[fjm]

Haha both great responses

[rocket surgeon]

you could very well have a point there, but remember, shaka was a done deal too-ein'a so?  that's where the guarded skepticism comes from-just sayin

Well we have given HE 11 pages of excuses (some good | some not so good), but my guess is the sources that make-up Chad Ford's mock draft is the only advice he needs to make his decision.

Well, considering that the actual results won't be known for months, the majority of Ford's "sources" aren't really helping right now.

My bad, I assume he speaks with GMs

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

believe what you want. you'll hear quite soon enough. Not starting rumors here...just sharing what I've been told.

But wasn't he already spotted wearing a backpack?

Sorry... I thought this was more widely known.

For Scoop purposes:

Backpack = No boot?

In my day backpack meant sneaking beer or alcohol into the dorms. Maybe he'll be celebrating going pro?

Nothing has changed.  Cans. Much quieter.

When I was a freshman, every Thursday I would go to my 9:30 AM English class, stop by Dany's on 17th Street afterwards for a case of something since he never carded, and walked right into McCormick.  They never checked backpacks on a Thursday morning.

I didn't get as far as I have in this world without a little forethought.

Henry has been Top 10 in NBA Draft Express's mock since at least Sept 2014.  I doubt seeing his name at 6 is going to change alter his decision.  He and his family have been anticipating this decision for years.

As for Ford's reliability, I follow the draft closely and he is usually on.  I actually believe him when he says ESPN changed the mocks afterwards. 

1) ESPN never disputed it / fired him
2) writers submit copy, then it goes thru various channels before being posted.  He might be able to self publish blogs but I highly doubt he can self publish a mock draft given the coding / graphics etc

Dany's was the spot and a great man running the ship. Hope all is well with him. The 48 pack's of classic ice with two energy drinks he sold were a staple in my
group.

I thought Dany should have been my graduation speaker.
So many students would not have survived pre-21 without him!

You guys musta been a bunch of drunks. Classic Ice is some nasty sh!t

I was a Miller Lite guy.  Unless I went for the 40 oz of Olde English 800.

The beer company I worked for in College made/distributed Classic Ice 48 packs. Sometimes when we packaged those, we would slip a bag of pretzels/beer nuts in too (to mask the flavor probably).

You are Welcome.
