An academic all american with a 3.7 GPA doesn't like going to class? Besides, he just has one left to graduate.

Potential NCAA team with Semi next year or NIT without him?

How could you possibly have any clue with six new players?? But what do you think about attendance before the tip?

We have a tougher schedule next year and our conference should be better so I don't think we are a 30 win team no matter what. That said, if the freshmen are decent I think any team with shake and foster on it is good enough to make the tournament.

I love what he's done for us. If he goes I'll support him, even if it means buying a Spurs jersey with his name/number.

Will support him either way. If it were me, I'd leave at the drop of a hat and never look back. but I hope he comes back.

He has his degree and the issues he has that will prevent him from being a first round pick are not things he can work on. Also, in the NBA now, being older works against you getting drafted. He gone.

A lot of players haven't declared yet so Semi will get pushed back more and more.

I guess you didn't watch the AAC tourney. If you did, you would have watched Semi's interview with Doris Burke when he explicitly stated he doesn't like going to class.

MFFL I like your takes on stuff.

On this point though, 90% of student's anywhere don't "like" going to class. Even more true for student-athletes, they want to play ball. That being said, if you have a 3.7 GPA and come from a family were education is highly valued he isn't going to leave because he "doesnt like going to class". He isn't a kid who hates school. Semi might go pro, plenty of well informed people think he could be back, some think he will go. It is tough to know what he will do right now, because I doubt he knows. But he isn't going to leave just because he doesn't like going to class.

He has basically graduated at this point, so even if he comes from a family that cares about education, he's basically graduated.
