More on Thaddeus Young...

..... from "Galilee" on the Hive, who happens to be Thad's pastor and one of his advisers, about his entering his name in the draft:

He decided this on Friday night. I wanted to post it but we agreed to allow a formal announcement. If he is a lottery pick he is gone (I see no chance of that). If he is a top 20 50/50. Anything beyond that he will return unless he gets a great shoe deal also. His heart is with GT but he wants to find out his value. Lets just be patient and see what happens. For the poster who stated that he was not truthful with me you are so wrong. Thad has not left GT, he is still attending classes and doing the indiv. workouts.

When you think about it, Thad is doing the right thing. Do you really think he intended to be here more than 2 years? So he's basically using his "get out of jail free" card this year to test the waters................. Also FYI, I don't know the exact stats, but more than 50% of players who entered their name into the draft last season and did not retain an agent, returned to school.

So this thing's far from over.............
