Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Joe Tryon is a cautionary tale on how shady agents can flash a little real money and ruin dreams

Tryon would be making millions and millions more balling out in this defense. What a waste. Everything he did prior was built up to this season, his break-out season, his ascension to UW stardrom. Now he fades away, never to be spoken of again. And for what?
Keeps the agents away.

Who?? Does he play for UW?

Mock I saw tonight had Tryon as a mid 3rd rounder ... that feels about right

I’d have stronger feelings about this if the conference hadn’t given up on the kids in August.

I've seen him mocked in the top 15. But I also have a hard time seeing that materializing given how little college production he had. He'd need a kickass combine to go that soon.
But who knows where GMs are with this year. More than ever they're going to be drafting a lot more on potential vs. production, so I could easily see a team taking a flier on Tryon. -
He'll definitely do better than Eugene Burkhalter.

I felt bad for him. He would have played a huge part in that '90 team.TommySQC said:

Absolutely not. No body of work to justify a 1st Round pick. He'd have to run 4.5. I think Tryon is a Day 2 selection.GreenRiverGatorz said:I've seen him mocked in the top 15.

ZTF performance this year doesn't help his case either. I don't think Joe like school that much and going 3rd or 4th round is fine. Expectations won't be that he's a starter right away and he can keep working on his skills.
The same people talking about a Day 1 selection were sure Hunter Bryant was a Day 1 selection.

His first commitment was to Wazzu, if I remember correctly.
Maybe that says it all.
