Wigginton declaring for NBA Draft, not hiring agent

[cmjh10]

Also, you guys are telling me that if your dream job/goal suddenly became an option, you wouldnt at least loom into it? Lindell has to make the best decision for HIM and HIS FAMILY. Not a bunch of anonymous middle aged men you apparently have worries about being premature.

Woh now, getting a little personal aren't we?

Did he even go to class 2nd semester? I never heard anyone say he was even on campus after the season ended. If I'm wrong -- EDIT: and apparently I am -- I apologize.

If he didn't this thread is moot.

It amazes me the amount of fans who post on here who are truly uninformed with certain things.

Doesn't amaze me at all.

If you think it's bad on here, don't get on Twitter. It's 1000 times worse there.

Twitter is the 1,000 miles of salt wasteland that Max refers to near the end of Fury Road.

There must be some workaround or schedule juggling that allowed for it. If he knew that testing the waters would ultimately make him academically ineligible then he would have just hired an agent and gone all in right from the jump.

There are always workarounds.

I'm 95% sure he's coming back. Everything I have seen and heard points to him being a Cyclone again next season.

Okay people, this is a joke referring to an old post(er).

Unless he is still working out with teams today, surprises me he waits until tomorrow.

I am always curious about when a player decides to opt out of school and hire themselves an agent at the deadline... What more could an agent do from that point? Isn't the agent's main goal to market their client to teams and workouts? If a player opts to hire an agent with a month out, it seems like their main tasks are no longer available (besides structuring of contract).

The main task at that point would be selling the client to a team in order to get them drafted (in other words the exact opposite that Lazzard's agent did for him).

For an athlete in Lindell's situation, does the player have to pay his own way for travel/lodging at all these private workouts, or are they able to accept that from the NBA team?

Why? Frankly, it seems surprising to me he’d wait so long because it seems clear that he won’t get drafted. But if he’s made it this far, it’s not shocking he’d wait until tomorrow.

I think this was answered earlier, and teams apparently can pay for them.

Thanks - I think I might have actually asked previously, but don't remember getting a notification of being answered.

I went back and looked for comparison and Iowa had a press release out the same day as the news broke about Cook declaring without an agent. I do think the way this has all went down can be categorized as a little odd.

Agree
