Kolek planning to go pro
Advantages to staying in the draft even if you’re not a guaranteed first-rounder:++ Many 2nd-round picks do make their NBA team, and if you do you get a nice start at that big second contract.++ Some athletes would rather not have to deal with the responsibility of college classes and assignments.++ Getting coached by and playing against pros, whether at the NBA or G League level.There are plenty of advantages to staying in school, too. I’m glad Justin has an opportunity to make this decision for himself.
It seems to me there is no advantage to staying in the draft if you are not a guaranteed 1st rounder. I'm biased but with the NIL he should be able to rack up some ad coin in Milwaukee.

No news on Justin and the portal yet, I assume?
I assume so but am wondering why we haven't heard anything?
Yeah butt now, ya don't know hoo's a broad and hoo's a dude. Sometimes ya just gotta stand 'em on der head and take a look, hey?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
What would there be to hear? He has until June to decide if he's coming back or not
This is for Herman.Jeenathan Williams, 96th prospect on the Athletics NBA draft big board!
I think the point is since the deadline has passed and there is no news of him entering the portal, is it safe to assume he didn’t and that his options are the draft or Marquette at this point?
Yes
You appear to be wong.
Its funny that John Ruiz stated he's not going to renegotiate his NIL deal with Wong, and that he can't tell the press on how much that current deal is for. But he can tell us what Pack's deal is for, and that there are all of these: UniversitySportPosition# of MonthsTotal PaymentAlanys Viera Miami Volleyball Setter 12 $6,000.00Andres Borregales Miami Football Kicker 12 $18,000.00Angela Grieve Miami Volleyball Outside Hitter 12 $6,000.00Brashard Smith Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Carson Palmquist Miami Baseball Left-handed Pitcher 4 $6,000.00Chase Smith Miami Football Striker 12 $30,000.00Clay James Miami Football Long Snapper 12 $12,000.00Cleveland Reed Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $42,000.00Cyrus Moss Miami Football Defensive End 12 $36,000.00Delon Scaife Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $43,000.00DJ Ivey Miami Football Cornerback 12 $43,000.00Don Chaney Jr Miami Football Running Back 12 $30,000.00Don Chaney Jr* Miami Football Running Back 12 $10,000.00Elijah Arroyo Miami Football Tight End 12 $40,000.00Frank Ladson, Jr. Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Gilbert Frierson Miami Football Striker 12 $50,000.00Jacey Hinton Miami Swim Freestyle 12 $6,000.00Jacob Lichenstin Miami Football Defensive Line 12 $36,000.00Jacolby George Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Jahfari Harvey Miami Football Defensive Line 12 $36,000.00Jake Garcia Miami Football Quarterback 24 $50,000.00Jake Garcia* Miami Football Quarterback 24 $10,000.00Jake Garland Miami Baseball Right-handed Pitcher 4 $6,000.00Jalen Rivers Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $43,000.00James Williams Miami Football Safety 12 $43,000.00Jaylan Knighton Miami Football Running Back 12 $40,000.00Kahil Brantly Miami Football Tight End 12 $18,000.00Kamren Kinchens Miami Football Safety 12 $43,000.00Keontra Smith Miami Football Striker 12 $18,000.00Keyshawn Smith Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $45,000.00Leonard Taylor Miami Football Defensive Line 12 $40,000.00Leonard Taylor* Miami Football Defensive Line 12 $10,000.00Malik Curtis Miami Football Cornerback 12 $12,000.00Marcus Clarke Miami Football Cornerback 12 $18,000.00Mason Napper Miami Football Long Snapper 12 $2,500.00Matthew Antezana Miami Football Defensive Line 12 $2,500.00Michael McLaughlin Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $12,000.00Morgan Pankow Miami Golf 12 $15,000.00Morgan Pankow* Miami Golf 12 $15,000.00Nijel PackMiamiMBBGuard 24 800,000 plus carOusman Traore Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $12,000.00Rivaldo Fairweather FIU Football Tight End 12 $40,000.00Robbie Ashton Prosek II Miami Football Tight End 12 $5,000.00Romello Brinson Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Ryan Rodriguez Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $18,000.00Te'Cory Couch Miami Football Cornerback 12 $18,000.00Thaddius Franklin Miami Football Running Back 12 $40,000.00Tirek Austin Cave Miami Football Linebacker 12 $12,000.00Tyler Van Dyke Miami Football Quarterback 12 $40,000.00Tyler Van Dyke* Miami Football Quarterback 12 $20,000.00Tyrese Chambers FIU Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Tyrique Stevenson Miami Football Cornerback 12 $45,000.00Waynmon Steed Miami Football Linebacker 12 $18,000.00Wesley Bissainthe Miami Football Linebacker 12 $30,000.00Will Mallory Miami Football Tight End 12 $42,000.00Xavier Restrepo Miami Football Wide Receiver 12 $40,000.00Zion Nelson Miami Football Offensive Line 12 $43,000.00
Justin's latest retweethttps://twitter.com/MarquetteMBB/status/1521214514213142530?t=Kd0yB-wcg1RaTKZYQIROcg&s=19Translation: He's back!
Bam???? How do you know?
It's a joke
I do think there’s a decent chance he’s back. He’s smart to go through the process and get feedback, but there’s a reason he hired an NCAA certified agent. 50/50 IMO.
