Over the next several weeks and months one of the things we’ll be keeping tabs on is who is staying in college and who is declaring for the draft. Recently, Pittsburgh’s DeJuan Blair stated he would be putting his name in the draft but not hiring an agent. That’s very common for guys who want to get an idea of where they will go in the draft.
Blair has changed his mind, however, and will hire an agent. Blair has been projected as a mid-to-late 1st round pick, but his production level in college, as well as his plans to attend several pre-draft workouts could move him higher.
…I’ve seen a lot about how Blair promised Jamie Dixon he would play 4 years at Pitt…but give me a break…these college coaches lie to their players about staying all the time as well…and what Blair did was hardly lying…the guy had an unreal year and he has every right to run for the money…
…Plus, Pitt is losing Levance Fields and Sam Young as well…so the time to go is definitely now if you are DeJuan…and I will not miss him at all…
