Around College Basketball

US Guard as two posters have noted, the only problem with your post is that (a) it's wrong and (b) you have the wrong Hurley.  But you do you.
 
 
One of these days , the Hurley Bros  switch Jobs . Bobby to UCONN, Danny to Arizona State . To top that , Sean Miller takes IU job , Archie takes over at Arizona .

The NBA announced that deadline to declare for this year’s NBA Draft is Sunday, May 30 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The deadline for an early entry player to withdraw from the NBA Draft is Monday, July 19 at 5 p.m. ET.

We're still awaiting word on the NCAA's plans for when their own withdrawal deadline will be. Expect that to be around ten days following the NBA Combine (July 7th) if history repeats itself. That's a very late date for college coaches, but earlier than last year (August 3, 2020)

Wow..more than solid. This kid is really good. Love his game. Steph Curry is tight with him too. I saw how close they were pre game about 2 years ago at a Davidson game I attended when Curry was on campus and was releasing one of Curry's sneakers. UA had a big event on campus. Curry was hanging w/ Grady quite a bit.
 
Syracuse’s Alan Grifin will enter the NBA Draft and is expected to sign with an agent

One thing I didn't think Duke needed. More players to hate.
 
 
Watching all the kids around the country happy to play a fifth year of college basketball shows that there are plenty of players you can recruit who aren't in a hurry to go play professional ball in Bulgaria, you just have to vet your recruits.

And just so there is no misunderstanding that is not a shot at CMA but at Mullin who (unless Greg returns) recruited zero players who stayed at SJU four years. I have made this point before so I know there is a dead horse aspect but all these fifth year guys returning at their original schools, two more in the BE this week announced with Gillespie and Polley, puts to rest the idea that none of these kids want to stay at college any longer than they have to do so. 

For anyone there Mullins introductory press conference might have been (should I take out might?) the highlight of his tenure. Overall the day made you feel very optimistic, but one comment he was emphatic about stuck out for me as a warning. Chris went on a lot about how many ways there were to make a living in basketball, and how he could help kids do that. It seemed like an odd thing for a new college coach to say, he was saying the quiet part out loud - " to me, it's not about college, this is a stepping stone." 

I've never heard Jay Wright say that.
