No way is Wall staying. Bledsoe I can see, but Wall has the opportunity to make millions of dollars by leaving UK at the end of the year, there is no way he would stay.

You can go to college and get an education any time nowadays, but to pass up a chance at making millions of dollars would be stupid. That'd be like hitting the Powerball jackpot and saying, "Nah, I don't want the money this time, let me see if I can hit the Powerball again next year."

CE, I agree with you completely. My son has been hopeful that Wall stays because of his promise to get a Degree to his father. I explained to my son, Lebron has his college degree, and never played a single play of college Basketball. Meaning, these guys (Including Garnett, Wade and Kobe) have all did their education remotely and received college degrees without having to be a regular student. If I am not mistaken, Kobe may had a Masters degree in laguage arts.

So, Wall can still get his degree if he is committed to do so but claim the pay that this young man has worked so hard for through the first 13 years of education. He does not need to risk his health on one dumb play that could take his livelihood away.

I think if people asked themselves this question: If the NBA accepted High School players to enter the draft immediately, which of these UK Frosh would have even came to UK? I'm not sure that Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Orton or Dodson would have considered anything other than the NBA.

If we recall what was happening during the final years of the NBA allowing HS players to come directly in, they were averaging 20+ HS players per year declaring for the draft. With only two rounds, only 4-5 players were getting drafted and the other 15 or so players were becoming undrafted Free Agents that wound up without a Pro or Colloge Career.
