Sanders Entering Draft
- Thread starter RUfan620
- Start date
I think Corey knows where he is projected right now (late 2nd or Undrafted), but with the new rules it allows him to go through the draft processes. I doubt he hires an agent.
Most players are doing this. It really means nothing under the new rules unless he signs with an agent.
Better for us that he's spending all this time exploring the NBA and not exploring another college.

Not a big deal unless he hires an agent. The entire Kentucky team has done this

Sanders will be Pikiells biggest headache or biggest achievement. If he can somehow get Sanders to learn how to work and be a leader that will be impressive.
I agree I think this will only help us, and help Corey's development.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he can only do this "without an agent" thing one time, before he has to commit for real in the future, right?
It is crazy how many kids announce for the NBA Draft these days. I would be shocked if Corey was ever drafted this year. I don't think he is anywhere near ready yet.
I'm not totally sure. Just based off quick research it looks like they can do this multiple times, "proposal also would allow underclassmen to declare multiple times for the draft during their career. They could also go for one NBA team workout in addition to the NBA-sponsored combine in a given year.(ESPN)"
I think declaring and not hiring an agent so you're able to go back to college ball is just a way to get NBA feedback letting him know what areas the NBA scouts think needs work in order to be picked in first round.
It's a sound move for someone thinking they might just go after their next season.

No. He can do this every year if he wants.
The council also voted that players will be allowed to enter or remove their names from the NBA draft multiple times without jeopardizing their eligibility and also will be allowed to participate in the NBA draft combine and one NBA team tryout per year.

I don't know why but oddly this brings back memories for me of Cortez Davis declaring for the draft.
Yep, even the walk-ons.

Difference is Whitehead right now is a much better player and NBA prospect (pains me to say that). And BTW Whitehead declaring didn't do Corey any favors!
I think this is the wrong guy, at the wrong place, at the wrong time,
for RU. It's always going to be one thing or another with him.
Maybe this is why he was still around for Rutgers to pick him
up, maybe others saw what Jordan did not.

If he doesn't get drafted he will just come back. Sounds like a plan.
I really don't follow the NBA so I have no idea about the draft procedure.
My concern is when is the draft held and how much of our time is wasted
while Sanders decides to continue with this quest. Will we lose out on a
replacement recruit?

I'm shocked that no one picked up that he said "Come back to College". Then mentions Rutgers in the next sentence. Certainly seems to imply that he was saying he'll come back to A college, and then thanks Rutgers for everything in the past.
Then again, with how terribly written most of these statements are, it's probably foolish to read for subtext...

Bottom line...I think its 80-20 he pulls himself for the draft
Now...the question is does he play internationally or return to RU?
That, my guess is a 50-50 proposition
And....You have to think that next year is likely his last year here....

Let's assume that Sanders doesn't get drafted in the first round. The real question is simple, can Sanders shine in the NBA summer league.
I would argue that it would be easier for Sanders to play well in the NBA summer league than next year at Rutgers. No more Teachers, No more books, lol.
Hate to say it, but I think Sanders is making the correct call here. Good Luck in the NBA, Corey. Really enjoyed watching you play!!!

Do you remember the constant rumors Douby was transferring after EACH season? I'm still glad he didn't transfer.
I don;t think we see him in scarlet again. He's a BB player and not a student athlete. New coach at RU on a very bad team. Not much in it for Corey unless he enjoys going to college in NJ. I doubt that is the case.
If he comes back to school it's Rutgers. He will not sit out a year.
