Reply to "ncaa and draft"

I love this site and and gotten all sorts of great information.  That said, I think you will not get very "accurate" answers as our question is probably just too situational.  You may get some ideas, but it could almost be like stirring the pot.  Probably the best thing to do is for this kid to do some asking around and try to understand the landscape.  Have others been drafted out of the program?  Does the program have an actual pro day?  

The more important questions might be whether this kid has received any contact from scouts.  There are all sorts of threads on here about how scouts contact players including the very early contacts where they are simply gaining some basic data of kids they think might be draft material.  The coach may very well be sitting on his hands and maybe hoping the kid does not get scooped up - but it is certainly not his responsibility to push out info (although most would expect him to respond to inquiries).  May want to rephrase question as to what contact should be expected at this point to think that he might get a) included in the big pool (something like a draft #) and b) realistic to be picked.  

Lots of folks will also tell you that there is significant value to staying in school, especially compared to sneaking into the draft in round 30-40.  If the kid were a potential 10-20 round pick, he probably would have already communicated with several scouts.
