CSN Announces Absolutely Nothing New on Greivis Vasquez

The Washington Post had reported that Maryland star Greivis Vasquez would be announcing his intentions regarding the NBA draft today on CSN's SportsNite. Most of us expected the verdict to be "He's staying," or "He's going." Surprisingly, it was neither.
Instead, they announced something that had been known for quite awhile. Greivis will file paperwork with the NBA, which will allow him to attend camps and get scouts' opinions on him. He will not hire an agent, so he can come back if he so chooses.
This has actually been known for a long time (it was first announced during the ACC tourney), so it was no surprise. Also, it happens all the time with "bubble" players like Greivis. It's not that big of a deal, so I'm surprised CSN made such a big deal of it.
They did announce one new thing: it sounded like Europe was ruled out. That's huge, because Europe was quite possibly a bigger threat than the NBA. That way, he could still get money - moreso than he could with the NBA, perhaps - and still play.
Glad I wasted my chance at Chipotle for this.

WOW! That truely is
Breaking News! My day is complete now! Tell the source who retrieved this Phenominal information that if not for him, us Terps fans would be lost!
Forget saving calories!! I’m watching this midget BK commercial and i must say, this Midgets got my stomach rollin!
Nothing like Bk watching the O’s! And Chipotle is hard to come by in Fort Bragg. These guys eat out at strip joints!
Ahh, good ol' burrito
Grevis was at chipotle here in college park the day before the North Carolina game eating a big fat burrito. It is definitely what won us that game. He got a little heritage in him.
But as for this stuff, I do not think he is ready for the NBA. He is a great player, but not fluent enough to get pass some of the defenses he will face. The faster guards and small forwards in the NBA will get very physical with him and he will definitely struggle.
I am upset today because of this, but come on back Grevis and lets go one more time.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
not fluent enough?
burrito part of his heritage?
lol…yeesh
but yeah…not ready for the nba…but that hasn’t stopped kids before…apparently his family is strapped for cash with his father’s passing last year
