Landers Nolley II

[Lobot]

If I recall correctly, Logan was the number one pick in the second round and hardly make a dent. I saw some interviews with him and he is a class act but a second round does not mean anything.

If memory serves, Logan and his agent held out for a guaranteed contract from the Warriors and didn't get it. The whole thing soured his relationship with teams and he went unsigned.

I guess Landers decided not to play in the PIT . He's not in the stats or rosters anymore.

All of these guys are absolutely draftable in the 2nd round.

Here's William's article on it: ($)

Good luck to Landers -- as Justin Williams said: "The good news for the #Bearcats is that Nolley making an early decision to stay in the NBA Draft gives Cincinnati ample opportunity to find a replacement (or multiple) in the portal as opposed to him holding out until closer to the withdrawal deadline with less options available."

That will free up some NIL money. See how quickly that dilemma was solved!

As I recall, if the agent is certified by the NCAA, he still has the option to return. I don't remember the deadline to return to school, but if he doesn't shine at Portsmouth might he still return. I don't think he will, but a little clarity would help.

Based on this, he’s not coming back.

Best of luck to Nolley in the draft and thanks for his contributions to Bearcat basketball. Time to move on and fill the open spots with some of the contacts they've made in the portal. I'm anxiously awaiting the news of a key signing that can fill the void.

Landers has announced that he is signing with an agent and staying in the draft.

I hope Landers gets a good evaluation. He can be a great player, though not sure he's shown it consistently enough. If he stays in the draft, I hope it means first round. He's got that 1st round talent, but may learn what he needs to show scouts for next year. Eitherway, let's wish what is best for Landers, not us as fans.

My understanding is that if you do not obtain an agent, then you can come back. Either way, I think that he is gone.

I think you can come back if you hire a NCAA certified agent. I’m not sure how agents get certified, but I’m pretty sure some guys did that in the past. I believe Jarron Cumberland did that, then returned.

[Lobot]

I’m looking at the PIT website and it says nothing about certification either way. It’s not directly NBA affiliated but that may not mean anything. It’s only open to seniors in good academic standing.
