Hayes to Give Draft a Shot
Georgia guard Jarvis Hayes will make himself eligible for the NBA draft, a decision he announced a day after Georgia suspended Coach Jim Harrick and abruptly ended its season.
Hayes, the Bulldogs’ leading scorer the last two seasons, won’t sign with an agent, meaning the junior could return next season.
Harrick was suspended with pay Monday and the school withdrew from the Southeastern Conference and NCAA tournaments after finding that three players were involved in academic fraud.
