Sorry Tiger fans, but the inside word as of 2:00 pm cst is Rose is declaring.

I am really sad to see him go, but he looks good for the number 1 draft spot, and if that is the case, I say go! Think of it this way, what would staying another year do for him? He can't go any higher. I wish him the best, and hope he does well at the next level. Just come back to Memphis and donate a practice facility or two, like Carmelo did with Syracuse, and all the tiger fans will forgive you for the early departure...oh yeah, and tell CDR to stick it out for one more year!!!

I'd love to see him return, but there's no way in hell he should.  He's the #1 or #2 pick...he's gotta go, plain and simple.

Hopefully CDR stays, I think he could improve his stock...but that might just be me being selfish.

What else can he do?  Come back for another year, hit some more free throws, and win a national championship.

I think CDR should stay if he isnt a Top 15 pick because he may be that next year, the Lopez brothers are skewing this draft because of their size and there are TWO of them, big guys just get drafted earlier.

Beasley will be the No.1 pick, Rose will go 2.  Teams cant bypass Beasley because he can go inside or outside, he has a man's body, like Lebron, and he is a scorer.  Rose is a great pick and a matchup problem for most every team.

I agree that this kid will end up being the overall #1. However, the NBA's rule on waiting a year is a joke. Most of these kids, as we're seeing this year, will only bother playing one year in college before they make the jump. Good for them, and I can't say that I wouldn't be tempted to do the same if I was in there shoes. But it ultimately takes away a scholarship that could have gone to someone who is interested in an education as well as playing basketball. If the school could get that scholarship replaced, it wouldn't be as big of a deal. On the good side, these kids who are passed over so a one-and-done player can come help sell some tickets get an opportunity to play somewhere else, and generally get more playing time. But if Stern wanted to make these kids wait, he would have made the waiting period two years. Make these kids actually give a crap about their commitment to a school.

He'll be missed, but we'll reload and be back in the mix for the Final Four next year.
