Gay to leave UConn for NBA draft
By Andy Katz

Connecticut sophomore guard Rudy Gay will announce he will skip his final two seasons of eligibility and enter the NBA draft at a 3 p.m. ET news conference on campus Monday.

The news was expected for weeks.

Gay, who will likely hire an agent, has been projected as a top 10 pick throughout the season. Connecticut junior forward Josh Boone declared earlier this month but, unlike Gay, isn't expected to sign with an agent to preserve his amateur status in case he wants to return to school. Connecticut is also expecting junior point guard Marcus Williams to announce his intentions to leave for the NBA and sign with an agent later this week.

The Connecticut coaching staff said throughout the season that they expected Gay to be gone. They also anticipated Williams' departure. That's in part why the Huskies signed six players in the fall. UConn was already losing four seniors. So, the Huskies will have a North Carolina-like exodus if Boone stays in the draft with their top six players gone from the 30-4 co-Big East champs. The top returning scorer would be freshman forward Jeff Adrien (6.5 ppg).

Gay was further quoted:

My comming out (not of the closet!) is to fulfil a life long dream.

Also, The more top picks that come out really helps the knicks as there are better choices in later rounds.

Sure I won't play much, im too skinny and inconsistant, but There is so much I want to help my family out with.

I want to thank My AAU coach, Coach Calhoun, and all the staff at Uconn.

I hope to really enjoy myself and can't wait for all the "Gay" jokes.

The sneaker companies have yet to call. I don't know why?

If Gay has any say in it, he will be known as Rudy.
