All the talk on the A-10 board is that they are merely testing the waters, as many here have said, and will most likely return for the senior year. Pops is definitely not ready. He can rebound and block shots, but he has a limited offensive game for the NBA. Mike Hall has the entire package, beginning with brains. I am certain that he will pull himself out of the draft if he is not ready. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

I can't imagine why players are leaving early. The NBA has hardly any imagination on defense, and, to think of it, on offense too. The season is way too long. There are not many big games and the fan's spirit is not like college. Seems like a very boring existence. I'd much rather be a big man on campus and look forward to NCAA Basketball and the many different styles of play. (NT) -- The Fish, Tue March 29, 2005 08:37:53

I can think of about a million reasons why players look to leave early. (NT) -- ace93, Tue March 29, 2005 08:52:05

Yes, none of them good ones, if you're fringe prospects (at best) like these two. Neither of them are even remotely ready for the league. Disturbing that a kid like Hall, who is very academic-minded, doesn't have a bit more sense when it comes to this. (NT) -- Ramfan, Tue March 29, 2005 16:15:03
- Ramfan, I am a bit surprised to see such a comment coming from you. It is very clear that Hall and Pops are just testing the waters. It is a good way to see how they match up, get evaluated by pro scouts/coaches and have an idea of where they will stand at the end of their senior year going into next year's draft. This i not like the old days where once you declare you cannot go back to college. I know you know all of this, but your comment about Hall not having sense of the situation makes it look otherwise.
