FAYETTEVILLE -- Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford announced Friday that they're entering their names into the NBA Draft but not hiring an agent.

By not hiring an agent, Macon and Barford have the option of returning to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville for their senior seasons.

Macon and Barford, both 6-3 guards, have until May 24 -- 10 days after the NBA scouting combine -- to withdraw their names from the draft.

An NCAA rule passed last year allows players with eligibility remaining to enter the draft, get evaluations from pro personnel and go through workouts -- including taking part in the scouting combine May 9-14 in Chicago if they're among the invitees -- and withdraw their names as long as they haven't signed with an agent.
