@whaleboy I missed that whole article. I hope it’s right. i’m deliberately being as pessimistic about this offseason as I possibly can because then I can feel good if something goes right. Dotson would certainly help.
-
I believe currently, if they in the draft but aren’t drafted, the benefit is that you can also enter the draft the following year, but not return to college… amiright?
-
@Gorilla72 Wouldn’t that just make the player a free agent?
-
@HighEliteMajor - I believe so. Can’t return to college though. I dunno what happens if the player then signs with an NBA team. Playing overseas would work, like it did for Billy Preston. Isn’t Preston eligible for this year’s draft?
-
@jayballer73 I was quoting Matt, so it’s clear as mud. I did find this, though:

@HighEliteMajor I went with what I had
.@BShark The other options make less sense (transfer, Europe, Gleague) so if he can eat some humble pie KU still is best option. Can they accept that? We shall see. Reality is his feedback is gonna be bad as we knew it would.
-
@Gorilla72 I think you can only be eligible for selection once. You can declare for the draft twice, assuming you remove your name the first time as Dotson, Grimes, etc. are going through now. Someone else can chime in, but if you stay in the draft, and aren’t drafted, you are a free agent and not subject to a further draft. That’s what I understand.

Looks like we should have a Silvio answer soon:

For those that don’t twitter, Silvio had his hearing today. “decision in matter of hours, not days”.
Kelli Zinn had to recuse herself from the case. Chair of the reinstatement committee. Due to possible perception of conflict. Zenn is an executive associate athletic director at West Virginia

breaks phone refreshing Twitter

When the jury comes back quickly, it’s usually “guilty.” But knowing our luck, they’ll say he has to sit out 15 games next season.
-
Positive thoughts! At least it’s happening 5 days before the deadline of the draft.
Negative thoughts! everything else about this situation

He won his appeal. Silvio is back!!!

I’m shocked. How am I going to get through this offseason… argghhhhhhh
We don’t have a Euro tournament or anything do we.
-
How many said no way on Silvio? Oh ye of Lil faith!
I’m sooooo darn happy for him. He really persevered! Not sure many kids would have done the same. I’d love to be in AFH when he’s announced. 
🥰🥳

@Crimsonorblue22 I was one of those that said no way…this is tremendous!

-
@Crimsonorblue22 I called it earlier this week. Now lets see if part 2 and 3 of my prediction come true.
-
I’m really starting to like next year’s potential team… Starting to like it an awful lot! If we land Hampton and Wilson and Dotson comes back, along with the return of Dok and Silvio good god look out!
-
@HighEliteMajor You can enter and withdraw from the draft twice, but you can still get drafted after withdrawing the second time and lose your college eligibility. It’s weird.
-
@Marco you said d dot wasn’t coming back, huh? Which is it?
-
Silvio being freed just makes me all tingly - -makes me want to just upvote every single response here over , and over , and over lol - - - - -Silvio says: - -Float like a Butterfly – Sting like a Bee - - -Beware Big 12 - - Silvio - - is FINALLY FREE - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 I’ve always hoped that he would, it just doesn’t quite feel that he is.
