Sophomore guard Jonny Flynn will sign with NBA agent Leon Rose, who is also LeBron James‘ agent, according to Mike Waters of the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Flynn, a first-team All-Big East selection, had initially said he would test the waters and leave open the option of returning for his junior year. If a player doesn’t sign with an agent, he can return to campus.
Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris have already said they will leave Syracuse for the pros. Now Flynn will join them.
Draftexpress.com and NBAdraft.net both have Flynn going No. 15 to the Detroit Pistons.
That leaves Andy Rautins, Mookie Jones and Scoop Jardine as the lone returning guards at Syracuse. Those three, along with Brandon Triche, the Co-Mr. New York Basketball with Lance Stephenson, will lead the backcourt.
CINCY, RUTGERS NOT RECRUITING LANCE
Despite rumors that Lance Stephenson has reached out to Cincinnati and Rutgers, both schools emphatically deny that that is the case.
“We haven’t talked to Lance,” said a source within the Cincinnati program. “I don’t know how that got put out there. We’ve never talked to Lance or his dad.”
Sources at Rutgers said the same thing.
