He only scored 25 points last season for the Vols which was the lowest of all their starters. I think a change of scenery will help this guy out. He needs to work on his free throw shooting as he shot an abysmal 26% from the line. Granted he was only 5-19 but he needs to knock em down. He will have a whole year to work on that. Solid get by the staff. For the last scholarship, I would not be surprised if we just hold onto it for a 2020 recruit or transfer. Unless Joel Notambwe wants in, you take him no matter what. It depends on what Roby does but in my opinion, he is all but gone. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Roby is not coming back, but it might be smarter to hang on to a scholarship. Next year, we will have 2 leaving and 2 coming in. 1 Quote Link to comment

Definitely needs to work on that FT shooting, that's really bad haha. I think it's safe to assume Roby's gone so we have one scholly left. I imagine they will be pretty selective in who they give it to if they don't hang on to it. Quote Link to comment

I dont know the rules on over signing for basketball but I dont believe someone could sign right now until Roby officially declares. Quote Link to comment

I think we will have plenty of time to still fill that spot, I just dont think it will be with the Wake Forest kid.... I dont think we had much of a chance anyways. Wait over the summer and see if someone decides last minute to grad transfer. I would like to keep a few open spots for 2020 kids. Quote Link to comment

Some of these rules changed last year. I do not totally understand them, but I believe a player can go through the draft and if not drafted can come back to college. Quote Link to comment

This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season.

FrankWheeler Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 This also makes it pretty clear that the deadline is May 29th until the NBA and NBPA changes their rules. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/enforcement/2019ENF_NBAMemo.pdf Pg. 13 #3 - A student-athlete who wishes to remove his name from the NBA Draft AND maintain NCAA eligibility must submit a written statement to the NBA by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, May 29, 2019.
