So with Hagans, and Maxey

[Canned Heat]

which were expected, IMO. How does the rest of the potential early entrants go this week? We know Cal always plans these announcements to maximize daily exposure for each player. So I predict, in no specific order, the next three days are:
Tuesday - EJ - 50/50
Wednesday - Richards - goes
Thursday - IQ - goes

 

[Hoskins21]

EJ is the only one with any chance of returning.

 

[katwest]

Good luck to the guys that declare for the league, it's all business now and a fight for survival against other players just as good or better than you.

 

[CatColumbia]

EJ is the only one with any chance of returning.

Did you read what his father had to say? By the looks of it there is a single digit chance he comes back.

Yeah, things can change after feedback. Chances are low but still.

So what feedback will he get this year that is any more positive than what he received last year?

Exactly. When he has a few NBA gm’s basically say “what are you stupid?” maybe he’ll decide he doesn’t want to play in China and come back.

Literally none but he will go anyways lol.

 

[westerncat]

Will not be surprised if IQ comes back . E.J. will return. Richards could come back.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

I hope you are correct WC.

 

[westerncat]

I hope you are correct WC.

Me to.

 

[WildcatFan60]

hard to believe we are losing all 5 starters from this team... goodness... Maxey and Richards should be the only 2 leaving. A great recruiting class is probably going to waste

 

[ThunderMash]

I think IQ will be announcing his decision to leave tomorrow or Wednesday with Nick's decision to leave coming on whatever day IQ's isn't. IMO, an agent will be involved with both. (Could be wrong.)

EJ will be last because he is the "most" on the fence, but his dad's comments are pretty telling.

 

[CatColumbia]

Like the optimism but he can go to Europe like Briscoe did, or go to the GLeague like Kalen Johnson. Playing for Cal is very demanding and taxing. I’m banking on him leaving.

 

[MWes11]

I would imagine it will be one per day. Nick tomorrow.

"This draft class will be weaker than the one last year and the one next year and teams would rather draft a 20 year old than a 21 year old."

 

[Canned Heat]

"This draft class will be weaker than the one last year and the one next year and teams would rather draft a 20 year old than a 21 year old."

this draft is totally weak. Which could mean some of our guys get drafted when otherwise they wouldn't. But, if all potential early entrants think the same, and all declare, it will be a moot point.
