In response to Bill Lewis
I mean, anything is possible, but I'd be stunned if Bamba spent more than a year or two in college. Unless something crazy happens, he's a Top 5 pick in the 2018 draft if he declares.
Bamba's interest in Harvard is sincere, and while I have no intention of trying to convince anyone of that, I have a simple question: why would anyone sit for many more standardized tests than they need to just to be eligible for an offer they have no intention of accepting? The answer of "waving a Harvard card" is uncompelling as I don't see how that helps him get more NBA money and as for press coverage - the kid is a lock lottery pick for 2018, why the hell would he need press coverage?
Trust me, Harvard is a MAJOR player here.
