Look like this kid is trying to get back to school. What a shame.

KENTUCKY: Randolph Morris, who declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft but wasn't selected, could return to play basketball at Kentucky thanks to a little-used NCAA eligibility rule.
Morris, who gave up his remaining three seasons of college eligibility, could get those seasons back if he pays for all the expenses of any NBA workouts in which he participated, he sends a letter to Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart within 30 days of the draft asking for reinstatement and the school agrees to take him back.
The rule could be applied only if Morris did not hire an agent. It was unclear Thursday whether he had. SFX, a sports agency, released a statement from Morris on June 21 about his intentions to remain in the draft. But Morris' father, Ralph, said that as of Monday, his son had not hired an agent.

I saw somewhere that Denver invited him to their Camp. Denver already has Luke Schenscher in their Summer League roster.

If they let him back I'm sure he could get a loan to pay the expenses...

Wow! Very difficult situation for him. Amazing he wasn't selected in the 2nd round. I hoped we would get him to the summer league squad. Denver looked for nice players..

I like Morris, I think he has the makings of a good NBA center but who are the people that are telling these kids to go pro. Before the draft, I stated a few times on this board that I wanted the Knicks to take a look at Morris with the #30 pick. I guess theres something out there that teams saw or didn't see from Randolph.. it really makes you wonder whose whispering in these kids ears.

Phoenix Suns also has a nice assembly for the Summer League

Lucas Tischer and Mindaugus Katelynas are on their roster, both undrafted. Man, they just keep collecting guys that can run and jump.

Nate Robinson sure would have looked good as the backup PG on that team, especially allowing the aging Nash to play slightly fewer minutes!

So... what happens if he goes back to the school and is awesome? Can he be drafted again?

Everything I read on him said he should've stayed in school. Guess he had to learn the hard way. Hope everything works out well for him.
