IF I were Woodson, and IF the kid asked for my advice, I think I would only tell him "You have a chance, this year, to be drafted in the lottery. But, if you return, and keep playing as well as you are, and keep improving, you could be the number one pick next year".

I think that is the only pitch you can make.
