Maybe you guys have but DM8 said he asked Bmatt directly and Bmatt said he talked to people around Austin and they did he’s going pro no matter what but believe his stock will rise during workouts before the draft.
 
Not surprising. But I don’t think he has to make a decision until about a week before the draft. I imagine he’s going to go through the entire process and wait as long as possible to see what his draft status will be. If he isn’t a first round pick, I think he’d make a mistake by leaving because nothing is guaranteed in the second round, but if he’s as improved as people have said he is, he will probably show out at the combine and be a late first rounder.
 
This board is really quiet tonight.Is this the norm or Saturday night or cuz the boogs got beat or none of the above lol.
 
Have you ever had so much negativity on a message board that you wanted to leave it?
Yeah the bunker is pretty negative. And there are a few here that made it negative but they behave better here. I guess negativity breeds more negativity.

That’s basically what Bryan said on Sportscall the other day.

I needed a nights sleep before even view a message board. Not cause AU dropped a game, but because we lost Anfernee for the season. I’m not sure the last time an injury crushed me in real time like that. He isn’t our best player, but he’s Top 2 in terms of being impossible to replace for a team that’s already without 2 probable starters for the season.

I need to start drinking but it’s 8am.

Beef stock is my secret ingredient in Bloody Marys.
 
Ugggghhhhh.

He was doing workouts alone before the UK game. My guess is it was for the scouts in attendance. His goal is definitely to go pro. Don’t think he cares about redemption or being apart of a positive side of Boog history.

If he does leave, wonder how he’ll be received if he ever comes to visit Boogville?

Which is interesting because PMarshall is saying he is being told that if Wiley doesn't feel he will go in the first round, he plans to come back next year.

I want to believe but it’s sounded like Bmatt talked to Vickie herself.

That's what weed is for.
 
I trust PAM.
Agree. Him and mark Murphy are the only ones with solid information out of all the mods. I’ll ask around, but tbh I don’t think he will stay. Let’s not forget his parents want to be taken care of, and they’ve embarrassed themselves over this investigation. I think their support of Wiley behind the bench was to not lose their sons loyalty. He could have easily said go Fvck yourselves to his parents.

I keep coming back to Orr taking less than 5 figures knowing it would jeopardize his college career. I think he’s gone regardless of round

Yeah not sure this is about the “smart move” anymore. Plus having to endure all the crap again next year and the stigma of being the parent that cost him a season is going to push them towards leaving. Once you have gone pro people laugh about this type of thing. But if he’s playing college ball next year they are still demonized and talked about weekly, especially if he’s dominating.

I just don’t see how he’s gonna improve his stock immensely from a couple days at the combine or showing teams he can dunk on air in a workout. Early 2nd only guaranteed a mil of 2 while coming back and going top 20ish talking $7-10M.

I don’t know I just feel like it’s got to be a consideration to come back. I’m sure he’ll sit down with Desean and figure out what’s best.

I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as BMatt thinks.
Will all come down to his combine numbers and workouts. The only tape we have on the new Wiley is from the Olympic team. I think he will kill the combine since he has so much time and has done a wonderful job getting in shape.

The other side of that “time” thing is he hasn’t played games. Hasn’t faced any actual C’s even in practice. Hasn’t been in the intensity of game speed. And sat out of practices for awhile with injuries too.

It’s possible he looks worse in the combine from rust. You can’t replicate the intensity of a game or even a true combine where guys go all out.

I agree, but he’s also playing basketball. It’s not like he’s hurt and hasn’t been playing basketball.

the other side of this is the "hey look at Mac. This shit could happen to anyone on any day...best take the money and run. why waste the chance just to get get an accolade in college?"

Yeah I meant to say the other day the worst thing about macs injury, other than the obvious, is it might make Wiley get cold feet if he was debating about coming back now.
