Same with Garcia. I feel there are areas of his fame he can improve to increase his draft stock. I don't see him getting drafted this year. Not hiring an agent leads me to believe he will be back if he does not get invited to the big boy combine.

NIL will definitely help that

That is actually a really good point.  If you want players to remain in college, let them earn a little more money on the side.

And no knowledge that players get to return to school on scholarship to get their degrees if they leave early.
not if they sign a contract
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

No they still do. MU offers lifetime scholarships. If Chones or Wade or Vander or Henry wanted to return they could. Doc obviously already did.

Yes they can.  They no longer have basketball eligibility but Marquette allows all basketball players who end their college careers at Marquette to return and finish their degrees on scholarship.  Vander Blue, Henry Ellenson, D.J. Carton are all eligible for this benefit.

How about Wally? Only if he gets Henry to come back and get his degree?

I was under the impression that Wally got his degree, but I wouldn't see why he couldn't.

Hopefully, Garcia won't be.




(because he finishes his degree before moving on, of course!)

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Here's a better article about Obi Toppin. Didn't realize he redshirted his first year. https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/dayton-forward-obi-toppin-flyer-nation-back/swdGYPUHyYBrpHbWlNlxtI/

Does this apply to graduate school as well.  I was listening to a Planet Money Podcast (Amateur Hour at the Supreme Court) where they were discussing benefits for college athletes, and I thought they said schools can offer to pay for graduate school for their players at any university they want?

Garcia with 19 points and 6 rebounds  in the second game today at the G League Elite Camp today.  His points were the 4th highest in the two games, fwiw.  DJ Carton was on his team as well and had 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers.

Fantastic I hope they get invited it to the  NBA combine .

Garcia finished as the top scorer in the G-League Elite Combine. Guessing that earns him a trip to the real combine.

If they are only inviting 5 from the camp (arbitrary number), Givony has reported that Duane Washington, AJ Lawson, Aaron Wiggins have been invited. I would assume Mac Mclung will be due to his off the chart measurables. That leaves 1 spot.

Edit: Carlik Jones given an invite per HoopsHype
