Pruitt isn't announcing Tuesday
Nick Young's announcement that he will enter the NBA draft will happen Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Heritage Hall. Gabe Pruitt is not scheduled to make his announcement at that time. Pruitt has told the Daily News he is leaning toward declaring for the NBA draft to test the waters but not hiring an agent so that he can have the option of returning for his senior year. Young is planning to hire an agent.
Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time
at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight
run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the
school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era.
After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full
time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the
rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim
Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean,
he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School
in Woodland Hills.

Pruitt should go, OJ will probably take away his playing time.
MK edit: This may be a softer draft for point guards, giving him reason to go. But I don't think OJ's presence would have much of an impact on his playing time.

Hey Matt, you have any insight on Master P's kid, Romeo? I know he and his teammate from his AAU team committed a couple of days ago.
