While speaking to some students at Conkwright Middle School, Brandon Knight suggested that he was still up in the air over whether to return to school or stay in the draft. While this may be true, I highly doubt it.
You must take into consideration that Brandon was speaking to middle school kids about the importance of an education, all while they were chanting "one more year". He is not going to stand there listening to that kind of chant from KIDS and Kentucky fans and say he is not coming back. Not saying he was lying, he very well may be up in the air but Knight is known for his I.Q. and anyone with a high I.Q. knowing they would be a top 5 pick in the draft (as most experts are saying) would be foolish to return to school. No way his stock gets any higher next year. As a matter of fact, his stock very well may drop. For one reason Marquis Teague will be the starting point guard next year moving Knight to the two guard and taking the ball put of his hands. And two, the draft next year will be loaded as the guys who came back this year will enter next year, not to mention the monster freshman class next year that will enter early. So it would be in his best interest and a smart business decision to go now, and Brandon knows this.
Could he come back? Sure. Is it likely? No. I would love to have him back next season, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
