Gilchrist Does Not Submit Name to NBA Draft

Coach Stan Heath is smiling a little bit more tonight.
From Greg Auman - Stan Heath is smiling tonight with news that junior power forward Augustus Gilchrist has not submitted his name among the 69 underclassmen who submitted their names for the NBA Draft process.

Gilchrist got an evaluation from NBA scouts and has decided he won't submit his name to the draft. This is huge news for the Bulls. Gilchrist will graduate this summer and there is an outside chance, although unlikely, that he could try to play overseas, but for now there is a big possibility that he will return to USF next season.

Gilchrist was the only Bull last season that averaged in double figures and would be a big weapon returning for the Bulls that have added some big time players in this years recruiting class. Bringing in two post players and two athletic and scoring guards, the Bulls will look to improve on their terrible 10-win season. Gilchrist will be a leader on the court and will be an experienced scoring presence for Heath, if and once he returns. He hasn't officially stated he is returning and something strange could always happen, but for now, pencil him in lightly to come back.
