You would think it would help recruiting. That’s why they tweet out great games of former players after NBA games. That’s why they also have former MU players in the NBA speak with the team when they are in town. That’s why the MU/NBA faces are plastered all over the walls of the Al. It has to help somewhat. Just as Jordan brand helps somewhat. Shaka will be the main reason for recruits to come however and his NBA track record with players will definitely help. It all helps and can’t hurt unless your program has zero NBA players.
Quite often, yes, but sometimes no. Ochai Agbaji is a great example of someone who went from fringe draft pick to coming back and becoming a likely lottery pick. Justin could do the same, or he could be the next Johnny Juzang. But with NIL, if you can get paid while you try to increase your stock, it at least makes staying a more viable option for guys who are perceived to be in the 45-undrafted range rather than surefire first round picks.
Bacot is returning to UNC. I am sure he could make a ton of money going pro, but he is is staying. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/acc/2022/04/13/armando-bacot-unc-north-carolina-returning-senior-season/7307638001/Here we are convinced Justin is leaving because he can do better than if he stays. If he does leave that says a lot about Marquette basketball.

Wow! If there ever was a guy who's stock was about as high as it could get it would be Bacot. I mean the only way he could break his NCAA double double record would be for UNC to play in the Dayton games next year . It does kind of make me wonder why a player who shows any next level ability at MU is always encouraged to take the money and run like dong otherwise would be "stupid" but there are many instances of college players who DON'T do that. When D Wade took us to the FF I was all in on him declaring for the NBA. Can't miss talent. Justin is no Wade. I could definitely see him staying unless he really doesn't like school.
Was Bacot projected to go high in the draft? Most of the reviews I have seen have him second round at best.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Bacot does not have an NBA game. He’s smart to get his degree for free.
Correct it says we are back to producing NBA players again.
I didn't see any potential NBA player playing for MU when UNC was blowing us off the court.
Did you see any potential NBA players playing for MU when Murray State was blowing us off the court?
I didn't see any potential NBA player playing for MU when UNC was blowing us off the court. You have your opinion and I have mine. Obviously Bacot feels staying at UNC is better for his career than going pro now be it in Europe, NBA or G-league; whereas here Justin is the better pro prospect and leaves for the G-league he'll get better coaching and development to make the NBA than if he stayed at MU. So what does that say about MU basketball: If you're not a first/second round draft pick after 2 years at MU you're better off in the G-league than at MU if you want to play in the NBA? Not a good look for MU basketball in my opinion and it saddens me to say it as I want the program to succeed.
I saw 3, maybe 4 future NBA players on MU during that game.
