Just posting to archive this sad event in UCLA Basketball history. Sorry for the delay but bad "UCLA basketball" news travels slow in these parts. Hey, at least I beat uclabruins.com. I just checked and they still haven't posted that Jordan is leaving for the NBA. They still have the news that he was returning for his junior year. Myopic.
Goodbye, Jordan. Thanks for the great memories. All the best in the future!
Jordan Adams has decided to enter the 2014 NBA draft after all,
UCLA coach Steve Alford confirmed to ESPN.

Stephen Dunn/Getty ImagesJordan Adams has changed his mind and will enter the NBA draft instead of returning to UCLA.
One week after meeting with his coaches at UCLA and telling them he would remain in school, Adams informed them late Saturday night that he had changed his mind.
The 6-foot-5 Adams, who averaged 17.4 points per game last season, becomes the third member of the Bruins to declare for this year's draft, joining point guard
Kyle Anderson and reserve guard
Zach LaVine.
Alford said he was unsure why Adams changed his mind.
"I don't know why," Alford said in a text message to ESPN. "We lose four of five starters."
"Jordan informed us yesterday that he has decided to enter this year's NBA Draft, "Alford said in a statement. "He had two terrific seasons while at UCLA. I enjoyed coaching him this past season and wish him and his family all the best."
