SouthLincoln Husker Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 He has talked to Hoiberg, so I'm guessing he told roby to check it out without an agent. Quote Link to comment
ECisGod Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I would think that every junior in a power conference would do the same thing. 2 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I don't personally care if he stays or not. But declaring would be a huge mistake by Roby. He's got the potential, but he's nowhere even remotely close to being able to cut it in the league. He legitimately could grow into a very quality player for some team someday, but he currently plays way too soft, unsure and timid. He still hasn't learned how to believe in himself on a consistent basis and he makes stupid mistakes often enough to make that really clear. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure who eye rolled you, but I agree 100% with your take. He needs another year Quote Link to comment

Seen him as a mid to late 2nd round pick Yep...there is not really the old senior jump anymore. If anything, to the NBA it just makes him a year older. The NBA, more than any other league, drafts on potential and pre-draft workouts. 2 Quote Link to comment

NBA teams look at them with an opinion of “why didn’t they declare earlier”. Also, where do people think they will develop more. Option A is spending part of your time working on basketball and only having a certain number of hours per week with your coaches, the other part of your time going to class. The number of games in option A is about 35 games against college kids. Option B is spending as much time as your can working with professional coaches and trainers, without worrying about going to go to school, and while the player may not be playing in 80-90 games, they are experiencing the highest level of basketball around. Long-story short, if Roby is going to have a career in the NBA, it probably won’t be “better” because he came back for his senior year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Look at the mock drafts for the next two years...there are like 5 seniors on it and I think 4 of them were in the second round. The NBA draft is basically Tinder...those GMs are not swiping right on oldies. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Selfishly, I really hope Roby stays. He would be a great leader on the team to start the Hoiberg era. That said, he has done everything huskers should hope for. He came here to play. He’s worked and played hard and has represented the program well. It’s not his fault he came here at a time when we didn’t have a championship level staff. He needs to do what is best for him now. I could see him excited to play for Fred and sticking around....or, I could see him thinking it’s time to move on. I’ll support him either way. 1 Quote Link to comment

MNBigRedNorth Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It might do him good to stay that last year and work under Hoilberg on his game. I know a lot of Juniors do what he is doing, but most should stay in school. 1 Quote Link to comment
Big red surfers Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Roby currently is a late 2nd round pick. Another year in school learning from a coach with nba experience would do wonders for Roby. Most likely bump him onto the first round. Quote Link to comment

If he is a projected 1st round pick he has got to go to the NBA Quote Link to comment
