I don’t think so. I think he just got some good advice. Probably had an agent that said “these are the teams I can get you post draft opportunities with”, and that made him realize he needs to raise his stock.

I am sure you are right.
Great news!
KD gets to prove that he can be the man and I recall he did that against Oregon State last year with nearly 200 yards receiving. Even if that doesn't happen, defenses cannot ignore him in the passing game.
And he could be an emergency QB as well. Cannot ignore that one.

KD is the most ride of die Buff. He declared for the draft to get more WR recruits to sign at the dotted line and then once the ink was dry he came back to the team.

Whether it was his intention or not, he deserves praise for his recruiting efforts.
Very happy for Buffs and KD. This was the best decision for both.

Question is: At which WR position will he be #1? The competition is sick!
Stanley is just as fast, taller and has just-as-good hands in the slot. Arias is just as fast and much taller, on the outside. Jaylon Jackson, Vontae Shenault and Huffman-Dixon are back; while all four true FR look pretty darned good.........

Followed up with “Is your visa valid? Do you like poutine?”
My take is one, he will get his degree. That’s of vast importance in case the NFL doesn’t work out.
And second, he may light the world in fire if he has a QB that sees him and can hit him in stride. If I were him I’d be helping Lewis unpack so he and BL can start playing catch to develop a rhythm/bond.

Oh my gosh, I'm shocked.
Spot on!!! This has an eerie feel of 2017, when we knew that Viska was better than the 3 leading boyz! Arias must get on the field, and if KD does not want to play the slot, then we know the best player should play!!! I like KD, and this is the right decision, but this WR room will be sick and he needs to either lead or get out of the way.

The NFL will give him a grade before declaring. https://operations.nfl.com/the-players/development-pipeline/college-advisory-committee/
I think the important thing is it is done before they make a formal declaration, ie fill out the paperwork. In KD's case I think he made the public declaration without having the evaluation in hand. I personally don't think he had shown enough to be drafted and is unlikely to be drafted after next year either.

Which was my point. An extra year might help him, shouldn’t hurt him, and will have one more year done toward a degree (or degree completed).
Glad he’s staying. Here’s hoping JJ uses him more effectively than this year. Or, you know, our QB can find him more often.

Great Buff! Great Talent! Go Gettum KD!
I'd like to see the rotating captains baloney go away, and I'd have KD on my list of possible permanent captains for 2020.

Coach Tucker, has said he will go to the more traditional captains at some point, I get why he did the captains like he did this year.

WTF?
It was a smart move by Tucker in year one. He got to learn about the team and not be encumbered by potentially bad Captains that would hinder culture development. Now he knows each player well enough to make informed decisions.

I wish KD luck, but his path to the NFL is going to be very challenging. Having a Masters Degree is huge so he can create a good life.
