Semi to sign with an agent

[Mustangs35SMU]

Sucks. But best of luck to him!

Looks like the stats are updated. His standing vertical is 35 and his max vertical leap is 40.5

He has the 3rd fastest lane agility time and one of the top 5 percent in Shuttle run and three quarter sprint--all great especially for his position.

So it changed from one of the worst verticals to top 5. Wonder if he had another try or if it was misreported?

Stop, this reminds me of the UCLA goal-tending call

The basketball rim in Tulsa called in and demanded an official independent counsel look into the matter.

Best of luck to Semi. He was great in his year here.

Semi is a Margus Hunt right now. Great measurable and athleticism for a 3. He is built like a tank and can shoot. Game awareness isn't quite there because of his lake of time in the college game, and his defense,, handle, and low post game aren't where they should be. But someone will take him late first. Warriors would be an interesting fit, but I'm not sure he can handle the ball and pass the ball well enough for that system or the Spurs system. He needs playing time and practice time, which doesn't happen in the NBA with a compressed schedule, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the D league most of year 1.

Still think Sterling gets picked up in the second round. He is a great fit for the spurs as a 2/3 hybrid.

Moore will run in the summer league as a free agent. His all around game is so good, I think he will land on a roster somewhere. Otherwise, his passing ability is very well suited for the Euro game and I could see him doing very, very well over there.

Semi must of done something wrong the first day when he had terrible standing vertical and didn't do the max vertical. Because now his vert numbers are real solid.

I knew something was off with his first jump as we've seen all year that he nearly gets his head above the rim.

Take that for data.

First vertical may have been a typo and was corrected from 25 to 35.

Either that or Jank was holding onto his shorts.

From ESPN Insider, Chard Ford:

"2. The All-Go-Back-To-School Team

Now for the bad news. Despite the great play of a number of prospects here, there just aren't a lot of spots open in the first round. By my count, 35 NCAA players that were invited to the combine didn't even play in the 5-on-5s. They didn't play because they believe that they are likely first-rounders (and a few were injured). Most of them are probably right. Add in another three or four international players and things get crowded.

For some players (and especially some agents), that's not a huge issue. In fact, many agents believe there are advantages to sliding into the second round. Players are no longer tied to the rookie scale. Agents can negotiate whatever deal they want for their players. Players taken in the early 30s can have an advantage over players taken in the 20s (sometimes).

However, slide out of the 30s and the odds are no longer in your favor. That math will be especially troublesome for a number of underclassmen who are testing the draft waters.

Many of the undecided underclassmen remaining in the combine need to strongly consider returning to school. The chances that they will be first-round picks are almost zero, and the chances that they go in the first 10 picks of the second round also look very small.

So who's on the All-Go-Back-To-School Team?

Michigan's Moritz Wagner and D.J. Wilson, Texas' Andrew Jones, SMU's Semi Ojeleye, Purdue's Caleb Swanigan, Maryland's Justin Jackson and Arizona's Rawle Alkins all are in serious risk of not getting drafted in the first round if they stay in the draft. Perhaps one or two make the cut, but most of them are looking firmly at the second round at this point. None of them did enough this week to really push them over the top."

Do we know for a fact that he has actually signed? I wonder if he put the word out through other channels to get a reaction.
