That didn’t take long:

TJ, thanks for some good times. Good luck out there in the real world. I’m sure you will do quite well.
NBAdraft.net and Draftexpress.com project Warren to be a top 20 pick in the first round of the June draft.
Or is he……
Undecided
— TJ Warren (@T24Warren) March 24, 2014
At the very least with the money involved he should make himself available. I would not sign a contract with an agent until I had a clearer view of the likely draft status. If he goes (which seems likely) all is well and good. If he stays for another year all is well and good. In the end I want him to make the decision that is right for him. If that means we get to see him in a Pack uni for another year I’m very happy. If it means he steps to the league I’m also happy.
Look at this way…..TJ was family insight into this process and also what to expect.
If he and his family, who is well acquainted with the NBA said GO FOR IT….then I would also expect that Coach Gottfried was asked for a “professional” opinion.
Would NOT surprise me if Coach Lowe was also involved to give some insight as he has the most knowledge.
TJ was a great asset to the team. Wish him the very best in the future and have NO hard feelings or animosity to him.
He peaked at the right time and we, the WP, are the beneficiaries of his learning process.
GO TJ and GO PACK.
Actually, I’d be quite surprised if Sid was brought into the equation, Roo.
Daddio has had the feel from day one, and quite frankly, I don’t think Gottfried’s opinion was measured either.
He’s an instant 6th -7th man to a good club, with a contract that’s in granite.
One more year at State could have never gained him more than that.
I wonder when Paige comes out. He’s lottery type IMO .
So if TJ returns we might make the Sweet 16 where we’ll lose to Dayton, Wichita, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, UNC, Duke, or if God is in a humorous mood, Arizona State.
More likely TJ leaves and the fan-base rests easy b/c we’ll be a bubble team. Therefore you are required to be happy we made the dance playing so many sophomores.
Anyone ever stop to think what last season would be like if Purvis stuck around? He’s far superior to his replacement, Dez Lee. Better defender, scorer, shooter. I mean, we would have still sucked…but just saying…losing transfers hurts.

Yes a hot mess like his one and only season.
Watch Dez next year – I think he will be tough. The year from JUCO to D-1 is always an adjustment, but he will be a 4th year player, senior leader, and will have made the adjustment to know what works and what does not.
He showed big improvement over the course of the year and I love his attitude. He will play tough D and I expect will surprise a lot of people next year.
I wonder when Paige comes out. He’s lottery type IMO .
Respectfully disagree. There aren’t many 165 pound combo guards taken in the lottery. Can anyone name the last one? IMO it is a stretch to believe Paige will ever be an impact player in the NBA.

Better defender? LOL.
You also completely ignore the cancer factor, which dwarfs the rest.
Paige will go – common sense has nothing to do with it. McAdoo will stay. He put the M in mediocrity.
TJ couldn’t get calls in his own house – no way he’s going to stay. Got to wish him all the luck. He’s a beast.
If Steve Friggin Blake can make an NBA team, then Paige should have no problem. Fact is, Chapel Hill pays better than the D-league, so it makes the choice easy for their guys.
He is announcing his decision Tuesday:
The feedback from the NBA and the agents Warren and his family have met with in the past two weeks has all been positive, his father said Thursday, but an announcement from Warren will probably wait until Tuesday.
The reason for the delay?
“It’s T.J.’s decision and I want to make sure he’s 100 percent,” his father, Tony Warren said Thursday. “Not 80 percent, not 90 and not 99.9 but 100 percent.”
