FYI, you inadvertanly said "championship"...

Um, you inadvertently put inadvertanly.

And if you don't think that team can win a Big12 Championship, you are seriously mistaken

- I'll take "Playing Basketball in Greece in 2013" for $500 Alex

- University of Texas Guard

- Who is J'Covan Brown

Has he graduated yet or will he graduate this semester???

If feel if he goes pro then he goes, he will have Mclendon and Lewis both good scorers back. I look at it this way, he has spent more time here at Texas then a lot of players have and he has done a lot more...

Sure they "can". But Barnes has only 3 in his time here. If his best player leaves or if they don't its much more likely Bill Self will continue to own the big12 and Barnes.

Maybe that was his way of reiterating that. If he was going into the draft I don't think he'd waste his time with class right.

I don't know what he's going to do and I wouldn't be shocked whatever his decision was; I'm just hoping the scouts watched his game today and tell him to come back.

Even Kevin Durant finished his work.

From the beginning of the season, Gerry said they were recruiting as if Kabongo would be leaving. So I guess they're "prepared."

I agree with this. Michael Kidd Gilchrist said last week he will graduate from Kentucky before going pro.... ya right (projected top 3 pick). I'm hoping he comes back and that's all we can do so I'll leave it at that.

fwiw Chad Ford wrote this on Mar. 9th:
"Kabongo came into the season hyped as, potentially, the best point guard in his freshman class. For the most part he struggled, particularly with his shot and with making a difference on the floor. Kabongo is a talent ... but he's a talent that really needs to stay in school one more year."
He also moved Myck out of the first round in his latest update to 33 and the 5th ranked pg.

Now I'll take that with a grain a salt as that sounds really familiar to what he said about cojo last year and we all know what he did.

I want believe anything until they deadline is past... Remember last year joesph, Thompson and Hamilton said they were going to stay..... Can't fool me twice

J'Covan should leave. There isn't anymore Barnes can teach him. He has the drill down. I personally think he should leave. Hopefully he will land somewhere where they have a need for his type of game. He is good. Give him some credit here. If it wasn't for him, I doubt very seriously Texas would have made it into the tournament.

If Kabongo goes, so be it. For someone so highly ranked he has left me wondering just how he was ranked so high I am not being mean here, but honest to goodness his errrors and bad judgement during the course of this year are amazing for someone so well thought of in the basketball ranks.

He definitely needs to stay and learn. If he stays another year, possibly we might see what all the talk about him was in the first place As of this writing, I just don't see the "greatness" being thrown at him.

I can't believe people are saying we would be better without Ja'coven Brown next year. This guy is the reason we made it to the tourney and won twenty games. If he's not going pro or resorting to playing the d league or European league I think it might actually behoove him to go ahead and finish his degree. I am rooting for him to shock people and actually stay in school for a change.

As opposed to staying another year, risking injury, not gaining any draft status and still being a 2nd rounder?

I would think him slightly foolish if he stayed.
