Will Riley declares for the 2025 NBA draft:

Obvious statement but I’ll say it anyway… It feels much better losing guys this way than to the portal.

Injured arm, played with some pain. But his struggles with shooting and turnovers were more mental than physical.

And...zero off the court issues. Jakucionis is a choir boy.
I remember Brad saying KJ is hard on himself and I wondered if he struggled to get past mistakes in a game because of it. Short term memory is a beneficial for a player when it comes to mistakes

Adam had 10 pts and 2 rbg in 26 minutes.

Ayo had a bad game 9 points and 6 turnovers. Loyola defensed our pick and roll perfectly. We were unable to shut them down with our defense.

I'm glad to see Will's announcement. It's much better to see this kind of announcement than the transfer portal announcement. Seems to indicate he's a 1st rounder or back. Win-Win for us as this is help for recruiting (Getting a one and done DONE) or next year's roster (which sounds far less likely now)

Wish Will the best of luck. Not a done deal that he stays in, I will say that. If he wants, the option to return will be left open. Combine could be important for him.
Will is going to stay in the draft.

Sarr's feedback from certain quarters is that he's not a first rounder in 2025. If he shows more next season either in Europe pro or US college, could be a lottery pick.

I mean, hypothetically an injury could happen, but other than a catastrophe like that, he's going. Good luck, young man.
