Question About Rozier

[shadow force]

What other UofL players have left for the NBA draft after their sophomore season? I know Terry is sort of unique- to UofL- in that regard.

Samuels is the only one I can think of.

Remember, Rozier is a Junior agewise. He committed to UL, but then went to prep school for a year in order to get his grades together.

Oh yeah I almost forgot about Samuels. He did leave after his soph season but didn't actually go in the draft, I think.

That's a good point.

Yeah, Samuels went undrafted but played his way onto the Cavs roster. He even started a few games, he produced at times. But they let him go and no offers came his way. I thought he had a shot to be a rotation guy.

Samaki Walker left after his sophomore season.

That's right. Samaki did leave after his soph season.

I believe that was a surprise to everyone including Coach Crum.

Hate to say it. Everything was a surprise to Crum toward the end, remember the 3-point shot!

How about Jason Osborn? I seem to remember him leaving early and then never hearing about him again.

Former UofL basketball star Jason Osborne has kept busy since retiring his uniform after the 95-96 season. Osborne has enjoyed a long professional career spending time in Argentina, Puerto Rico, Italy, and the Kentucky Pro Am.

I believe Jason became academically ineligible, and didn't have a choice but to leave.
