It is in KK's thread but I am too lazy to look it up.

Here's a 1994 article, it still may apply.

The resolution was approved this week by the delegates at the National Collegiate Athletic Association convention in San Antonio. An underclassman who declares himself eligible for the draft will now be allowed to change his mind should he be dissatisfied with the outcome. The player will have until 30 days after the draft to reverse his decision, and may only exercise the option once during his college career.

June 16th is the withdrawal date...

If one stays in past that date there is no returning to school...

I do not think that is the rule anymore. I think once you are drafted you can not come back to school. You lose your eligibility.

You sir are correct...Stay in after the deadline there is no returning to school...

But there was the Randolph Morris story a couple years ago, where he stayed in the draft didn't get drafted, I am assuming no agent was hired, and then went back to play at Kentucky and picked up later in the year as a free agent...Think that loop hole has been nixed now tho...
