… Pitt sophomore center DeJuan Blair will enter this June’s NBA Draft, according to a report

CBS reported late Monday night that an industry source said a decision and news conference could come as early as Tuesday, but that another source informed him that the decision won’t be announced until next week.

Blair, a first-team All-American this year, helped lead the Panthers to their first Elite Eight appearance since 1974, their first No. 1 ranking and a 31-5 record.

The report said that Blair will not hire an agent immediately, in case he changes his mind and decides to come back to Pitt. But another source claimed that event is unlikely, barring an unexpected circumstance.
