Terrence Oglesby is forgoing his two remaining years at Clemson, and heading to Italy on Saturday to begin negotiations with Italian and Spanish teams. Interesting move...I haven't heard of any other players leaving college early to play professionally abroad, although there may be a few escaping me. Perhaps it will be a more common occurrence in the future. Oglesby was a frustrating player to watch - had some amazing shots at times, and made such stupid plays others times, which was exemplified by his idiocy against Michigan in the NCAA tournament this year. Apparently, he has a Norwegian passport so he doesn't count towards the American limit for teams.

“There’s nothing really against Clemson,” Tony [Terrence's father] said. “It’s just an opportunity he didn’t want to turn down. He wants the chance to (play) six hours a day, get better and work toward eventually making the NBA [...] I’m sure there will be people who think this is about the money, but it’s not about money. He wants to play professional basketball, and this was an outstanding opportunity.”

Mods - feel free to merge this to the appropriate thread, but I couldn't find one. 2009 NBA Draft, NBA Draft early entries...none seemed to truly apply.
