It is great news all around and I wish Osun all the best as he goes through the process. IMO it’s the best case scenario! he gets a look, and if the scouts fall in love with him, we have another Bonnie in the league. If they say not yet, he comes back and dominates the paint at the RC for another year. Either way Osun is the man I find it hard to believe they have not done an NBA evaluation yet, they come out with these reports that assess your likelihood of being drafted all the time, and the they are not hard to get. I would assume OO would not be. This dangling stuff hurts the team from bringing in new players and has already cost us one big. While OO is the one guy I preferred to have back because he can be the defensive backbone of a new D, he personally needs to improve his offensive game and his strength. He was exposed against Xavier, and given he is 22 or 23, he is probably not growing anymore, but needs to fill out before being strong enough to deal with strong NBA players and long schedules. I think it is a win win for him coming back, so I hope that decision is made now and the staff can move on recruiting. 21/22. He will be 22/23 next year. It is not just about being evaluated, but participating in events/workouts that help you gain exposure (and feedback), measure your readiness, and learn what you need to work on. Smart move, and nothing different from many players in similar situations.

Smart move on Shoon's part. Leaves the door open to return to the Bonnies as long as he does not sign with an agent in the interim.

I originally voted that two players will return. The more time that passes, the more I think that number could be 3 or 4.

I believe Shoon could still transfer after May 1, so long as he graduates and the new school has a graduate degree that Bona does not offer.
Regardless of all else — hate to go millennial on everyone, but anyone have any updates on the other 3? Or when to expect them? It’s been nearly 2 weeks. Trying to be patient. Big decision for them, obviously. I’m not trying to downplay it. But portal movement should be at its highest this week and next. I assume Schmidt probably knows who is coming back or not. Hope that’s the case.
