Been hanging out home with his daughter and buddy Dwayne Bacon. I believe Shoes is trying to help find a team in Europe for him.
I was wondering the same thing. Kid should of came back got the degree and then pursued G-League or overseas. I hope he receives some sort of pro career
4the knights is right as hell on this.I would think Shoes would tell him to go back to school. I could see if he wanted to leave after the sophmore year. To make it to your junior year and not get your degree just seems silly. Also, the scouts see the whole picture. Senior year of HS to JR year of college.
I read on twitter a post he made about his situation making him humble. Just wish there was a better option for the kid. That may be overseas, though.
Let's go #3!
4the knights is right as hell on this.
Kid should be back at Rutgers
He's not an NBA player------not a high end European League player either
If he wants to take care of his child the first step to that is having a degree so he can support himself and his child and he should be looking at finishing up his degree requirements.
The alternative is the street and that ends badly for too many guys.
I really don't know if another year would have benefited him besides getting his degree. And we all know that very little percentage of kids are coming to D1 schools for an education. Very little. My friends works for the G league of the lakers and was telling me about the process. He said he has people call in every day asking to view their tapes, etc. He also said that the majority of players(he happened to meet Lebron James last week) have a lot of people around them that feed them only what they want to hear.
If Sanders was to come back, someone would need have to tell him what he didn't want to hear. If he did that, he could have had a g league option. But between year 1-3, his game didn't improve enough to where it would take him to that next level.
A degree is a huge benefit. He could have been in school now instead of sitting at home.
No comparison----Briscoe went to the Soviet Union-----very high paying----almost as high as Kentucky ! :):)Sanders is still young and can work to get to higher levels.
Isiah Briscoe went overseas and is now on a two way contract with the Orlando Magic.

He will have to improve a ton to get to the level of Isiah Briscoe
I agree RC it doesn't have to happen----but it does a lot when young guys get into situations where they need money and child support can get pricey.
The rule should be retroactive to this year's undrafted college players.And just last week the NCAA has implemented a rule that allows undrafted players to return to school.
Just one year to late for Sanders..
Wish him the best
And as far as Corey vs Briscoe. I think their talent level is close, although I’d give Briscoe the edge because of his size. Put Corey in Kentucky with that kind of talent around him I think he’d looks like a better player..put Briscoe on those RU teams Corey played on, especially early on, and I think he struggles even more
That’s working out real good for him right now.A degree is irrelevant for him right now. You think he’s going to start a job in some filthy back office doing operations support for 40k? He’s a basketball player. Go earn as much as you can overseas and you’ll be able to support your family. He can finish school at any time in the future, another year of college won’t make him 6’5 and ambidextrous. An athlete has a short amount of time to maximize their earnings, a degree in sociology or whatever worthless major athletes choose to stay eligible won’t do anything for him.

Hey here's a thought. He could marry the woman who have birth to his child, cherish the both of them for life, provide greater economic stability to his family unit, and build a personal support system for whatever career he pursues, all at the same time. Just sayin.
He made the wrong decision before he even stepped foot on the RU basketball court by knocking someone up, now he is facing those consequences. He will probably land somewhere eventually because of his talent, but much lower than we would have expected. Wish him luck, waiting for @RU4Real to come and attack me!
No he didn't----did you watch the NBA Summer League ?Lol.
Isiah Briscoe was not a star at Kentucky. Far from it for his position. He has a similar situation as Sanders- he could not shoot the ball well. That is kind of important. Briscoe focused on that aspect, and now has a shot at the NBA.
Are you saying they are different levels of skill because Briscoe went to Kentucky and Sanders Rutgers? Their last years weren't all that different.
I am suprisee he got a two way then. Sanders is probably just waiting for a situation that makes the best sense for him. He can play somewhere overseas and make money. Might not be the highest level, but he has a skill set.No he didn't----did you watch the NBA Summer League ?
Briscoe didn't shoot the ball very well from the perimeter
He can distribute and defend-----that's why he has a 2 way contract and if you think Sanders is his equal then why doesn't Sanders have a sniff of going overseas yet ?
This struck me as an odd sentence. Another way to state it is: "I don't know if another year would have benefited him besides this hugely beneficial thing."I really don't know if another year would have benefited him besides getting his degree. . . .
I'm trying to think if there ever was a more hated person on this message board than you Crown. No, you are so hated by most here.

Yes he does have a skill set-----but shooting from deep isn't part of it and people at any level want a 2 Guard who can shoot the 3 well and there are lots of those guys around.I am suprisee he got a two way then.

I think eventually he could work his way up to the upper level leagues, like spain/italy/france but he will likely have to follow the route of myles mack but maybe be a slight tick above and play in like lithuaniaYes he does have a skill set-----but shooting from deep isn't part of it and people at any level want a 2 Guard who can shoot the 3 well and there are lots of those guys around.
His best chance IMO to continue playing basketball is to go to a low level of overseas ball and work his way up the ladder-----England or Australia might be a good fit.
The Rivals message board platform didn't always have a "like" button. That is a relatively new feature.Also 96 Likes in 17 Years or 140 Likes in 8 months?? Numbers don't lie there buddy, I think you are less liked than I am. Checked the scoreboard
Not more than me!!!! The BIG Build doomed me lol.I'm trying to think if there ever was a more hated person on this message board than you Crown. No, you are so hated by most here.
