Andy Katz: Damion James May Stay

PrintAccording to ESPN's Andy Katz:
James remains on the bubble as to whether he will stay in the draft. He's considered a borderline first-round pick. He said if he can't get a guarantee in the first round, he'll "probably go back to school."
"We can have a great team with Avery Bradley coming in, Dexter Pittman, Justin Mason, Jai Lucas as a transfer and everyone else," James said. "We can have a great team next year." But in the same breath, James said he is ready for the NBA because "I think I can take my game to another level."
Trips has written a number of great pieces on why Damion coming back would be so helpful to the team and Damion's 2011 draft status. Damion is an outstanding rebounder, he can take opposing power forwards out to the three point line, and playing him alongside Hamilton and Bradley's movement and crashing opposite Dexter will mean a lot of gimme dunks.
Damion has also been going to class, so he's not going to have his hand forced.

I remember being shocked when Damion ended up at Texas. Here’s hoping he bookends his career with another choice to spend time in Austin.

Nick-was this featured in the ESPN magazine because I have not read a newspaper in over 8 months. I obtain all of my news off of the Internet. I do read ESPN mag (because someone out there was kind-hearted enough to send me a gift subscription). I did not see this article, however. I would like to read the original article if there is one. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Easy now, big fish-its just an expression! Not everyone speaks English the same exact way. You should know better. In any event, Scipio, I would like to read the article. Can I locate it on the Internet?

You call everyone Nick? OK, Clarence.
I linked to the article. It’s that glowy orange bolded thing that you click on.

Someone who runs a theoretical mathematics-oriented Bed & Breakfast called the Inn Finity 8?

“The elder Brown said his son is still waiting on his final clearance from the NCAA, but he called it a “formality.”
“He is waiting for the clearance from the NCAA,” the elder Brown said. "You have to pass through the NCAA Clearinghouse.
“It’s a formality.”
Uh huh.
