Rodney Hood leaves Duke for draft

One day after freshman star Jabari Parker officially left for the NBA, fellow Duke forward Rodney Hood did the same.

The 6-foot-8 Hood, who played just one season in Durham, N.C., after transferring from Mississippi State, is considered a definite first-rounder by many NBA executives and could be taken in the lottery. Parker will likely be chosen in the top three picks of the June 26 draft.

Hood averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this past season. He sat out the 2012-13 season per NCAA transfer rules.

"Rodney had two terrific years here at Duke," coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. "He was an integral part of our team two years ago because he was such a great practice player, and this year he was one of the best players in the country. So consistent, and a great young man on and off the court. He will do really well in the NBA."

3. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin ....

... four starters from this year's Final Four Badger team are committed to returning. The fifth is out of eligibility.

I like the way Bo does it.

4. I think Napier is staying at UCONN...not sure if I'm correct...

But I think he's the best college player out there, and a player who won't go high in the draft, kind of like Kemba Walker.

7. Nope, he's a senior, and he is graduating this spring.

He made a promise to his mother (single mom) that he would stay the full four years and earn a degree.

8. Good for him...

ESPN isn't getting all giggly about him and the draft like they are over Parker and Randels.
