Dejaun Wagner

All this kid does is stip up emotions. Personally i love to watch and cheer for him. He is the best frosh in the land. Is going pro or isn't he? Is he good enough to go pro? Of coarse he is. Would he benefit from another year or two of college? what if Kobe, KG, Miles, kwame, curry these kids attended college for at least two years to beef up and polish their skills? Would they be a better pro? Would they be like battier, shaq, and jordan? Back to Dejaun, mock drafts have him going from 3 to eight. I think he leaves, personally, for the $ and takes his dad with him. I also think the tigers should have made the ncaas. mabeye i'm a little biased, but i would love to hear what you guys think.

yes, he should stay.... why? 'cause by dammit, the tigers need him.... and because he needs to improve his "mental game" before heading off to the pros....

will he stay? no, probably not.... all that $$$ is too tempting for someone of his age...or hell, any age for that matter.... he probably won't take a chance on blowing out a knee or something.

should the tigers have made the big dance? HELL YEAH!!!! ...i don't know what the dam committee was thinking.... they shouldda been there, even though they probably wouldn't have reached the Sweet 16. :shrug:

...but like you, I am about as biased as one can be....

Memphis didn't make the tourney because they didn't beat anybody. No wins in the RPI Top 50. Not good.

Wagner will more than likely leave, but he needs at least another year to polish his ballhandling and passing skills...he is going to have to learn how to run the point if he wants to have a successful NBA career, not to mention work on his jumper..too erratic of a shooter at this point...40% FG, 30% from 3pt land..not very good. I was more impressed with TJ Ford and Ben Gordon as frosh this year than Wagner.

I would agree Hoops... Nevertheless you guys watch him tonight and tell me what you think. Three players on this tiger team will be in the NBA: Wise, Wagner, and earl "the pearl" Barron

I may be wrong (well, hell, probably), but I thought I heard that Wagner's got this big insurance policy in case he gets injured and can't go pro. Maybe like a mill or two. If this is the case, I think he'll stay, especially with his dad on staff.
