With uncertainty swirling around the NBA Draft, Scottie Lewis is making a smart move by returning to FloridaLewis' decision to return to the Gators could work out well for him in many ways When you're a McDonald's All-American and projected lottery pick coming out of high school, the last thing you ever expect to be is a sophomore in college. So Scottie Lewis, quite reasonably, always assumed he'd enter the 2020 NBA Draft, presumably after a terrific freshman season for a great college team. But he didn't have a terrific freshman season. And his team wasn't great. (Those two things were connected, by the way.) So the one-time projected lottery pick turned into a likely second-round pick. And when you combine that fact with the uncertainty surrounding this draft, Scottie Lewis, on Monday, did a sensible thing: he announced he's returning to Florida for a sophomore year he didn't previously plan to play.

Patrick Tape recommits to Duke after first committing then withdrawing commitment from Blue DevilsThe Columbia graduate transfer indicated Sunday he'll go to Duke after all Patrick Tape committed to Duke again over the weekend, according to 247Sports, capping a 12-day span in which the Columbia graduate transfer went from being uncommitted to committing to Duke and de-commiting from the Blue Devils before pledging to them again. The 6-foot-10 former Ivy League standout first committed to Duke on March 24 before news broke on April 2 that he would reopen his recruitment. But by Sunday, the Charlotte, North Carolina, native was back on track to use his last season of eligibility with the Blue Devils. He would add a needed veteran presence to a Duke front court that is expected to lose CBS Sports Freshman of The Year Vernon Carey Jr. to the NBA. Duke struggled with depth on its front line at times in the 2019-20 season, especially when Carey was in foul trouble. The Blue Devils ha..

Ashton Hagans made the announcement Sunday, calling the opportunity to enter the draft a "lifelong dream." "It's been my No. 1 goal since I first picked up a ball to take this step and I know my time is now," Hagans wrote in a message posted to Twitter.
