Good luck to the young man. Hope it works out for him. I enjoyed watching him play at TCU. I would be even more excited for him if I knew he got his degree?
It truly boggles my mind how some of these basketball players think they are good enough for and or ready for the pros. Considering the college player to successful pro ratio and the astronomical failure rate (insofar as making the NBA) I just will never understand their thought process.
I agree with the comment as an overall perspective and not just Bane's case. With the NBA rules I think every junior should see what their grade is. It allows them to see what they really need to improve on from other people that aren't your coaches. Now if he goes to Europe to play, my tune will change completely.I’m not sure this is a fair comment in Desmond’s case. I agree that leaving school right now would be a bad idea for him but my take on his announcement was him simply saying “I’m gonna see what these people think and I’ll be back at TCU next fall if they don’t think I’m ready”.
Bane liked this tweet so it would not surprise me if this doesn’t have at least something to do with it if he does decide to play in the G League or Europe

If we got a Bid to both NIT and NCAA next year, TCU would accept NIT! By golly pip pip doodly do! Our brother and savior Dixon has returned for another chance to get us back to the promised land in MSG! Shove a cattle prod in my ass!He is not hiring an agent. I personally guarantee you all he is back in purple next winter for another run at the NIT.

It wouldn’t matter if he did hire an agent. You can work with one starting this year and still go back to school.
The one issue this does create is with roster spot allocation. I think it’s safe to assume Bane will be back next year, but he doesn’t have to decide until late May. By then, most of the better grad transfers will have found a home.
I’d put the odds at something like 80% Bane comes back. But if he does decide to leave, I hope he gives the staff some advance warning so they can plan accordingly.
