Gabe will hire an agent (and will be drafted) meaning he is gone for good:
Pruitt made the decision to turn professional more than three weeks before the June 18 deadline to withdraw his name from consideration for the June 28 draft. The 6-foot-4 point guard said he would sign with Los Angeles' Excel Sports Management.
"I just felt that it was in my best interest to move on with my basketball career and focus fully on basketball right now," said Pruitt, who announced late last month that he would gauge NBA teams' interest in him without hiring an agent to protect his final year of eligibility.
That leaves us with Daniel Hackett, OJ Mayo, and possibly Angelo Johnson to run the point. I still think we have a shot at winning the Pac-10, but as with most young teams, there is always the issue of inconsistent play. This team is very inexperienced, but deadly in terms of athleticism. I'm still very optimistic for next season.
