Here is a preliminary list of those invited to the combine. One has to think that if you are an underclassman on the fence about entering the draft and you were not invited, you really should be going back to school - it looks like Theo Pinson is not on the list.

That's 63 players listed (with five alternates).

A year ago, there were over 70 players invited, but the list was eventually trimmed to 63. That inludes seniors, undergrads with agents and undergrads without agents.

Not sure how many were undergrads, but I do count seven who participated in the combine and then pulled out of the draft, including Blossongame at Clemson, Berry and Jackson from UNC, D Lawson from Memphis, Malik Newman, Swanigan and Melo Trimble.

So we should expect maybe half a dozen -- maybe more -- of the players on the current combine list to return. The ACC guys to watch: Frank Jackson, Donovan Mitchell, Tony Bradley, Omer Yurtseven ... Deng Adel is an alternate (and because Ball and several more top guys will skip the combine, he'll probably get an invite). Those are the only ones invited to the combine who have not hired an agent.

I think that leaves Theo Pinson, Dante Graham, Maverick Rowan and Ted Kapita as undeclared ACC guys who were not invited.
