This basically confirms the rumors earlier that he might have some difficulty getting eligible. This is a move to get his grades taken care of, he's still coming to UW.
Eh, I'm inclined to believe him when he says he's going the prep route because the facilities, training, and support staff are that superior. I wouldn't be surprised if grades are wrapped up in it though.
All camp long, Beauchamp was one of the most consistent and efficient scorers. He averaged 13.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, and shot an impressive 47 percent from beyond the arc. With good length and excellent athleticism, Beauchamp is the kind of skilled and versatile wing that every coach wants. With his shot making on point, Beauchamp stood out, and asserted himself as one of the best in a loaded class of prospects from the West Coast. Consistency has always been the question with Beauchamp, but all camp long he showed what he was capable of, and never seemed to take a possession off.
I could see him being a mid 2nd rd guy with this news. While its possible that he'll develop more this way, the exposure that goes with playing well on the college level would do much more for improving his draft stock.
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[c] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[d] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[e] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Beauchamp is the servant with one talent.
Burying it for a year is a bold strategy, Cotton.
Let's see if it pays off for him.
