Worst week of defections in OSU basketball history?

Hopefully Carroll will announce that he's transferring to UI soon and add onto the defections. :thumb:

Yea pretty spot on there. Its actually a pretty good decision by a player to declare without signing an agent because then they can get feedback from NBA level scouts about their game and what they need to work on.

Georgetown's LJ Peak is forgoing his senior season, intends to sign with agent, sources told ESPN. Gets worse and worse for Hoyas. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0635979314269003278-4 …

As someone who used to follow the Hoyas, I can't believe they have anyone on this team who could play in the NBA.
Classic case of a kid not striking while the iron was hot. I definitely commend him for making the decision he wanted and felt was right but his draft stock has definitely fallen off. Seems like a great kid though and will definitely still go in the 1st round.
Interesting that in his tweet, Jawun thanked the fans of OSU. Makes it seem like he's gone for certain and signing with an agent. Most of the time when just "testing the water", players won't really publicize.
Bit of a strange decision with his late first/early second projection. Guess there was too much volatility for him in the coaching decision
Xavier Rathan-Mayes has declared for the NBA draft as well. Kid turned in to a really solid player for FSU. Hope he succeeds in the NBA.

There are a handful of players in the BIG I think will test the waters. He is not one of those.
Maybe not this year. He has NBA level athleticism/ability. Might need a little more work but its hard to say just how good he is because hes on such a bad team.

UCLA freshman TJ Leaf told ESPN he will declare for NBA draft with the intention of signing with an agent.

UT guard Andrew Jones joins the NBA party. I live in Austin and I said "who?" too.

Edmond Sumner, sophomore point guard from Xavier, is also leaving early for the draft and will be hiring an agent. I was pretty surprised by this as he is still recovering from his torn ACL. Wonder if the injury will cause him to slide.
