I don't have any inside knowledge -- even if a decision has already been made, which is incredibly unlikely, it'd probably be announced on Twitter or something.
What I can say is that I'm not sure Sage will be influenced looking at others, i.e. Dortch and Bates. I do feel like Dortch was influenced by Bates in that Jessie left with a low grade and went to the combine, where he vaulted up draft boards. I think Greg thought he'd be able to do the same, but wasn't recovered from the hand/wrist injury and couldn't work out at the combine.
Sage, though, is a pretty independent thinker. Case in point, the hood-only look, which he told me after the game was influenced by seeing Marquise Brown wear one last year at Oklahoma (edit to say I guess he's not the most-independent of thinkers, but still a strange quirk). I didn't know this until reading the story from the Athletic last week, but he and Chazz were something of chess prodigies -- which isn't shocking. Sage is one of the best-spoken players on the team, he's cerebral (which, Harvard, so duh).
So, what I'm trying to say is: If he leaves early, it'll be of his own volition. If he stays, it'll be easy to point to him valuing his degree. You grads would know much better than I, but he's an economics major -- can't imagine that's the easiest of majors at Wake.
This whole post makes me happy. Would be incredible to have 2 more years of Sage.
