Has rick done it again? Has he talked Harrell out of going into the draft? I was on the CJ website and there is a video of Harrell, apparently after yesterdays game, where he says he has met with Rick and his family, and he has decided to stay in school. He says he wants to work on his game and get better. No wonder Rick can't get great players out of hs. He takes a lottery pick, talks them into staying in school for two years longer than they should, and drops them from a lottery pick, to late 1st round, all while using up two years of earning power.

I'm not sure that playing on a bad team next year is going to make his stock rise anymore.

He will forced to try and do things he can't do and will be exposed as a limited player.

He should have came out last year.

If Harrell comes back AGAIN to get better... I mean... he's wasting time and money. That would've been two years of earnings he's lost when he would've been a borderline lottery pick after last season. He's not gonna turn into some 45% three point shooter. He's not gonna start crossing people up on the perimeter. He's not gonna start leading the break and throwing no look behind the back passe for layups. He is what he is. He's got Alex Poythress syndrome.

I don't get it unless he just really really really loves being in school.
I couldn't believe it either. But Jason, go over there and see for yourself. You can't make this stuff up.

That's right!

His biggest asset is his motor and that's already been established.

Not sure if it's the same video, but he didn't say anything about NBA or staying.

But dude in the background munching down on some nachos or something.

That story is dated April of 2014, to say that he is returning for his junior season. This IS his junior season.

He's already had his "senior" day and got a framed jersey. I think to have another one is an NCAA violation.

Beat me to it. And it makes no sense to announce BEFORE the season is over.

Cmon now Jason, I said I couldn't make this stuff up, and gave you a
I was just so giddy over the Crow's loss that I couldn't help myself. Not even Rick could talk him in to coming back to the dumpster fire that will be 2015-16.
