You’re In or You’re Out… Today Is the Day!

Today is Monday, June 15th, which means it’s the last day college basketball players who have declared for the NBA Draft get to decide whether they want to stay in the draft or go back to college. This day is important to college hoopsters who still have a year or more of eligibility left. Getting into the wrong Draft, going to early or staying too late in school could mean millions of dollars to these young men. May the Force be with all of you today.  CBS Sports has a nice information center tracking all of the decisions. It’s complete with sparkling commentary from Gary Parrish, as well. Here are some of the headlines today:

  • Jodie Meeks of Kentucky is going to go pro rather than return to Coach Calipari.
  • Gani Lawal will return to Georgia Tech for at least one more season.
  • Jrue Holiday has decided to hire an agent as he prepares to go into the NBA.
  • Texas’ Damion James is not joining the Association just yet.
  • Davan Downey of South Carolina will earn the big bucks some other time.
