Seton Hall says three of its top basketball players will return to school instead of entering the upcoming NBA draft.
Assistant athletic director Matt Sweeney confirmed Friday that guard Jeremy Hazell and forwards Jeff Robinson and Herb Pope have filed the paperwork to withdraw their names from the draft, thereby retaining their amateur status.
Pope, who averaged 11.5 points last season and led the Big East by averaging 10.7 rebounds, collapsed last week while working out at the university. Sweeney said he could not provide an update on Pope's condition, citing federal privacy laws.
Hazell was the Pirates' leading scorer last season with a 20.4 average, while Robinson averaged 12.2 points.
