Bailey declares for draft

[Boone]

with 20 free throw attempts in over 760 minutes, he practiced social distancing on the court all season

[GB Warrior]

Bailey has some foundational pieces in his favor, including bloodlines and defense. He's a stretch given his age, but can't hurt to get the scouts opinion.

[Elonsmusk]

I'm not even sure what to say.  But, Brendan is pretty old, and no harm in declaring.  Perhaps hoping his bloodline will be enough for some team to take a flier.  I sure can't see it though. Don't think he can even achieve All Big East this year or next for that matter.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

We should all declare.   Mathematically, one Scooper would certainly get selected.

I filled out the paperwork my senior year. Never heard anything so not sure if i actually mailed it or not.

Clyde says you were REJECTED......

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Makes sense, always wondered why more players didn't take advantage of this. Declare, get professional feedback, return to school better for it.

[BallBoy]

This isn't about getting drafted. I guarantee you that Bailey isn't declaring in the hopes a team takes a flier. This is him getting additional feedback on where he can improve his game which he may not get.

There is no need to knock him or his game.

[tower912]

He is older than Markus.    .   I don't see him getting drafted, but like everyone else, he doesn't have anything else to do.

Guys, he means Ners. You can stop the paperwork.

Not signing with an agent, though

@EvanDaniels

Marquette wing Brendan Bailey is declaring for the NBA Draft but won't sign with an agent and intends to keep his eligibility, per a source.

Smart. "Declaring" without signing an agent really doesn't mean much. Doing what a lot of kids do in order to get feedback. Hopefully he gets some really good feedback and uses it constructively to improve.

[willie warrior]

Lots to work on for Brendan.

More than lots--tons. This is a case of over estimating oneself.

The most puzzling one to me is Sam Hauser. I have no idea why he never once submitted his name.

No it's not

No it isn't. But that statement is ironic coming from you.

Mazos doing takeout?

Think he went out of business on Twitter

I think a lot of that had to do with his injuries and transfer. He had surgery between soph and junior year so he couldn't have worked out for scouts.

When he announced he was transferring it would have looked bad to also declare. I still think Sam knew he had work to do and saw a transfer as a way to do it.

[Newsdreams]

Well, hope he makes the right decision and returns.

When is the cutoff to take your name out of the draft?

Per JSOnline June 15th

Per JSOnline June 15th

The NCAA's date to withdraw is June 3rd..

As of today, underclassmen have until the end of the day April 26 to officially declare for the draft. They can maintain their college eligibility, if they so chose, by withdrawing by June 3. (The NBA's withdrawal deadline is June 15, which some prospects may use to play overseas.)

Thanks, then JS Online has it wrong they say until June 15 and still eligible.

If the JS is wrong, then so is the NBA, because they also have June 15.

No the point is the NCAA requires players to remove themselves from the draft by June 3 to maintain eligibility.  There was talk that the NCAA was going to extend it to match the NBA's but I don't know if they ever did that.

Would it be so bad he left?  Give Oso and Cain more playing time, and then you could play Garcia at the 3 with Lewis at the 4.

It would not help MU.

Yes

[muguru]

I mean, I don't necessarily see this happening, but it wouldn't totally shock me either if a GM took him with a 2nd round pick as a favor to his dad. Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened.
