New article on Rivals about his status in means of declaring for the draft or staying for his remaining at Tennessee for his senior year. I'm not a member. Can anyone tell me what the article says and what your opinion is whether he forgoes his senior year or returns.

"It's just too soon right now. I don't know what I'm going to do."

Not sure where both would project.
I think Wayne's stock has gone up some, still up and down, every night tho.

Wayne's stock has to be falling. His limited athleticism becomes more apparent every time we play.

If Wayne wants to prove that he'll be a serviceable player in the NBA someday he's going to have to show some type of back to the basket game. Plenty of tall players can shoot the ball better than he can so that's not all too impressive for him. One thing he's got going for him is his on ball defense in the interior. His focus is something that he needs to work on as well.

As for Tyler, someone needs to tell him that style points don't count. He can make tough two's but he puts way to much theatrics on some shots when they're a whole lot simpler.

He has a nasty stare-down

From the end of last year, to the end of this year, it has gone up in my mind. I don't like the show up one night, and stay home the next. That is what will keep his stock down.

At the end of last year, I did not think he would play at the next level.(NBA, Europe, anywhere)I think that has changed now.

You don't care if Chism returns? We need his inside presence next year.

i have heard several coaches this year say that us having a 5 man that can shoot the three makes it difficult to defend us when Chism is hitting..... he is definately of value to the team and without him we would have lost several more games this year.....

that being said i think the point is that he is a solid college player but not really a pro prospect

What inside presence? When I think of inside presence, I think of Dejuan Blair from Pitt. To me, Chism plays way to much on the perimeter to make himself an inside presence.

As for Smith, I think he is gone, he is projected late first round by many draft sites. That would put alot of money in his pocket.

IMO though I think he needs another year to work on his outside game.

IMO, the NBA is a long shot for both. However, making 300-600K over seas is very likely. Depends on how bad they want to get paid to play. Brekin zee English?
