My apologies, looks like he should have gone to prep for a year. Glad we asked him to reclassify and then transitioned him out.
I think there's two things going on:
I think Fred is doing 1-1 meetings with players over the next 2 weeks.
Yeah, I really don't see either of them as a pro. I assume they are trying to decide if they want to be done with basketball or go through the work of another season as a roll player like @Minnesota_husker mentioned. If they want to do that and fully understand their expected roll next year, I think they both can be a big benefit to the program.
There are a lot of opportunities as a pro outside the US. It's not the NBA, but guys can still make good $ bouncing around European and Asian leagues. I don't know which way Thor or Webster is leaning, but just because their future isn't in the NBA, doesn't mean they can't have a future in pro basketball.
Good thing we wanted the kid to not go to prep school this year and come here instead.
Really, you know that it was Hoiberg who made the decision and not Woods. Your guess is as good as mine, but there are a lot in players in front of him. Young players do not want to sit, they want to play and I am guessing he did not want to ride the pine for another year. Can't say I'm not disappointed.
Senior leadership, improving 3-point threat, and the scholarship doesn't count against us.... what's not to like?
