Summary
Nearly 90 underclassmen opted to stay in the 2019 NBA draft pool. And nearly 90 decided to come back. Which schools benefitted most or were hurt significantly? This pod opens on that, then gets to a discussion (12:00) on the growing trend in college basketball to have more and more guys leaving early, even when they're not expected to be drafted. The guys zero in on Kansas (28:00) and R.J. Hampton's decision to bypass college and play in New Zealand. The pod wraps with a look at Parrish and Norlander's respective top fives (54:00) heading into the heart of the offseason.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Parrish. It's Thursday, May 30, 2019. Welcome back to the CBS Sports |
| 0:13.6 | I, on College Basketball Podcast, where we sometimes discuss camera fighting and lead |
| 0:17.9 | to drag Matt Norlander, is here with me. And the deadline to withdraw from the 2019 NBA |
| 0:23.9 | draft has passed. |
| 0:25.0 | The final day brought good news for Louisville and for Janie and Marilyn, not great news for |
| 0:29.9 | Houston, Cratern and Memphis, weird news for Kansas and against all odds. I have placed |
| 0:35.7 | wheel weights LSU Tigers in the top 25 and 1, even though just two months ago, it seemed |
| 0:40.4 | doubtful that wheel weight would ever coach the LSU Tigers again. Norlander, let's just |
| 0:44.8 | open with some general thoughts on the lead up and the actual day of the deadline to withdraw |
| 0:53.6 | from the NBA draft. Who is the biggest winner or some of the biggest winners at the deadline? |
| 0:58.6 | Some of the biggest losers at the deadline. |
| 1:00.6 | Yeah, there's a lot here. We've got, I'm trusting our boy Goodman here on these numbers. |
| 1:09.7 | He's got 87 underclassmen staying in the draft that declared with 88 returning to school. |
| 1:16.9 | I'll get to those numbers in a little bit here. Winners? I don't know if there was a |
| 1:23.8 | one in the draft and out and out explicit overwhelming winner, GP, because even the schools |
| 1:30.3 | that you could declare winners also took hits elsewhere in between the end of the season |
| 1:34.5 | and now. I think Kentucky and Louisville are probably my two biggest ones because those |
| 1:41.1 | are the two schools where you had multiple players returning and you didn't take on a lot |
| 1:48.4 | of damage elsewhere with the roster. Louisville gets Jordan Warra back late on Wednesday night. |
| 1:54.5 | Stephen Inock, who I think was mostly expected return. Nevertheless, he did enter into the |
| 1:59.7 | process. He'll be back and because of that Louisville has arguable top five status. You |
| 2:04.6 | can say the same for obviously for Kentucky, which gets Nick Richards and EJ Mont Gummary |
