Dotson was previously scheduled to do a workout for the Kings today and is no longer reported as going to be there.
So he either is coming back or got a guarantee.
REALLY NOT LIKING THE SECOND POSSIBILITY
-
Everything I read was that he was supposed to fly home yesterday and didnāt have anything planned for today as far as workouts.
-
I read the Athletic article with quotes from NBA personnel and the consensus seems to be that Dotsonās a late second rounder at best.
Shooting and distribution need to improve dramatically for him to stick in the league.
That said, itās hard to see D leaving unless he desperately wants out of college ball. Guess I donāt understand why the decision is going down to the wire when itās apparently a no brainer.
-
Reallyā¦ if he come back to college he will eventually be a first rounder. What Iām guessing is happening is that teams are dangling some guaranteed numbers at the dotsonsā¦ teams need role players and low paid bodies and are willing to take a gamble on guaranteed contracts, but usually these are guys in the top 50. Dotson is not currently in the top 50, and would obviously benefit from more Hudy and more D1 level competition, As well as lots of TV exposure with Kansas

What if I told you itās more slim than the possibility of me becoming a dook fan?
-
From Bossi, āFWIW, I was told last night that the possibility of Grimes returning to Lawrence had increased quite a bit in the last 24-48 hours. Not saying he will (though we will know soon enough) but this time yesterday I would have put his chances of return at slim and none with slim out the door.ā
-
@FarmerJayhawk At this point Iād be okay with running it back. Would rather have Walker than Grimes but ya know a bird in the hand these days.
-
I would love to have Grimes back assuming he gets the right people in his hear and gets his head on straight. Thereās no doubt heās incredibly talented, weāve all seen it. Just needs to be motivated in the right way.
And the crazy thing about it is Grimes is only 5 months older than Walker.
-
Grimes coming back makes all the sense in the world for both parties at this moment.

100% agree. At this point itās almost like seeing your ex later on and youāre both single and bored so might as well get back together for awhile just for gits and shiggles
-
My gut is we get one or the other, but not both. Not based on any info since everyone is currently in the dark, but would make sense.
-
I dunno the longer this goes today - the more nervous I get , makes me think this is a lot harder of a decision for him to make - -& thatās not good.- - He wouldnāt be the type of kid as to where he doesnāt make an announcement and just automatically stay in the draft would he without telling us anything? - -I sure wouldnāt think that is the case - -but man after the way this year has gone - anything is possible I think.
Another thing , seen the post about how in the last 24-48 hours there has more talk in the Grimes camp about him seriously coming back to KU - - he hasnāt made any announcement either. - -
Question - -now just hear me out on this , you donāt suppose do you - you donāt possibly think that maybe - - JUST MAYBE he is holding out - -waiting to see or not IF Devon stays in the draft or not do you? - -MAYBE - - MAYBE he just waiting to see - If Devon sticks in the draft - -Quentin wants to come back and run PG - - MAYBE ?

Hope Dotson made an epic video like Anthony Cowan hot damn: https://twitter.com/__AntC/status/1133839464428474368

Cool! Nobody more disappointed than d dot!

quick fingers lol - -just beat me too it - -Family taking a break will talk more in a bit. - -I donāt like that , - -I think when itās all said and done now - - Devon is Gone
-
Who is holding him back? Mom, dad, d dot?
-
Weāll lose Devon, and then Q will announce heās coming back to play point guardā¦ughā¦
-
Iāve got an announcement to makeā¦I just saved money by switching to Geico.
-
Reading all scouts recommended going back to school. Didnāt think he would go til late 2nd round.
-
It appears to be a hard decision. No guarantee? Early 2nd? So much to weigh!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Hope he listens to those scouts
-
Are we looking for white smoke?
-
@Fightsongwriter No, weāre looking for crimson and blue smoke
-
Wellā¦ Weāll know in the next 5 hours.

As much as I hate it buddy - that is what Iām starting to feel. - -I posted earlier that I wondered if the reason Grimes hadnāt announced yet was he was waiting to see what Dotson was going to do. - If Dotson comes back - -Grimes is Gone whether transfer or stay in the Draft - -If Dotson stays in the draft -Iām just wondering Maybe -Just Maybe Grimes comes back cause he is wanting to run the point

Lmao - - now you stop that lol
-
Must be really on the fence about what to do?
-
2 of the last 8 left undecided. Par for KU 2019.
-
Why??? ā¦ The last minute??
Really?
Jerk move
-
@Bosthawk I disagree. The deadline is not until midnight.

Worst case scenario rather have neither then just q
-
@BeddieKU23 Iām kind of hedging that a bit. Weāve seen many guys come back and improve their game in the past. This article makes me ponder :
-
So, you surmise that he is still weighing offers? Heās had weeksā¦ he needs a few more hours?? ā¦ Unless heās fielding calls from nba people right now
-
Maybe Devon will wait until 11:59:59 to declare and leave Q no time to say heās coming back.

Youāre a harsh man ā¦
-
@Bosthawk The phrase ājerk moveā would not be what I would personally use to describe the biggest decision of their lives. I feel they have more skin in the game than we do, and if they want to take as much time as they need to make their decision, then Iām certainly ok with that.
-
wellā¦Iām glad Tucker didnāt provide false hopes! come on Dotson!
-
@KUSTEVE Good pointā¦ itās just that, if itās such a big decision, he would have DECIDED IT by now. Unless he is still fielding calls from people, including overseas reps, this decision has been done. His draft stock is not going up in the next hour.
-
@Bosthawk Itās not just the kids that are running the show. Maybe him and Dad donāt see eye to eye on the decision. Iāll bet you he wants to come back, and Dad wants him to stay in the draft.
-
Rayjon Tucker is staying in the draftā¦LMAOā¦nice get, Memphis!!!

Jeff Goodman ā Verified account
@GoodmanHoops Following Following @GoodmanHoops More Three guys who can really change the college hoops landscape next season:
Devon Dotson/Quentin Grimes Jordan Nwora
Grimes was considered gone, but considered a second-rounder (at best) and could wind up coming back to KU.
Dotson and Nwora are toss-ups.

It was a bit harsh and I was a huge supporter of his coming in. Maybe Iāve written him off too soon. However something just feels off about this situation. Hopefully everything works out
-
Grimes is withdrawing from the draft??? No word on transfer tho
-
I wonāt feel burnt if Q comes back and gives it his all. I will feel burnt if heās a distraction. We cannot have another Vick this year. We need focus and clarity of purpose.
-
If Grimes comes back to KUā¦which I think he will because of sitting out a yearā¦that would be great for the mighty Jayhawks!!! Or he could pull an RJā¦then, I wonāt care for him anymore
