Travis Leslie to Keep Name in Draft

Excerpt from the University of Georgia Athletics:

University of Georgia basketball player Travis Leslie has decided to keep his name on the list of underclassmen in the NBA Draft and therefore, he will not return for his senior season at Georgia, according to an announcement Tuesday by head coach Mark Fox.

Leslie, a 6-4 guard from Decatur, had announced a week ago that he was testing his draft status by adding his name to the list of underclassman candidates. “After talking it over with my family, I have decided that I will forgo my senior year and enter into the NBA Draft,” Leslie said. “I would like to thank UGA for giving me the opportunity, as well as Coach Fox and the staff in helping me to improve my game. Last but not least, I’d like to thank the Georgia fans for their support over the past three years.”
