Texas' Tristan Thompson Declares For Draft?

Excerpt from the Austin-American Statesman:

Tristan Thompson, who was a relentless offensive rebounder and shot-blocker for the Longhorns last season, will not return to Texas for his sophomore season and instead will make himself eligible for the NBA Draft, a source close to his family said.

The source said he spoke to Thompson this week.

An NBA scout familiar with Thompson’s situation also said the player would leave school.
