While speaking at the Senate Chamber during Husky Day about this past season and then his future, Jim Calhoun said Wednesday, "I haven't made my mind up about anything of that nature, but [players] will be in good hands no matter what."

Calhoun later said he has no timetable for a decision on whether to return for the 2011-12 season, which would be his 40th season in Division I and 26th at UConn.

"There's no rush," he said. "Last year I had to rush. This year, I don't have to rush. The minute the horn went off and we won the national championship, I had to find out what is best for me, where I feel most comfortable and if I wasn't coaching,what I would do."

Jim Calhoun is expected to have to return his postseason bonus and make a contribution to the university’s general fund if the Academic Progress Rate for the program does not meet NCAA standards.

According to the five-year contract extension Calhoun and UConn agreed upon in May, Calhoun is to receive a bonus equal to three months of his annual salary for winning the NCAA championship. Calhoun’s base salary is $350,000 (he makes nearly $2 million more in speaking and media fees), so that bonus, which would be paid in August, would be about $87,500.

However, the contract also stipulates that such a payment would only be made “if the Academic Progress Rate (APR) ... for the men’s basketball team has been satisfactorily met.” UConn should learn in a few weeks whether it meets APR standards, but it’s a virtual certainty that the program will fall short of the standard score of 925.

Georgetown sophomore Hollis Thompson has entered his name into the NBA draft but will not hire an agent, according to the school.

He has until May 8 to pull his name out of the draft to retain his NCAA eligibility.

West Virginia forward Kevin Jones will declare for the 2011 NBA draft but will not hire an agent, according to older brother and advisor Gerard Jones.

The 6-foot-8 Jones ranked second on the Mountaineers with 13.1 points and first with 7.5 rebounds per game.

A study by Rivals.com revealed that the Big 12 has lost the most underclassmen to the NBA draft.

From 2006-10, the Big 12 lost 28 underclassmen to the draft, followed by the Pac-10 (24 early entries), the Big East (24), the SEC (22), the ACC (21), Conference USA (15) and the Big Ten (9).

Kentucky, Memphis and USC have had the most early entries with seven each.

Texas tops the Big 12 with 6 early entries.

Syracuse University forward Rick Jackson has signed a player-agent deal with the Wasserman Media Group.

On Wednesday, Jackson said he would be represented by former NBA player and current NBA player agent B.J. Armstrong of the Wasserman Media Group. WMG is best known as the company featuring super-agent Arn Tellem.

Armstrong's best-known client is Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose.

Connecticut guard Kemba Walker confirmed he will skip his senior season to enter the NBA draft.

“There’s a lot of speculation about me going to the NBA,” Walker said as he began his press conference. “I want to confirm everything. I’ll be giving up my senior season and going on to the NBA.”

Walker thanked his teammates, his family and his coach.

“I want to thank coach (Jim) Calhoun for turning me into a man,” Walker said.

Walker averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.5 assists in leading UConn to the national championship.

“He’s just completed the finest basketball season in the history of this university. One-hundred and eleven years, I believe it is,” Calhoun said. “He’s done everything humanly possible, in my opinion, that he could possibly do including a national championship.”

UConn junior guard Kemba Walker is expected to announce at 3 p.m. Tuesday that he'll enter his name in the NBA draft.

Walker is projected as a late lottery or mid-first round selection in the NBA Draft, to be held in June.

Walker averaged 23.5 points, 5.4 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 41 games as a junior. He scored 30 or more points 11 times, a UConn record, and is seventh on the Huskies' career scoring list with 1,783 points.

Statistical wizard Ken Pomeroy crowned Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger the tempo-free player of the year.

Sullinger posted a 120.4 offensive rating while using 27% of the Buckeyes’ possessions while he was on the floor. The Buckeyes’ center also ranked in the top 50 nationally in both offensive and defensive rebounding percentage, and fouls drawn per minute.

Pomeroy calculates his rankings using offensive rating and possessions used, as well as Dean Oliver’s measure of individual defensive stops.

UConn’s Kemba Walker (.521), BYU’s Jimmer Fredette (.487), Duke’s Nolan Smith (.472), Purdue's JaJuan Johnson (.450), San Diego State's Kawhi Leonard (.421), Wisconsin's Jon Leuer (.419), Texas' Jordan Hamilton (.401), Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor (.391), and Kentucky's Terrence Jones (.390) rounded out the top ten.

Freshman forward Anali Okoloji has decided to transfer from Seton Hall, the school announced today.

The Brooklyn native, who came to the Pirates from Impact Basketball Academy, in Florida, appeared in 16 games last season as a freshman. Okoloji, a 6-8 forward, averaged 1.9 points and 1 rebound in 3.3 minutes per game. He scored nine points against NJIT on Dec. 19, his career high as a collegian.

“We wish Anali the best of luck in his future endeavors,” Willard said in a statement released by the school. “By transferring, he’ll be able to get the increased playing time he desires. We thank him for his hard work last season at Seton Hall.”
