(Both Isaac Humphries and Tai Wynyard are too young to be eligible for this year's draft)
Met with our team today. Told them that during the season it’s about the team and sacrificing for each other — which they did this year. When the season’s over, it’s about each individual player and what’s right for them and their families. With that being said, every player who is eligible for the draft, including our walk-ons, will submit their names for the NBA Draft in hopes of being invited to the combine in May. The new rule states they can submit their name a total of three times. If they choose to withdraw, they have until 10 days after the combine. It's a true win-win for the student-athlete.
Most Calipari thing ever? CalDroppingMic
