Taj Gibson to Remain in NBA Draft

Excerpt from ESPN.com:

USC forward Taj Gibson confirmed to ESPN.com via Twitter Monday afternoon that he is keeping his name in the NBA draft and forgoing his remaining season of eligibility at USC.

Gibson joins a crowded exodus from USC, up to and including coach Tim Floyd.

Demar DeRozan already has turned pro and signed with an agent, and guard Daniel Hackett signed a contract to play professionally in Italy.
