Oso planning to go pro
As you all remember, I broke the Vander news in 2013, much to Scoop's raucous calls of Bullsnit. Well, I'm back again and i have news. Bad news for us scoopers:Markus is gone to the draft. Whether it's a good idea or bad idea, we've seen the last of Markus in Blue and Gold.Do with this what you will. M2N
No we haven't. Like I and others have mentioned, Markus will declare, go to the camps. He will be told "ha, no chance" and he will come right back.
Wouldn't be surprised if Sam declares as well
Markus declaring will be very beneficial for both parties . If he gets good feedback after the combine then he is off to a potential lucrative pro career. That is a good thing for MU and Wojo can sell that to future recruits.If it doesn’t work out in the combine ,Markus comes back with a list of areas to improve.Win win proposition for everyone.Go for it Markus . You have zero down side declaring .
Hermie, by lucrative career, do you mean NBA? The guarantee money is for first round. Do you believe Markus can make the roster of an NBA team or are you referring to an overseas contract. I hope, along with you and others, that he goes to camp and gets advice.
He should to get the feedback, though we all know what it would be.
I think the first round probability is low, all the mocks show him second. If he doesn’t actually get drafted I think he will get signed to a two way contract the way Angel Del Gado did. The summer league will get him in front of a lot of foreign scouts and if he can’t find his way into the league he will eventually end up in a top tier foreign league.
