Alex Oriakhi’s transfer options may be limited by the bylaws of various conferences throughout the country, such as the Southeastern Conference.

Oriakhi completed three years of eligibility at UConn. The SEC requires prospective transfers to have more than one year of eligibility remaining.

SEC schools Florida, Kentucky and Missouri had been mentioned as possible destinations.

Bradley Beal is returning to St. Louis this weekend to huddle with his family and decide whether to return to Florida for his sophomore season or declare for the NBA draft.

“I know it's going to be a hard decision for him,” Beal's father, Bobby Beal said Thursday.”Some people say (leaving) is a no-brainer, but I know that he loves college, loves the atmosphere down there.”

Beal, a 6-foot-3, 207 pound shooting guard, is a consensus top-5 pick.

“We'll sit down as a family and weigh all the pros and cons and try to come to a decision,” Bobby Beal said.

Chris Walker cut his list of possible college destinations to Kentucky, Florida, Kansas, Ohio State and Baylor.

Walker, a 6-foot-10, 195 pound combo-forward out of Bonifay Holmes County in Florida, is ranked as one of the top 10 prospects in the class of 2013.

He is expected to announce his decision soon.

Anthony Bennett has narrowed his list of schools to Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, UNLV and Washington.

"A lot of pressure is now lifted off of me by cutting my list down,” Bennett said. "Now I can deal just with those schools and watch the teams play and how the coaches coach their team. I feel like I took a step a step forward in the process."

Bennett, the top unsigned power forward in the country, is ranked No. 7 overall in the 2012 class.

Patric Young, who averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in 33 games with the Gators, told reporters Thursday that he intends to return for his sophomore season instead of entering the NBA draft.

“That’s always great news,” Gators coach Billy Donovan said. “I think Patric has learned a lot this year. I don’t think this year was as easy for him as I thought it was going to be. I think a lot of times when you’re a player that’s in a role, and all of a sudden you go from a role to a primary position, your impression of what you think your role is going to be like might not match up to it.

“I think Patric ... probably realized he’s here to grow, and he’s much better today than he was a year ago. I think next year he would be even better than he is this season.”

Young is projected as a late first-round pick in this year's draft.

Bradley Beal hasn’t decided if he’s going to declare for the NBA draft.

“I have no clue,” he said. “I haven’t even really thought about it at all.”

Beal is a lock for the top-10, but he is still weighing his decision.

“Either way it goes, if I leave, I still played a great year of college,” Beal said. “I enjoyed it. If I stay, it’s only going to make me get better. Either way it goes, I’m gaining something positive out of it.”

Vanderbilt defeated Kentucky by a final score of 71-64 to win the 2012 SEC Tournament.

The Commodores limited Kentucky to 35.9% shooting from the floor.

John Jenkins was named Tournament MVP and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by teammate Lance Goulbourne, Kentucky's Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones, and Florida's Bradley Beal and Erik Murphy.

Anthony Davis of Kentucky has been named the SEC Player of the Year by both the Coaches and AP. John Wall also received both honors during his freshman season at Kentucky.

Davis was also named Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.

Joining Davis on the First Team All-SEC is teammate and fellow freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, freshman Bradley Beal of Florida, Dee Bost and Arnett Moultrie of Mississippi State, as well as John Jenkins and Jeffery Taylor of Vanderbilt.

On the Second Team All-SEC are Kentucky's Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb, Alabama's JaMychal Green and Trever Releford, B.J. Young of Arkansas, Erving Walker of Florida, Justin Hamilton of LSU, Terrance Henry of Ole Miss and Jeronne Maymon of Tennessee.

Also on the All-Defensive Team with Davis is Kidd-Gilchrist, Reginald Buckner of Ole Miss, Damontre Harris of South Carolina and Taylor.

Joining Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Beal and Young on the All-Freshman Team are Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of Georgia, Anthony. Hickey of LSU, Rodney Hood of Mississippi State and Jarnell Stokes of Tennessee.

Darius Miller of Kentucky received Sixth Man of the Year honors.

Bradley Beal sprained his ankle midway through the second half of a 74-59 loss to Kentucky last week.

Beal limped to the bench after stepping on an opposing player's foot, but returned to the game several minutes later.

"It's a little banged up, sore right now," Beal said. "I think I sprained it, but I think I should be fine going into the tournament."

Florida has three players who could be playing in the NBA next season.

Freshman shooting guard Bradley Beal is expected to be a top-10 pick while sophomore Patric Young and junior Kenny Boynton could also test the draft waters.

"Patric Young is a great energy guy," said one NBA scout. "He makes your practices better because he brings it every day.”

Beal is averaging 14.7 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds per game

"Brad Beal has the best upside of the three of them," he added. "He's going to be a really good player at the two spot."
