All Juniors are gone

The Gator Boys rode into Gainesville together — and they are going to try and leave together.

Florida's foursome of Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Taurean Green are expected to make an announcement at 4 p.m. ET this afternoon that they will each be declaring for the NBA Draft, according to a source close to the Gators program.

The four juniors will make the announcement a day prior to the celebration scheduled for Friday in Gainesville.

Noah, Horford and Brewer each passed up probable first-round contracts a year ago to return to Gainesville. They accomplished their goal of becoming the first team since Duke in 1991-92 to win back-to-back national titles when they knocked off Ohio State on Monday night.

Noah, Horford and Brewer are near-locks to be taken in the first round this year while Green's status is unclear. It's expected to be a fairly weak point guard crop.

All four players averaged between 12 and 13.3 points this season. Green led the team at 13.3 while Brewer and Horford averaged 13.2 and Noah averaged 12 points. The team's fifth starter, Lee Humphrey, was a senior.

No one is going to give these guys crap for wanting to go to the NBA. After what they have given us, they deserve whatever they want.

I wish them the best of luck at the next level.

Well that sucks. I thought for sure Green would have come back for 1 more year. O -well. Best of luck to them all.

i wonder if any college team has had 6 players drafted into the nba at one time?

man...noah is so close to coming up north...but no matter where any of them go that team got a new supporter

I've seen some drafts with Noah, Horford and Brewer all in the top 7.

Wouldn't it be something if two (or three!) of them wound up on the same team. It think that franchise would need to move down here to support its fan base.

true as that may be they'd have to trade like crazy, to manage to pull it off

I hoped they would come back, but you can't blame them. I wish them all the luck in the world in the NBA. They won't disappoint, that's for sure.

if they all went to the same team they might as well just move the team to Gainsville! that would be awesome!!!!
