Andy Katz says scouts believe that Morris will return

I assume you are referring to this:

Those close to Morris insist that going through the process as if you are dead set on entering the draft is important. No NBA team wants to waste their time if they think you plan to return to school. That being said, I would be pleasantly surprised if Morris made the decision to turnaround and head back to Ann Arbor at this point.

I didn't read that as Dylan saying Morris leaving is a "near-lock." I think it sounds more like Dylan trying to move his emotional frame; preferring to be pleasantly surprised rather than crushingly disappointed. I did the same thing before M played MSU in bball last season.

The only important brandon wood is the baseball one, and even then its only because he's possibly the worst player to see even semi regular playing time ever.

Since Lucas was kicked off they had an extra scholarship laying around not being used for this year and couldnt sign anyone to use it hence use the Mundy rule and find a player who has eligibility remaining but has completed his undergrad and there you have it, a 1 and done Masters student who plays PG which is a position of need for them.

Yeah. The draft is fairly weak this year, meaning he may go higher than his stock would usually merit. His jumper is clearly lacking and, in most circumstances, he would be looking at a second-round pick. But with the lack of clear-cut talent at the top of the draft, he may be brought up into the first round.

Not great news for M fans.

Regardless, we will know this week what his plans are.  Whatever happens, I just want to know. I hate waiting. Screw patience.

May we not quench?
