Obvious and well known move. Let's hope we can re-sign him and not start him off for much more than that.

Our plans all along were first to qualify and then to negotiate and get Raymond signed to a contract.

With PG being the one position scouts are praising in this draft class based on both potential and quantity available, one has to wonder how much of a market there will be for Ray after Thursday night.

I hadn't thought about this angle, but it's a very good point. If teams like Portland, Philly, and Atlanta all snap up young PGs, the options could become limited for Ray.
