Will Gordon return to Indiana?

Indiana's Eric Gordon said his future is undecided, although NBA scouts have said he is likely to be a top four pick if he chooses to turn pro. He said the hiring of a new coach will not affect his decision. "I don't know," he said. "This is a great team. We'll just see what happens." Gordon was perhaps most affected by the chaos at the end of Indiana's season and it showed against Arkansas. He hardly made an impact on the floor, but that's something Hoosiers fans might want to start getting used to.

No. He's gone. He's top 5 in the draft, so why stay?

i really wanted Indiana to go deep in da tourney but EG's shots just werent falling yesterday...he looked very discouraged...he should return for one more year at IU because thats no way for him to end his freshman year...but if he does go pro he deserves to go to a team that will already be a playoff contender...maybe a team like Jersey in the East

he has a nice shot and is a fantastic COLLEGE player...but he is not a franchise caliber NBA player- Which means you are crazy to take him in the top 5 picks.......
He's too small to play 2 guard in the NBA & too slow to guard an NBA 2....see jj redick. He is a round 2-type NBA player

If he can't take the "turmoil" of college basketball, what makes him ready to deal with life with the Grizzlies, Sonics or Bucks?!?!?

I hope he stays. I can only hope that his hunger to advance past the first round and win some tournament games will keep him at Indiana. He is a fantastic player with a bright future but one more year definitely would not hurt his chances with the NBA.

Gordon is a good player, but immature and arrogant. In other words, he's perfect for the NBA.
