Everytime I think they have a chance to be good they lose somebody good. I'm sure Kabongo is next.
Who Big 12 teams are losing, returning, and adding
- Thread starter nallen34
- Start date
I think the more people that leave Texas the better chance that he declares. He doesn't want to come back and play on another losing team I'm sure.
I honestly think that if he comes back he could be a top 10 pick next year. Right now he is 21st on NBAdraft.net and 32nd on Chad Ford's draft projections. He just didn't do anything that impressive this year when he finally got into the lineup. I think if he has a whole off season to work with his team and then a whole year to play with his team, that he will be able to show why he is a top 10 pick.
I could definitely see him being the next to announce that he is leaving though.
Agree with everything said here. With that said though I just don't see him coming back. I doubt he wants to play for Texas again after such a disappointing season and wouldn't be surprised if he is tired of playing for Rick Barnes.
In case anyone missed a previous thread I posted, here is a detailed breakdown of what Iowa State loses, returns, and adds next season:

I just read today that if he transferred to another school from the same conference he would have to sit out 2 years.
according to this article it says 2 years:
Sheldon McClellan of Texas Longhorns asks for release, will transfer - ESPN
"Johnson said it's unlikely McClellan will end up at another Big 12 program because NCAA rules require players transferring to another school in the same conference to sit out two years."
I wonder when Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports is going to make his 2013 end of season transfer list. He did a mid season transfer list. He needs to get on it.

He's also the kind of player that hires an agent, declares, and then doesn't get drafted.
Sometimes in a situation like this - he may have a HS or AAU coach who is trying to leverage a comittment of a star player to land themselves a gig as an assistant on the new staff.
With 2 of the better Texas players leaving, perhaps they already know Kabongo is gone and just want out of that train wreck.
