Bub says he's coming back next year
- Thread starter Protes
- Start date
That would be better than a tourney birth. But I will believe it when I see it.
It's great that he says that now. It would be even better if he is still saying it in the middle of April.
If him and Lowe come back next year - they are an instant top 15 team and a favorite in the ACC. Those two young cats can ball. Just get one big who's not just taking up a spot...we're in business!
So was Steven Adams. He’d honestly be dumb not to test the waters
When the money shows, we have all seen how things shake out.
If NIL existed in 2013, Adams would have 100% come back.
He left because of financial hardship for his family.
A couple million in NIL $$$ and he would've been back.
Just pay up for bub, and he might stay.
Yeah, we can't take these heat of the moment declarations seriously anymore because they're proven wrong all the time.
If he and Lowe do come back, it would be coaching malpractice to not get them a legit 5. They might as well have been throwing those lobs to Fede into an active volcano.

Blair would've been like Bacot if NIL existed in 2009.
He would've been back if we could've gotten him a couple million $$$. And we would have.
LOL
No he wasnt. Steve Adams hated Pitt and hated Dixon and openly said so.
He would have come back to Pitt for some NIL money instead of becoming an NBA lottery pick?
Yeah, sure.
False
Adams would've come back if NIL existed in 2013.
He left 100% because of financial hardship.
So he would have solved his financial hardship by staying at Pitt for a couple hundred thousand instead of going to the NBA for a couple million?
Actually, I kept telling people on this board that he was leaving because he was going to be a lottery pick, and a whole bunch of people here thought I was nuts.
Well, OK, maybe I am nuts. But way more people here thought he was coming back than thought he was going to the NBA at the end of his freshman year.
And that would’ve been a dumb decision costing him millions on the back end of his career for a season. He should test, didn’t say he should go
I think as much as all of that might be true I think he hated academics the most and they still kinda made them do that back then
Pitt's Steven Adams says he won't enter NBA draft
Pittsburgh Panthers freshman Steven Adams won't get a chance to improve his NBA draft stock this year, and he says he plans to return for his sophomore season.

Instead of getting to the 2nd and 3rd contracts in the NBA earlier… lol
Bub will get 7 figures in NIL if he comes back next year.
It is a different reality now.
Pitt was an elite program getting 12500 every game and about to enter the ACC. Adams would've gotten 7 figures.
LOL. He said he was coming back and openly said so. He only said the other stuff way after the season.
His first year of his second contract was for $22.4 million as opposed to the $3.1 million he made on the last year of his rookie deal.
So clearly no problem at all waiting an extra year, when it's only going to cost you $19 million in the long run.
And no one is saying Bub should go, at least I’m not. I’m saying he should test
I would think that everyone who thinks they have a realistic chance should at least go through the process. If nothing else, you can get some NBA scouts and personnel people to tell you what you need to work on.
I think he is too. Did you see Lowe’s face in the background when they asked if he’d be back?
How can the NBA not want RJ Davis who seems like he has been in college for 6 years, but the NBA wants Carrington after one year?
Maybe the selection committee at Pitt will put Dior Johnson back on the roster next season. Too bad so many skinny tall dudes seem to have gamed the system.
One thing in Carrington's favor is that he is a lot bigger. Davis is a small guard, and in the NBA right now they love big guards.
I think Lowe may declare and test the process. I wouldn’t bet on it but he's projected 1st Round on 2025 so why not
