Devo Davis just declared for the draft

Basketball Insider Board

He is maintaining his college eligibility:

#2

Hopefully this is just a fact finding mission. We definitely need him back. He IS Arkansas Basketball under Muss.

#3
#4

I told you guys he would. I will be surprised if he comes back.

#5

He will 100% come back. Book it.
He knows this is his team now, and he has zero percent to get drafted.

#6

Hope you are right. But I donā€™t feel good about it.

This year was his team too.

#7

He ainā€™t going anywhere.

Devo will gather the facts and make his own decision! Itā€™s my opinion he will be on the hill and playing as a Hog!

I hope he comes back but if his shot is anything as it was in the latter part of the season he has an nba role. His defense is enough for a non garennteed

#10

I hope you are right. I donā€™t see him being drafted. My fear is some team has whispered in his ear they will take him.

Jalen need to stay too.

#11

Devo has earned the right to test the waters here. I donā€™t want to wish a bad draft grade on anybody, but this team will need his leadership & grit next year. Good luck Devo whatever happens here. You are a legendary Hog.

NIL money will be his best option!

Thatā€™s us!!

#13

Does anyone know whether he graduates in May, or already has?

#14

If they give him a G-League grade, he can make that much in NIL right now. Probably already does.

Smartā€¦

Iā€™ve thought from the Kansas game that heā€™s done at Arkansas. Just a speculative thought. Should he do it, probably not. But that is the feeling I have.

What would another year change? Would he have the same role and would it help him?

#17

Jalen wonā€™t leave for pros. If he leaves, it would be because he is not a good fit for Muss. Could be a mutual decision, if there is one.

#18

Same money, but no school, no exams, just all basketball in pros. There is a difference. He looks more ready than Black.

But it really depends on whether he feels he is ready to be a pro. If he does, it is mentally difficult to go back to school. Unless someone puts up a huge NIL in front of him, then money changes everything.

I am not counting on him for next year.

#19

He might think heā€™s ready and the pre-draft process convinces him otherwise.

#20

Lot of smoke that he intends to leave. Things can change through this process, but seems to be the momentum right now.
