I mean, without the kind of dick-ish tone, yes if this is all his "decision" was, he'll be back.Good luck, hope Tyler learns a lot through the experience.
See ya at practice in the Fall.

Sorry, misread your tone due to the brevity of your post. No he's not ready... I took your post as snark. My bad.No dick-ish tone intended. This will be a good experience for him, no doubt about it.
But I think we'd all be surprised if they told him he was NBA ready.
I'm glad this came out too. He didn't really quash the transfer rumor, he just said not Missouri and there was still G league discussion. This appears to remove all doubt that he'll be back.He's legit testing the NBA waters, and I am glad this came out so quickly to help squash the rumors of a transfer, even tho he did that on his own through a tweet. Honestly, this is best news Iowa fans can get. It's almost a certain TC is back for his junior year and I would say unless he has a monster All American type season next year, a pretty good chance he plays out his eligibility.

Agreed, but I wouldn't count it out. If he gets that jumper consistent and improves on defense, he could average 20 and 10 with a couple blocks and leave after next season. I think he's honestly only a few pointers and maybe 1-2 thousand hours of practice away from developing a jumper out to 20 feet and solid college defense. He flashed the jumper this year and it was smooth when he didn't rush it. It kind of reminded me of White's before he put things together his senior year. On defense, he just needs to feel the urgency a bit more and keep his head on a swivel. I think that will be hammered again and again in team practice this off-season.
My expert analysis and prediction with zero credentials to back it up: he leads Iowa to the sweet 16 averaging 18.4269ppg and 9.8675309rpg then makes the jump.

One thing to consider is we all think he has no chance to have a good evaluation do in large part to his defense and rebounding, but he obviously has the physical tools to excel at those things, so what if he really gets after it in the evaluatiins? Ups his game because he really has something to try for. Will NBA teams care what his film looked like at Iowa? Or can they be wowed over a few workouts of 100% effort ?
Could, ya never know. I would say that the NBA (and MLB) draft more on future potential then any other sport. He has boatloads of it.
