Question on Henry's announcement

[jsglow]

I love Huell.  'Huell, will you be happy if Henry returns to Marquette?  Reasonably.'

Why in the heck hasnt he said he will go to the combine? At the very least.

Because he wants a little time to enjoy his spring break, maybe?

Yep. Classes begin again on Tuesday. If there are going to be departures of any kind, I'd imagine we'd start hearing about them soon. Though not necessarily.

agree ... if he is, or is not, in classes Tuesday I think we'll have our answer.

Stop, H.  For all that is holy, please stop.

Thank you.

Stop what?

Well, I don't know about that. I think the most likely scenario is HE declares but doesn't hire an agent. In which case, he would still be in class but is still undecided.

He is projected to be a lottery pick.  He just needs to decide if he is in our out.

But some have him projected as a low lottery pick. HE might not want to leave if that's the case. I think he will declare without an agent

The simple reality is that Henry will announce his decision on his timetable, not the timetable of the fans. We all want to know, but we're going to have to wait. That's just the way it is.

All I'm suggesting is if he knows what he is going to do (and I'll bet he knows by now) why would he go to class for one more week if he knows he is quitting school.

Still think if he is, or is not, in class when school resumes tomorrow that says something about his decision.

If he isn't class than yes. If he is, all it means it's he hasn't decided yet.

If he knew for sure what he was going to do, I imagine that we'd also know what he was going to do. My guess is that he'll declare without an agent, go to individual workouts, get some feedback and then make his final decision based off of that. If he was deadset on going (or staying), why not announce it by now?

Even if he's decided to declare, why is it a certainty he wouldn't finish out the year?  My guess is both he and his parents would probably want him to finish the year (5-6 more weeks til the end) so he's got his first year completed.  I get the fact that he's about to have millions, but it seems silly not to get the entire first year done.

I agree with Lighthouse.  Because I think it unlikely that he'll do the combine but would rather do individual workouts, I really believe he'll finish the semester.  This isn't Vander we're talking about.  I can almost picture the conversation at home.  Now if it were to materially impact his draft prospects that's another story but his body of work speaks for itself.  And he has plenty of time for 'drills' now that formal hoops are over.

Jeeze if Henry skips class on Tuesday it'll be hiroshima here. 

[DienerTime34]

I know I've been spending too much time on this board because everytime I saw HE is Risen this weekend, my first thought was: "Where is Henry going?"

[GooooMarquette]

"My dentist's cousin's niece is in a class with Henry, and she said he missed his Philosophy class on Tuesday."

Woelfel says he's gone...which means he is probably staying.....

You mean all this angst and wonderment about HE's plans and all we had to do was ask Gery???

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Lots of stories out there how Buddy Hield was a 1st round pick last year but came back to raise his draft status this year. Consensus is he accomplished that. (Hope HE having the same thoughts.) I don't follow this closely enough but is there anyone out there who was a consensus first rounder last year, came back, and that ended up hurting their draft status?

Nigel Hayes comes to mind, but I don't know that he was a consensus first rounder. He was more of a fringe first rounder and decided to come back and now is a mid 2nd rounder.

Carl Levert, for sure.
Maybe Melo Trimble.

Henry has already moved out of the dorm and is Florida training.
