Depending on whether you're a glass half-full or glass half-empty kind of person, Andy Katz's story this morning on Jim Boeheim's recommendation that Jonny Flynn test the NBA Draft waters could be seen as horrifying or somewhat reassuring:
Boeheim said late Tuesday night that he is going to recommend that Flynn put his name in the draft by the April 30 deadline, go through a few workouts and get a true read on his status.
"He'd have to be top 10," Boeheim said. "He came in and wants to stay and I do think he'll come back unless he's fairly high."
There's something reassuring about it in a way. No one is burying their heads in the sand to the reality of the situation. Right now Jonny probably is a first-round pick. But next year he could be a top ten pick for sure. Why risk pulling a Donte when you know you could do so much better next year. Especially if, as Andy points out, Jonny really wants to come back next year and compete for a national title.
Andy also mention this non-scoop scoop:
There is a chance that juniors Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf may not return to the team for their senior seasons, according to a source close to the situation.
So a source says that it's possibly possible? Does that even qualify as a scoop? Can I say that a source close to the situation says there's a chance that Eric Devendorf is actually a Cylon? Cause I think it's true.
