Hours after being ruled ineligible by the NCAA, Hurricanes junior forward Dewan Hernandez announced he will withdraw from the University of Miami and prepare for the 2019 NBA Draft.
The NCAA announced on Monday that Hernandez must sit out the remainder of the season and 40 percent of next season for “entering into an agreement and accepting benefits from an agent.”
“I was advised of the NCAA’s decision about my eligibility and am very disappointed with the outcome. I do not believe that the NCAA treated me fairly, and it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to withdraw from the University of Miami to prepare for the 2019 NBA Draft,” Hernandez said in a statement he posted on Twitter.
