It's going to be tough for a guard that can't shoot to break into any decent league. I think he might be better off jump starting his pro career if he learns to shoot first. I don't think it will happen, but that would be the rationale. |

Shaq wasn't great, but he's doing what he can. I would guess he's making 2-3 thousand a month in his 5th pro year. I hope he's happy there. People can still be happy without big money. I don't think Keith is much better than Shaq, so I don't think his pro career will amount to much either. But he has a chance to make himself a little more valuable if he wants. Low level pro basketball is a grind with not much reward. I just wonder if some guys might prefer another year working on their game in college before going into that. |

There's a reason players generally don't leave early to go play in Europe. If they're not good enough to land a spot on a top tier team, they aren't going to earn much more than the cost of living. So it's not like they're squandering a year of earning potential by staying in college.
If Keith leaves, he is leaving early. He would be choosing to go pro and forego a scholarship. That's very rare for players that don't have NBA aspirations, unless they want to live in Europe (like Rap). |

You need pay to get Keith, gabe, and Harvey back. Then add another wing or PG with a couple rim protectors

My prediction of who will be back
Lahkin Eason Davenport M Madsen Adams Woods Dejulius Saunders Questionable G Madsen - who knows how he's dealing with things. May want to play closer to home Vogt - I think he should move on, not sure what else there is for him to do here, but when he originally came to UC he was planning to sit one play 2 if I recall Gone Harvey Keith Diarra I do worry about Mason, if Gabe does not return, but I think both will be back. So with 5 open scholarships I think we'll be in good shape if we get a starting 5, backup 4, wing and project guard and leave 1 scholarship open |

Keith has a limited amount of years to make a living playing basketball, I can't see it being smart for him to spend another 1 in college. I consider him 99.9% gone.
