Baton Rouge, LA (Basketball News) - LSU junior forward Glenn "Big Baby" Davis will announce next week if he plans to leave college early in favor of the NBA.
"Glen Davis and I met yesterday (Monday) for about an hour and a half," said LSU head coach John Brady in a statement released by the school. "We are going to meet again next Tuesday (March 20) and probably set up a press conference next Wednesday (March 21)...Glen is gathering some information. I’ve called the NBA. I’ve called some NBA scouts. Glen’s also, I think, talking to some people who may or may not represent him which is legal for him to do. He’s just trying to get a grip on where he is in the draft and what he’s comfortable with."
Davis contemplated leaving LSU after is sophomore season, but he returned and the Tigers went 17-15 and missed the post-season. Davis averaged 17.7 points and 10.4 rebounds this season. Last year, LSU advanced to the Final Four.
"My role in this as it has been for other players that have been here is to gather information for him, present him the facts and be supportive of him in whatever decision he makes," added Brady.
