is to wait a year but there is never any telling what's going through the head of a 19 or 20 year old.

[NT03]

Also 2nd round draft picks do not have guaranteed contracts. If it were me or my son , only way I/he goes as a underclassman is as a guaranteed lottery pick

My kids get a goofy smirk on their faces when they tell a fib. My guess is that Chrisfisher is referring to the smirk Tony had when he said he'd probably be back. I hope he's reading too much into it.

I said I hope I am 100% wrong. Why does everyone have -1 me?

That's part of it... I hope I am not reading too much either.

bc you said something negative, if its not positive people -1 you for no reason... there +3 for honesty

Um, he'll be back. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard Tony say he'll be back. They also saw Alzee pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
