...including the walk-ons. But they all will be able to return if they choose to do so (within 10 days of declaring).

Just wild how often he goes all-in with regards to the NBA players and the draft.
It made me think of 2010 when, after 5 Wildcats were taken in the first round of the NBA draft, he said it was "the biggest day in the history of Kentucky's program." See here: espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation...parks-minor-backlash

Clarification
........................................
Prospects who have not hired agents will now have until 10 days after the NBA Draft combine to remove their name from draft consideration and maintain their eligibility.
NBA Draft combine: May 11-15 2016 in Chicago.
Early-entry date: May 25.
Prospects are allowed to attend the combine IF INVITED (it is by invite only - HE).
Prospects can also go through one NBA team workout before making their decision.
Prospects can declare as many times as they want (after Yr1, Yr 2 or Yr 3) and return as long as they meet the timing requirements and do not hire agents.
........................................
As to squid -- he's a slimy snake oil salesman, doing nothing at all for *college* basketball or the majority of the kids that make his success possible. If his kids don't get combine invitations and can't get a team workout, will he welcome them back? I would not be surprised if most of them are back in school, even with the lower expectations with this draft.
What a waste of their time and the NBA's money.
Maybe this is the way the NCAA hopes to bring the NBA to working out at least a two year stay if they choose college (age 20 instead of 19) instead of the current rules?

just sayin. You have kids here who are genuinely upset when they know they need to leave but don't want to. Just wondering how many UK kids move back to be near their alma mater compared to how many KU players return to Lawrence.
Somebody needs to track that stat.
