With a bunch of players likely headed to the draft, in transfer portal or already gone who returns as the Top B1G BIGs along with Myles Johnson?
 
Considering very few of them are being projected as late 1st ounders (at best), I could see most pulling out of the draft.
Garza and Cockburn.

Oturu is an interesting case.
Does he stay in with a late 1st round projection?
Or try again next year?

I'm not sure how strong the 2021 draft is projected but this 2020 draft is not expected to be particularly strong.

Do some of these Bigs risk it next year in a stronger draft?
 
Oruro is going pro. Can’t see Garza’s stock increasing more than it has this year but ppl say he’s coming back which is baffling almost.
No idea what cockburn is doing but he could use another year, physically he’s got it.

Garza returning isn't about "improving his draft stock".
It's more "his draft stock can't go any lower".

Whether it is this year or next he is a projected 2nd round draft pick at best - most likely undrafted.

The question is on him - does he want to leave college now or wait a year?
 
Garza is a 6'11 dude that stepped out and hit 35% from 3 point land last year. NBA teams may just like that in a backup Center.

Oturu is a lottery pick. Stick should be one as well.
