We're leaving for Italy in August. We will know about the status of Roby by May 29th.
Also this is probably the best timeline I found about the draft deadlines
If Roby doesn't come back you're talking about getting rid of the 3 guys that currently are in the running with Kavas to be the starting or backup centers on the team.
Rankings have changed for us quite a bit with the roster additions
51 New Mexico St.
54 Nebraska
93 South Florida
99 Loyola Chicago
148 George Mason
154 Old Dominion
212 Colorado St.
283 Washington St.
Official = school pays for the visit
Unofficial = you pay for the visit
I think there are limitations on visits for both schools and prospective students though I don't know what they are
Arop's teammate at Prep - 6'3"

I assume from his offers this would be a preferred walk-on situation
Going from his personal twitter feed I"m seeing only Southern Miss, Illinois and Okie St. Illinois just recently just filled their last schollie with a top 50 center.
If he does have an offer from Arkansas, it has to be from Mike Anderson
This is a good read

Intriguing combination of height and skillset as he's a 6'8" PG
He didn't have his own thread somehow
He visited April 13th during the Spring game
Has thus far taken visits to UConn, has declared for the draft, and is open to returning to UNLV
Two things
1. I'm pretty sure that Roby has an agent. However, with the rule changes that is permissible now for guys who want to come back.
2. 'Not going to class' as in 'physically not being present in class' isn't the same as 'not completing classes/classwork' and the latter is what I'm assuming that Bartovik is referring to.the
Everything is set up for Roby to come back if he chooses and the draft evaluations and workouts will probably be the biggest factor on whether or not he does. (seems doubtful)
Expressed interest = There is a tweet that says we contacted them.
It's generally safe to say that until a guy schedules a trip here it's mostly ado about nothing.
That's a good question because he had a very unorthodox path.
He actually enrolled at New Mexico St in the spring semester of 2017 so technically he redshirted that year.
After Paul Weir and assistant Mark Hsu left (Hsu is now at W. Kentucky and Figueroa was to visit there yesterday), Figueroa ended up at Odessa JUCO where he was an All-American. He then ended up at St Johns.
Worst case scenario is that he ends up somewhere and has to sit out one to play one.
Best case is that he can immediately play somewhere for two years.
I suppose it's possible he could have a waiver for the first redshirt year and thus can play two but still has to sit out one.
