Poole gone?
It appears he's profiting off of his own likeness-

For $20 you can get a shoutout from Jordan Poole. Based on the ratings it appears someone has already paid for one.m
Poole gone.
depends on his Wonderlic score

Been Gone
Staff has been recruiting like it too. Don't be shocked by iggy either.
I have to admit that the $20 shout out I received from JP made my day a little brighter.
What type of loser would pay $20 for something like this?
What are the rules on this thing? Can I pay $20 to have him record a video that says “My name is Jordan Poole and I should have stayed in school”?
[redacted]
Isn’t this part of why he’s upset?
And Nick Ward is the reason why they were 3-0 against Michigan and made the FF. If he were healthy, a stubborn Izzo would have waddled him out there for 25+ minutes a game.
I will pay him $50 to do a fake press conference announcing his "return" to UofM just for this boards reaction.
The entire University of Houston.

I read this as "$20 shoot out". I figured he would shoot around in my back yard. $20 would be worth it.
How much does it cost for him to actually make one?
April 22nd, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Go to Facebook. Search "Michigan fan group" you'll find thousands of fans who are exactly that type of loser.
i bought 10 of them. And left a tip.
Matt McQuaid should pay for "congrats on your big ten conference championship, big ten tournament championship, and final four appearance."
Given Poole did 2 of those 3 things AND actually won in the Final Four, I don't think it'd would've bothered him much.
I can't imagine this is allowed during the draft process.
He's gone
We landed on the moon???!!!!
For people who care about the details, he still has (or had) a window to come back so it wasn't a for sure.
Especially since you can come back to school after the draft if you don't get drafted.
If you stay in the draft, you can't come back to school. The NCAA has proposed a rule change that would allow players who went undrafted after participating in the NBA combine to return, but it's not in effect this year.
Yes you can. If you don't get drafted you have a very short amount of time to terminate your agent and return.

Sorry WD, that is not correct. The headline of that article is misleading. If you read the article carefully, you will see that the change is pending action by the NBA. That hasn't happened, so the new rule won't apply this year.
“This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season,” the NCAA wrote."
April 23rd, 2019 at 12:43 AM ^
I think WD is right.
If he goes Undrafted, he can rejoin the NCAA. but I think the tricky part is if he starts making money (with cameos), will he still be eligible to return?
i hate Jim Delaney. No specific reason related to this. I just do.
That article is from the same time as the other one, back in August immediately after the NCAA announced their new rules. But the change is conditional upon the NBA and NBAPA changing their rules and that hasn't happened.
With the current NBA rules, players that have gone though the draft and weren't chosen can't go through it again. They're eligible to be signed as free agents at any time instead.
Hmmmmmm.
i see your point, but that’s not how the media is portraying this. Most outlets say that all of these underclassmen who are entering the draft have a chance to return if they go undrafted, even after signing an agent.
Shockingly, a lot of the media is wrong. They proposed the rule that you can come back, but it's not in play this year.
There's a lot of sloppy reporting out there. Just look at the article you linked vs the one WD linked. They're from the same day. One specifically mentioned the change was dependent on the NBA changing their own rules. The other didn't and made it sound like the new rule would go into effect immediately. Here's a link to an article discussing what's in the memo the NCAA recently sent to coaches about how the new rules work. https://www.aseaofblue.com/2019/4/5/18296225/nba-draft-2019-rules-agent-deadline
No one has ever reported the NBA changed the relevant rule. One thing we can be sure about, the NCAA doesn't want to have players that can sign NBA contracts mid-season. The NBA doesn't like the idea of players going through multiple drafts. It gives players more leverage.
My guess is that it won't matter much anyhow. Few underclassmen go undrafted after getting combine invites. Players that withdraw from the draft often do so because they get second round grades. They'll still do that for the same reason.
The NCAA didn't do a great job with their press release. The whole HS students hiring agents rule change was confusing, clearly couldn't go into effect now and was based on not communicating with the other organizations involved. The other thing that confuses people is that one of the new rules did go into effect already, the part about college players signing agents.
Must return by May 29th if they are returning.
"Dozens of current NCAA players have entered the draft process, but they won't all be keeping their name in by the May 29 withdrawal deadline. Who has already said they're coming back to school? Who intends to stay in?
Don't forget, under new NCAA rules for 2019, players can now hire a certified agent, declare for the draft and still withdraw by the deadline (as long as the player ends the relationship with the agent after withdrawing)."

I won't bad-mouth a kid who played for UM, so I'll opt to say nothing at all. On to the guys who actually want to be here.
On saying nothing at all: you're doing it wrong.

He's been gone. Why is this so hard to accept? Move on, Beilein has.
I've always felt Matthews and Poole 100% gone and Iggy about 80%.
It's on the internet now (again), it must be true.
April 22nd, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
Iggy wont be totally gone... if his brother plays here.
April 22nd, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
Iggy has a brother?
April 22nd, 2019 at 10:46 PM ^
Fraggy Braz Wagnis
We want all the Fraggys.
Good luck to him. He is a nice, fun-loving kid. He has some growing up to do, but what sophomore in college doesn’t? I wish him great success at the next level; wherever that is.
Now let’s go get Franz...
Spot on comment here. I’m hopeful he has some growth and finds tons of success at whatever the next level looks like for him.
Time to move on.
I still have some growing up to do.
I'm 6'4". I've always wanted to be 6'6".
Oh... wait...

I’m 58 and my wife calls me childish ?
True. He's allowed to do whatever he wants, and he is still only like 19 or 20 so of course he is going to be somewhat immature. But that's what made him so lovable - he was kind of a giant goofball.
I think some people feel like he has a great opportunity to play into the first round next season, and he very well could, but he wants to just be a pro basketball player right now - not necessarily NBA.
So good luck to Jordan, and we will keep cheering him on in his career.
That’s a good perspective and part of it.
We see so much upside with JP and the ability to play himself into the 1st round and a bigger contact. Combine that with how much that type of season could elevate the team and fans are frustrated.
JP will make it if he works hard enough. I think he is tired of the college game.
For what’s its worth I don’t think I would pay a smokin hot chick in a bikini for a shout-out let alone JP or any other athlete.

i don't think poole makes it in the NBA but of course i want him to prove me wrong. if anything, iggy has a better chance but poole suffers from the same general issues: poole is not exceptional at anything including shooting, slashing, rebounding, or play making and by NBA standards he's small. in the NBA you have to be elite at one or more of these things. i would guess he'll do fine in europe but not the NBA.
He will officially go down as one of my least favorite players of all-time.
The overall ignorance and arrogance of the decision is sad.
April 22nd, 2019 at 10:16 PM ^
Agreed. Kid is going to regret this for the rest of his life. Anyone remember Marcus Taylor?
April 22nd, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
I do, good player. Came in with the “2nd Fab Five” of Travis Conlan, Willie Mitchell, Jerod Ward and Maceo Baston. I seem to remember an issue with a flipped Ford Explorer... oh wait, that’s Maurice. I guess I don’t.
