Following potential 2014 draftees

[darthlarryboy]

Anybody Know the salary differnce between 1st and 5th pick? Would it make financial sense for 1 or two of these guys to wait.

Good enough.

I've heard rumblings that his wrist injury was worse than people let on, and he wouldn't have been able to participate in pre-draft workouts.

Doesn't matter, at all. He still would have gone top 3.. 5 at the worst.

What if he underwent wrist removal surgery the night before the draft? Where would he have fallen to then?

The wrist removal hospital?

Sorry - I wrote that post extremely quickly and didn't make myself clear. I've heard rumblings - from a somewhat reliable Big 12 hoops source - is that there was growing concern about his wrist injury being a chronic issue and that he would likely be red-flagged because of it. So, a different situation than someone like Noel who all 30 teams are confident will recover fully from the ACL. Don't know any specifics beyond that.

When Smart drops out of the top 10 because he is constantly in foul trouble and he doesn't show a lot f improvement he will be kicking himself for not declaring. Also see Sullinger, Jared; Mitchell, Tony.

A lot of mocks still have him as a top 5 pick. I doubt he would go back and not work hard to get better. He has a lot of room for improvement, I think he is still a lock for top 10.

Id say ur right.. but here's the ifs.

If he would have gone top 5 last year, there is no situation that makes sense to skip the draft.

Ford talking about Smart...

"I've never been around another player in my whole life -- not when I was a player and not since I've been a coach -- that is able to bring it EVERY SINGLE DAY," Ford said. "I don't care if it's two-a-days, three-a-days or five-a-days. I don't care if it's 6 a.m. I don't care if it's the day after a big win. It's ridiculous. I knew he was a great leader, but it's even been a shock to me. Everybody, at some point, has a bad day in terms of coming ready to play. But he never takes a day off. He comes everyday to win every drill. Everyday. Every drill. I don't care when it is or what it is. Everyday he's ready. It's ridiculous."

Chad Ford played basketball?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Google'd Chad Ford, had no idea he was Mormon.

 

[UGLI baby]

Chad Ford played basketball?

My first reaction too.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Mormon? Basketball?

Must have been church league, obvi.

 

[Stifle Tower]

But did Chad Ford play football?
