Not that this was much of a surprise, but Bruin Report Online is saying that Holiday is putting his name in the draft. I'm not a member so I don't have the full story, but I think even those of us who thought Holiday would come back next year expected him to declare and see where he was at. Here is hoping he doesnt hire an agent.

Not a surprise

He probably should put his name out there to see the response. But I’m still hoping he’ll decide that another year will really improve his stock and he’ll come back.

And as for hope…I’m still hoping for any $c clown to admit that Assholder was out of bounds, too.

Here is some more

From nbadraft.net

Came into the season with huge hype but left people wondering what all the fuss was about. Obviously has great size for the PG position, if in fact he’s a point guard. Pundits have long hyped him in a similar, almost programmed fashion, but for someone that was supposed to be polished entering college ball, he looked downright awful at times and never took over or dominated. Pac-Ten writers and insiders all think he’s overrated. The early lottery projections were way off, and the DWade and Westbrook comparisons are a farce. With all the early entry candidates, Holiday is no lock for the first round and should return to school and prove himself by running the point guard position for UCLA next season. The UCLA system constrains statistics, but by leaving now, after such an average year, it makes it appear as if he has something to hide. Likely late first to early second rounder.

Contradicting reports

Dohn reported earlier today that

I talked to Shawn Holiday, the father of UCLA freshman guard Jrue Holiday, this morning and he said no decision has been made as to whether he will enter the NBA draft.
"No, it has not been made,‘’ Shawn said. "Nothing yet.’’

That was this morning so who knows if things have changed since then or if BRO was over anxious in breaking the story. Either way, this really feels just like with KL last year that it is a matter of time until JH declares and that the next few days/weeks will just be battles between the media of who has the momentary correct information regarding has he or hasn’t he yet declared.

Poncho

You should take your fanshot and subsequent comments and then turn that into a fanpost and keep updating from there. I think BRO’s information is the more updated one.

But none of this is a surprise. We all knew he was going to test the waters. He and his family going through the process. I fully expect him to leave after it is all said and done. But perhaps I will be proven wrong. I am not hopeful.

Sorry N

This was my only 30 minutes of downtime today so I don’t think I will have time to put it into a cognizant post. Feel free to make it into one (or anybody else for that matter).

No worries

I will try to write something tonight or early am.
