SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Big East tournament MVP Jonny Flynn, Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris of Syracuse plan to enter their names into the upcoming NBA draft, the university said Thursday.
Flynn indicated that he will not retain an agent, giving him the option to return to school. He led the Orange in scoring at 17.4 points per game and set an Orange record by playing 1,418 minutes. After just two seasons, he ranks seventh in career assists (439) at Syracuse.
Devendorf, a senior academically, averaged 15.7 points, overcoming a knee injury that sidelined him for most of 2007-08.

Harris, a junior, has 1,253 points in three seasons with the Orange and has logged 107 games, 72 as a starter. The 6-foot-3 Harris, who averaged 12 points and 8.1 rebounds this past season, has 28 double-doubles, ninth all-time at Syracuse.

I think Flynn will have success. Devendorf not a chance.

Flynn is like a more athletic version of Sherman Douglas. He will do fine.

D2, think you got it pegged. I'm actually a bit suprised to see Devendorf enter.

i don't even think Devendorf plans on getting drafted. I think he is content on playing overseas. The funny thing is in the paper the day before there was a big article saying on Devendorf's father said how Eric loved school and would be back next season, so this decision caught me off guard. It has been rumored that he is being forced out by Boeheim. They are already 1 scholarship over for next year, and it was siad Jimmy was sick of all the off the court stuff with Devendorf. I hope they don;t hire agents. They could have a real strong team next season. However, I have a feeling both Devo, and Harris will turn pro. Eric has a young daughter, and Harris has like a 10 year old child as well, so they need the money. i think we'll see Flynn back at Syracuse though....or at least I hope

Flynn is ready for the big time. You can just see it that he's going to be a nice cog on a decent team.

Devendorf should look in to laser removal for some of those hideous tats @)
