Uzan: Declares for the draft, has until May 28th to decide to return

I’ll respond for ND9, cause he’s clearly into it

Lame post man. Milos crushed it for us last year. I think he exceeded most peoples expectations of what he would be when transferred here. As others have said, no way we’re in the title game without him. If he’s leaving, then he’s leaving as a Cougar legend.

I’ve clicked on his username to try and block him but I do not see HOW. Please help somebody.

Guy. Sampson told him to go through the draft process. You are making yourself look like a fool.

1. Milos Uzan, Houston

Bart Torvik rank with Uzan: 1
Bart Torvik rank without: 1 (incredibly)

Though most of the Houston headlines all season went to LJ Cryer, Emanuel Sharp and J’Wan Roberts, Uzan was the secret engine to a Cougars squad that came within a possession of a national championship. Taking over at point guard for program legend Jamal Shead, the Oklahoma transfer got off to a slow start, but his steady improvement — particularly as a potent offensive threat — mirrored the trajectory of Houston as a whole. Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson reiterated that point after Uzan’s game-winning layup against Purdue in the Sweet 16.

With Uzan back in the fold to join Sharp, defensive player of the year candidate JoJo Tugler and a loaded recruiting class, Houston would be a no-doubt top-five team in preseason rankings (and very arguably the No. 1 squad). Without him, though, Houston would need a serious lift from incoming transfer Pop Isaacs, as Uzan’s shot creation — not to mention his smothering defensive presence on the perimeter — would be sorely missed. That would still be a top 10 or so team but with enough questions to perhaps fall below the top tier of contenders.

I want Uzan to do what’s best for him. And I want what’s best for him to be to come back!

The Athletic updated their draft rankings yesterday and had Milos at #40.

If Milos is a projected high 2nd round pick after the draft combine workouts, does he stay in the Draft?

If Milos goes anywhere in the draft up to around the 40th pick he’s gone. What if he comes back and he gets hurt?

If you are a 2nd round grade, then chances are you will be spending time in the G-League on a 2-way contract and they don’t pay much.

Heck even a top 10 pick Reed Sheppard on the Rockets was in the G-league for a good amount of time this season.

Reid Sheppard played 3 games in the G-League. Averaged 30.7 points in those 3 games.

I want him to return because he didn’t show up to the FINAL FOUR. Let’s make it back with him showing up and showing out!

Thanks, Hill. I forgot about the SECOND name click. He now joins “pearland”.

Good for Milos to test the draft. He is going to know no matter what where he is really at. Second round projection? Selfishly I want him to come back for another year under CKS tutelage. IMO he still has a way to go. His Final Four reflected that.

Grimes and Sasser tested the waters early and came back. They were both rewarded for their patience after stellar senior seasons.

Selfishly I’d love to see Uzan return, win a championship and be rewarded with a high first round pick.

Grimes left after Junior year and Sasser only came back because of his injury limiting him in the evaluation period.
