06:59 AM ET 04.16 | After the Notre Dame basketball banquet Wednesday, Luke Harangody was cagey and non-committal, telling everyone that he'd announce his intentions regarding the NBA Draft the following afternoon. His coach, however, wasn't quite as subtle. And therefore all signs point to the Irish's star forward declaring for the Draft and testing the waters over the next two months. "We talked a little bit today, he's going to come back in (Thursday) morning," Irish coach Mike Brey said. "We'll talk to you (Thursday) afternoon about how we're going to attack the next two months. Basically it's a two-month project taking you up to June 15." And June 15, of course, is the deadline for underclassmen who have not signed with an agent to withdraw their names from the Draft and return to school. Harangody confirmed after the banquet that he does indeed know what his intentions are, and Notre Dame has scheduled a 3:15 CT press conference for Thursday.

3 years in the league (if he's lucky) and he'll be all but done.

He's got Big Country written all over him way too slow for the NBA

lol.... he isn't going to be a top pick-
he'll be either a late 1st rounder or 2nd rounder.....
and could have a nice career as a back-up

and what if he IS big country ?
believe it or not he averaged 12 & 7 in his career and
earned FORTY TWO MILLION......
-not too shabby for a oaf

lmao...im a HUGE ND fan and a big fan of "The Goat", but ur spot on! funny stuff!

I do think tho that Goat will make the NBA. hes tough as nails, and he has the heart. THat will get him a long way. He will have a good career as a back-up/part time starter like a Matt Carroll, Pat Garrity type. I dont think he will rise to the Laphonso Ellis, Or AD level, but he will do good.

LOL. Who calls luke "the goat" besides you? I thought it was the Gody? I think he will be pretty good in the league. He's better than Psycho Tyler.

He's definitely not better then Hansbrough. Physco T is in shape, Harongody is fat, too slow.

This guy puts white on the chalk.

He is as white as I am. I fluoresce. We have that "honky" eastern European look.
