He is announcing his attentions to go pro as he should. If you are a lottery pick there are 0 reasons to stay in school. In fact even though I'm a huge Illinois fan I will go as far as to say I want Deron to go pro because its in his best interests.

 

Good luck in the NBA Deron

He's ready, no matter what the detractors say. I'm sad and happy at the same time. Best of luck to him, what a great kid he and the other guys were

So long D-Will!

 

I'll never, ever forget this year.

 

It's time Deron, make us proud.

I'm sad and happy at the same time.

I didn't see it mentioned in here, but Deron did sign with an agent so he is officially not coming back to Illinois.
