I agree with you Rebel but boy am I salivating over that front line if he stays.

Does need to listen to SMU fans bash him if he does not make the grades. Most SMU fans want him back selfishly so that SMU can have a better chance at making a run in the NCAA tournament but they are masking it behind statements like he could have another year to better his skills. I just hope he has a strong rest of this year.

I like MK, but I think he has close to 0% chance of being drafted in the NBA after this year. As has been pointed out, his resume is thin.

In Europe, he probably has a decent chance.

Not a rumor, conjecture. But probably pretty smart conjecture assuming he continued to have eligibility issues.

But he is eligible now, so why the conjecture? The class at issue was from two years ago.

Because of the escalating "on track to graduate" requirements over the course of 4 years. Some have ventured that he may run into issues next season when the gpa requirement is higher. If this were the case then he should leave. I just hope he is in a position to leave when he is ready, not when he has no other option.

the increased standards from 3rd to 4th year require .1% higher GPA and additional 24 more hours of credits during the year but I believe they will all have to be in his major now which will likely be the big hurdle if he is still a History major. Actually I think there is no increased GPA requirement because since he was a transfer he may be considered entering his 5th year not 4th year and GPA requirement is 2.0 GPA for both

He would be considered entering his 5th year

If he eventually wants to go into coaching he will need a degree.

If he wants to get into pro ball, he'll have to improve a lot more at the collegiate level. I don't see him making it without playing here next year, especially after what I saw tonight.

Note-he made about 3 straight mistakes at the end of his longest continuous playing stint of the season. Could be conditioning
