I am really starting to think that Wilson and Wagner are probably gone though, if I had to wager.

Both would be best served for their stock to come back another year. Wilson might be a 1st rounder but might not so it would only make sense to leave if he gets a guarantee. Wagner is going in the mid to late second round.

silence. Both have commented to the press. And I'm not sure what taste they got. By all accounts I've read Wagner did not do well in the 5 on 5s and Wilson was not happy he couldn't participate.

The deadline for withdrawal is tomorrow, so we still have another day to sit on our hands and wait unfortunately. I will say, however, that the silence doesn't exactly instill any confidence that they will return, though I would like my intuition on this one to be total crap and it turns out that they do. We shall see. Clearly, if Wednesday comes and goes and there is nothing, there's the answer.

What do you want them to say that would help the situation?

If someone stuck a microphone in their face, they would say the following: "I am going to use the full amount of time to make my decision."

In my heart, I HONESTLY believe they still aren't sure yet.

It's a tough decision with a lack of good information from their standpoint.  They're likely waiting until the 11th hour to see if any NBA teams come forward with white knight offers.  It's highly likely both have a "pre-decison" in mind but are not willing to go public with it.  That's perfectly fine.  Your supposition that they have "gotten a taste of pro ball" and it has somehow made them decide to go pro is illogical by itself.  Let's just see what happens.

I think it is substantially more illogical to not assume that neither of them saying a word about returning at this point doesn't indicate at all that they are staying in. I think the signs at this point are pointing toward them leaving. Not saying they shouldn't, just saying that there has been no talk, no news conference scheduled, nothing. I think there are certainly indicators that they are leaving at this point.

Isn't the deadline to announce tonight, or is it tomorrow? I feel like they truly can't decide. If they really knew, one way or the other, I'd assume they would have gone ahead and announced. Hopefully things turn up Michigan's way.
