Hazell and Robinson to withdraw from NBA draft

The Seton Hall duo of Jeremy Hazell and Jeff Robinson will both return to school.

According to multiple sources, Hazell and Robinson – who both opted to declare for the NBA draft – are expected to send in the paperwork prior to Saturday’s deadline to withdraw from the draft.

The 6-foot-5 Hazell averaged a team-leading 20.4 points per game last season while Robinson, who played his first season with the Pirates after transferring in from Memphis, was second on the team at 12.2 points per game.

A third player, Herb Pope, also declared – and is currently in the hospital after collapsing during a workout last Wednesday. It’s unclear whether Pope will receive special treatment from the NCAA due to the circumstances.
