Herd's Whiteside to Turn Pro, According to Reports

From WOWKTV.com: http://wowktv.com/story.cfm?func=viewstory&storyid=77469

HUNTINGTON -- Call it a double-dose of bad news for the Marshall University basketball program.

Hours after rumors began circulating that Donnie Jones will step down as the Herd's head coach to take the same position at the University of Central Florida, MU may be losing its freshman sensation.

Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com is reporting that Hassan Whiteside will enter this year's NBA Draft, foregoing his final three years of college eligibility.

Whiteside averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.4 blocks in his first year for the Herd.
In just one season, he broke the school's career record for blocks by a player.

ESPN's Chad Ford lists him as the 10th-best prospect in the 2010 draft, while NBADraft.net has him 11th.

Draft Express ranks him 18th.
