Andrej's decision goes public in the next couple days.

Everyone I have talked to has said a return to Illinois is what it will be.
Not a surprise, but still nice to hear. People will you tell you I’m not exactly an optimist. This team can ABSOLUTELY win a national championship. Brad talks about it a lot. This year that is not some wild fantasy.

While I have no doubt this is the likely outcome, I'm surprised Andrej has dragged this process this long and has not announced by now..

The camp trying to find a way to justify to themselves going pro has been palpable this whole time.

Hold onto your butts.
At this point, for me, obviously I want him back, but if Lebron can talk the Lakers into taking a wildly underdeveloped Bronny with a first round pick, it wouldn't shock me if Peja tries to play that same card with Sacramento. It's good for marketing. That would be a terrible decision for Andrej, but when money is no object and there's generational wealth in the family, you can make these types of decisions and have it not negatively effect you 30 years from now.

I agree with LvillILL1 that he's gotten enough feedback to where it's a no brainer to go back to school. It might be hard to convince his old man of that.

I do agree with you with the fact that it's taking this long. I'm sure Peja is making all the calls and using all of the contacts that he has at his disposal. Would we all do that for our kids if we were in that same situation? Who knows.....

His decision, his life, we'll be fine either way.

This is normal, guys that are even 1000% locked in to coming back always take almost all of the time at their disposal in the process.

Hell, Ben two years ago withdrew on the day of the deadline when he wasn't even a combine guy.
