May 29th is the date players must pull out of draft, if they wish to continue their college eligibility. You’re correct, but the question i answered was the amount of times that an athlete can declare for the draft and return to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he had no plans to re-classify Again, didn't he participate in the senior day festivities at his high school already? That would indicate he has plans to reclassify, but he just doesn't want everybody to know about it until it actually happens (if it does happen, of course).

College basketball players who request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, participate in the NBA combine and aren’t drafted can return to school as long as they notify their athletics director of their intent by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft. https://www.ncaa.org/about/flexibility-going-pro-and-getting-degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Loblaw 636 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I genuinely believe that he’s just waiting on the official word on if Jared returns or not. He’s coming to AU regardless. Whether it’s this year or next year just depends on Harper’s final decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually nobody is projecting him to be drafted, but what would you say are the chances of him simply signing with a team rather than coming back for his senior year? I would think that at this point, the only way he comes back is if no NBA team will sign him, because I doubt how well he will be able to improve his stock with another season in college. However, I have no read whatsoever on the pulse of NBA front offices, whether he stands a reasonable chance of signing when/if he goes undrafted or not. Honestly, at this point, I'd rather he not come back. That is in no way a reflection upon my feelings for Jared, because I love watching him (and will welcome him back with open arms should he opt to return), but rather hope that he'll get his shot in the League and an inclination that it's time to turn the page to Cooper at point.

Those that aren’t invited have to pull out before the draft. Harper and Brown were invited to the new G League Elite Camp which is held just prior to the NBA combine. This tells me that Harper is not coming back, and in one of the last reports...Harper and his people around him have said he has no intentions of returning to Auburn. They wouldn't put that out there, I feel, if he was leaving a return as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 All the talk about Harper - no way his stock can rise any more IMO. Look at the progress and maturity/ decision making he displayed the last 3 months of the season. For him it is time to leverage that into which ever league he can and make some coin. For him and Auburn of course, I hope it is the NBA and he does great things. With a Coach like Pearl, he will bring Harper back and that will help build the culture and program that Pearl has designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War to the Eagle 362 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 So have we pretty likely seen the end of any chance of Cooper re-classifying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Loblaw 636 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Tomorrow is the day that there will be absolute clarity on whether Harper is staying in the draft or not. We all assume he is but Tomorrow is the deadline. I expect we’ll start hearing more rumbling of Cooper reclassifying to start picking up again once Jared officially turns pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The answer, Cooper told reporters at a Nike Elite Youth Basketball League event in Atlanta this past Saturday, is no. “I haven’t really thought about reclassifying,” he said, according to The Athletic. “They’re just saying that because Jared left, I guess. But I’m not looking to reclassify.” Theres a reason that smoke ebbed out soon after this interview happened. I doubt much of it was founded on Sharife's preferences.
