Whoever has mentioned this will be huge for recruiting is dead on.

If McCullough moves up to 13, getting him and Lawrence is making me weak in the knees.

Thought when NBA made new rule that you had to wait one year after your high school graduation class it also reqired you to be 19 years of age? Anyway good luck and goodbye Mo, we hardly new ya.

It was one or the other.

Really love the way posters are ripping his decision.

Stay classy folks.

If Harkless blew out his knee next year or played horrible for some reason he would be kicking himself for the rest of his life. ....

If he blew out his knee next year and had chose to stay in college he would HAVE NOOOOO MONEY!!!!   Now at least he would have money!!! *facepalm*

Good luck, Moe! We're all behind you.  Some guys are just a little upset you weren't around longer that's all. 

We'll have a much better record next season, although things won't quite feel the same without him.

Regardless of whatever flaws his still-developing game has, the kid was a flat-out stud for us.

I'm not pissed at him at all, but if he tears his ACL during a workout for an NBA team, he has no money. Injuries can happen anywhere.

I guess we will have to accept that early departures will be a routine element with Coach Lavin and his recruitment.  Going 11 years between early departures is not a good indicator for any high profile school now days.

It probably helps Coach in recruiting players for the same position.  Case in point the SG position!  None of us know how long D'A will be with us, but it probably will not be for the own standard of four years.  Recruits are aware that playing time will be available due to kids going pro early.  Just look at the schools like UK, NC and Duke.

We all would love to see Moe play that second year, but it is what it is.  A short term loss, but perhaps a long term gain.

Have a great pro career, Moe.

How would that stop him from being successful inside or outside the league OR earning a degree if he so choose to?  Injuries can happen anywhere, but timeing is everything. 

You would much rather be hurt AFTER you sign your pro contract and you get your money.  Ask Greg Oden, if he stayed 1 or 2 more years he would've been in much worse shape financially.  Ask Robbie Hummel, I bet he now wishes he went pro 2 years ago, even if that pro career was in Europe I bet his offers would've been much higher then than they will be at the end of this year.  Hell, ask DJ Kennedy.  I bet overseas offers would've been far better if he came out after junior year than they were after his injury last year.

I will always love Moe's commitment to St. John's. He chose us and started the process of legitimacy and through everything that happened, he did not waiver and continued to play hard.

Hope he doesnt go to a rival of the Knicks so I dont have to hate him.

Moe got the ball rolling for us in recruiting. Doesn't matter how long he played here he will always be one of us now.

Best of luck Moe and I hope you go real high in the draft and more importantly have a great NBA career

People here are complaining about Moe and meanwhile Victor Rudd of USF declared.  Least he didn't hire an agent.

Nate trying to get Moe Harkless trending on twitter again.  LOL.  He's retweeting like crazy right now! gotta love his dedication to his boy.

Draftexpress said they knew he would turn pro since the being of this year & I though it was the Duke/ Providence  game which catapulted him into stardom. I wonder how they knew that?!?

I wish Moe Harkless good luck and I want to thank him for his work.

I am sure that he will make the same thing in the NBA than in St. John´s: We will be very proud for him.

Victor Rudd's USF went 12-6 in the BE, and they won two tournament games. And he's a junior.

...and he'll likely be selected after Moe in the draft.
