“If he didn't go pro last year and didn't really improve his position in the draft, then why go pro now when he can still improve? The NBA isn't going anywhere.”

— April Naster, Kansas University junior, Leawood

“Yeah. Why wait? I don't really know that much about it, but why would he pass it up if that's what he wants to do in the long run anyway?”

— Cassandra Emeneger, waitress, Lawrence

“I don't think he should go pro. Every mock draft I've seen has him going late in the first or early in the second round. If it's as deep a draft as people say it is, maybe he'd have better luck next year.”

— Chris Harris, Kansas University senior, Lawrence

“No. I don't think he should go pro. I always kind of thought Rush was overrated until it was crunch time in the tournament and he really came through.”

— Sarah Noulles, waitress/bartender, Lawrence
