IU Scott Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Knew it was probably going to happen but still a little disappointed. I had heard at one time he was coming back and getting surgery on his thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props to him for not just shutting it down in November though, kid’s got guts. He’ll be just fine in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierKix Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Not to get hopes up but I don’t see a report to where he has signed an agent at all, anyone see any report on if he has or plans to at this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Eric Gordon II. Well, we knew he was more likely than not to go, but still can't help being just a little disappointed for him even though you can't fault the decision. There really is no right or wrong decision here...someone will always second-guess you no matter what you choose, but agree...I hope we can appreciate the time he spent in Bloomington and not go all sour grapes about this decision on social media, like some of the nutty fringe in our fanbase undoubtedly will do. Now...there are three available roster spots. No need to fill them all, but I'd take a shooter and a banger anyway.

I wouldn't get your hopes up unless he really gets bad news on his draft stock. Right now, he looks low lottery. I don't see him not punching that ticket based on what he's said.

He gutted through an injury that required surgery when he could have just shut it down immediately, and still had a pretty darn good season.

He's gone, and I think the indicator is the thumb surgery. He wouldn't be going forward with the thumb surgery if feedback from teams/workouts had any chance of causing him to come back. The surgery basically says, "I'm going to the NBA and not worried about team workouts, etc.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the article his statements about wanting to enjoy the college experience with his teammates pretty much indicate he is gone no matter what, IMO.

Zuckerkorn Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I hope he does well in the NBA and gets drafted as high as possible. If he was coming out anyway, the thumb injury revelation might actually help his draft stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I hope so. Archie doesn't need (more) uncertainty while evaluating possible transfers or late recruits for next season. I suspect Romeo has conveyed his full intentions to the staff.
