Memphis Tigers' Derrick Rose One And Done!

Memphis, TN -- According to published reports, Tigers’ point guard Derrick Rose is one and done. Rose who helped lead the Tigers to the NCAA Championship Finals, will reportedly sign with agent Arn Tellem, meaning he will forgo his remaining three years of college eligibility. Rose led the Tigers in assists and was second in scoring this past season. He’s projected by several scouting services, including nbadraft.net as the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

The Tigers could also lose shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts.  The team’s leading scorer is also considering skipping his senior year to take a shot at the NBA. CDR is projected to be a middle-to-late first round pick. A decision from CDR is expected within the next two weeks.

Memphis finished the season 38-2 and lost to Kansas in overtime in the NCAA Championship game, 75-68.

Nobody said you had to be a college graduate to be successful in life!!!!  Maybe the NBA was his dream and he has a chance at it so I say he should chase his dreams....that doesnt make him a failure.  Its never too late for him to go back to college if he wants to later on in life!!!

I think it's a great opportunity even though it's a tough decision. Many people don't get that opportunity. You only live once. You can always go back and continue your education. I wish him the best of luck!

This doesn't come as a surprise.  I wish him and CDR well at the next level.  They and the rest of the team gave Memphis something amazing to be proud of this season, and as Memphis fans we're more than thankful.
