Devin Robinson declaring for NBA Draft: After conferring with his family, Devin Robinson has declared his intentions for the NBA Draft. New NCAA rules allow players who declare for the draft, participate in a combine, and work out with one team, to still return to their school - provided that they don't sign with an agent. Players would have until May 25th to remove their name from draft consideration and return to school. Some of the linked articles state that Robinson is still considering declaring, but the Florida Gators' story has been updated with Robinson's declaration that he posted on his (private) Instagram account late last night.

I would like to thank all of my family, friends, teammates and the UF faculty, staff and most of all the Rowdies for their support over the last two years and in my career moving forward.
