BYUFootballisBack Intervention Needed

special of a place BYU is that he was willing to forego instant massive amounts of money, to stay and play one more year

it hurts nothing

I believe there is almost no chance Demin returns. Consider:

You don't want him to return. Otherwise, 1-and-dones won't come here.

We say that every time someone enters the draft with eligibility left.

Genghis Spreads

He needs to put on 15lbs and fine tune his 3pt shooting, also an x-factor named

That’s just not true.

ColonelSaunders

Mar 28, 10:44am

Well that isn’t true. His decision to stay or go has little to no bearing on

RalphWiggam

I don’t believe this idea at all. You want guys getting drafted as lotteries. If

He came here and couldn't become a lottery pick when he was originally projected

Genghis Spreads

Mar 28, 10:48am

I think you are over-thinking this. If he is a lottery pick next year, nobody

Real knows real…. Players know why other players do things. They aren’t stupid

kotacoug

Yeah, they might think we're forcing them to stay against their will.

If he is in the bottom range of the draft he could get 2 mill from NIL. He could

Is there any chance Richie sneaks into the first round or is

Lifer

Mar 28, 10:44am

NO....I love Richie, but he is a G-league player.

Adrielle

Would probably go to Europe before hanging out in the G-league

Lifer

Mar 28, 10:49am

There is abolutely a chance he returns....

Adrielle

Mar 28, 10:45am

For me, being risk adverse, if I were him I'd go. You are healthy. Get drafted

I don't totally agree with your last point.

I think he will go to NBA. Would hope he would stay if I could figure out a way to justify it as best for him. I can't.

I've always said that Demin was gone as long as he was a lottery pick

tacallaway

Mar 28, 10:56am

Right. But that's if it's only about money.

WaybackCougar

It's about his long term future in the NBA. Be done with school, go work 100% of your time on the game.

roseyscenario

I have no idea what anyone would do with 10 mil.

Live off that sweet, sweet interest income for the rest of their life

BYU Superfan

I believe the exact opposite. There's almost no chance he doesn't return.

Threw and Through

Mar 28, 12:21pm

I disagree, he's very young; even with money it's a long haul and bouncing around if he jumps to the NBA just yet -

BYUFootballRocks1

Do we really care if Demin leaves? Nope. His game is too soft for college play.

SoggyBB

Mar 28, 1:41pm

Demin would be smart to stay and have experience at BYU. He'll be better for it

Plantagenet

Mar 28, 1:45pm

Given how young he is you may be correct

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 2:00pm

If you are looking at the value of just next year, then sure...but

DesertBlues

Mar 28, 2:00pm

He's not going 17-20, he's projected in more of the 10-14 range

tacallaway

Mar 28, 2:52pm

Before the tourney he had dropped to the 17-21 range.

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:02pm

Depends on which mock you subscribed to, ESPN always had him late lottery

tacallaway

Mar 28, 3:05pm

NBA.com had him at 20 before the tourney.

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:07pm

The other thing people are factoring in is when AJ Dybantsa comes in he is going

HonestTakes

Mar 28, 2:40pm

No one is saying he should stick around if he’s projected 1-14ish. It’s anything

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:03pm

I think there is a 40% chance he returns. I personally think it would be the best thing for him, but what do I know?

KYU

Mar 28, 3:33pm

ESPN had him projected at #9 in their last updated draft

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 3:53pm

Are you going to tell the rest of the story with that?
