I 100% agree w/ @Whips-n-Chains about Keaton Wagler and teams figuring him out.

I know a lot of y'all feel that dudes should jump to the league because they are rated highly, but Wagler needs to keep his ass in school. The schools with deep pockets will be lining up.

I swear, it looks like he could be another lottery pick that severely disappoints like that player from the Badgers the Wizards drafted a couple yrs ago, Johnny Davis. Front offices gonna be like "What 2nd contract?:mjpls:"

I will say with this draft being so stacked at the top and next year projected to be weak, I have wondered if any freshmen will stay back for the sophomore year if they think it won't hurt their draft stock.

But then again, rookie contracts in the NBA a lot bigger than they were 10 years ago

Do Vanderbilt & Nebraska have a rivalry I'm not aware of? :skip:
Neb is a FIESTY ass team. Hoiberg and Frager are both dogs...

And Nebraska as a program has NEVER been in this position, and they have a big, THIRSTY fanbase, esp with football down

Neb fans are known for traveling well, but this is INSANE...I've never seen a fanbase just take over a neutral site like this

He's gotten far less efficient ever since that MSU game. I don't blame him for jumping if he's indeed going to be a top 12 pick, but idk if I'd want my team drafting him. What's funny tho, is he'll still have a quiet ass 19/7/6 game tonight :russ:
Yeah, they're up 17 right now and Underwood really isn't the type to pull his starters.

And the nation took note of that MSU game. That right there was the blueprint.

He'll probably still be lottery because teams are praying for their version of an SGA. A long point guard that doesn't rely on athleticism. The problem is, SGA is not your normal player

A guy like Chris Cenac would be dumb as hell to leave

Will be a top ten pic next year guaranteed

Esp with Nil I'd just test the waters and see where I'd be graded and then see if I could find a nil amount in that spot

Being the big man on campus with millions in nil money and cavorting with college chicks
:ehh:

Yeah, next year will pale in comparison to this upcoming draft. An early 2nd rounder in 2026 could be a late lottery pick in 2027.

Yep.

Sampson will feature him a lot more next season. Plus with the 2027 draft not being as deep, he could find himself being a top 3 pick
