GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Florida forward Alex Tyus, the team’s leading rebounder, plans to make himself eligible for the NBA draft.
Tyus, a junior from St. Louis, has not filed early entry paperwork. But team spokesman Fred Demarest says Tyus plans to do so this week. Tyus doesn’t plan to hire an agent, meaning he will have until May 8 to withdraw his name and return to school for his senior season.
The Gainesville Sun first reported Tyus’ decision Wednesday.
The 6-foot-8, 220-pound Tyus averaged 11.8 points and 6.9 rebounds this season. It’s unclear whether he would even get drafted since he is considered too small to play power forward in the NBA.
Tyus announced last spring that he was transferring, but changed his mind about a week later.
