    Yep, Terrance Morris is going to remain in school for his senior year. I really admire the guy for doing so!

    CINCINNATI — Freshman DerMarr Johnson will leave Cincinnati to enter the NBA draft, The Cincinnati Post reported on its Web site Wednesday.
    "I had a long talk with D.J. in which we discussed his options, and I understand and support his decision," coach Bob Huggins said in a statement obtained by The Post. "It was great to have DerMarr in our program, both as a player and as a person, if only for one year. I am sure he will remain part of the family and, like our other guys, return often."

    Johnson, a 6-foot-9 shooting guard, was the Bearcats' third-leading scorer, averaging 12.6 points. He was voted Conference USA Freshman of the Year and was a third-team all-conference selection.

    "This was really a hard decision because the people at Cincinnati have been so good to me," Johnson said. "In talking things over with my family, I realized that this was something I needed to do for them. Playing in the NBA is something I've wanted to do for the last three years. My year at Cincinnati has prepared me to take this step."
