Shane Larkin Will Wait Until Draft Deadline To Decide Future

Shane Larkin will wait until the April 28 deadline before announcing whether he will declare for the NBA draft.

"I'm just going to class right now,” Larkin said. “I have finals coming up, so that's what I'm really focused on."

A 5-foot-11 point guard, Larkin is being projected as a late-first to late-second round draft pick.

Larkin averaged 14.6 points on 47.9 percent shooting last season and was voted the ACC player of the year by the league’s coaches.

NCAA Finds Issue With Miami Investigation

The NCAA revealed on Wednesday that its enforcement staff worked with the defense attorney for former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro to improperly obtain information.

A source told ESPN's Joe Schad the attorney was given a list of questions to ask during the deposition on behalf of the NCAA. 

The attorney then sent a bill to the NCAA for expenses, which NCAA president Mark Emmert said led to questions of the organization's conduct in the case.

The delay in the notice of allegations also means former Miami and current Missouri men's basketball coach Frank Haith won't know if and when he will face any charges. 

CBSSports.com reported Monday that Haith would be charged with allegations of "unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance." Haith has professed his innocence.

Missouri's Frank Haith Could Receive Multiple-Year Show-Cause Penalty

Missouri head coach Frank Haith is expected to be charged with unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.

Haith could have a multiple-year show-cause penalty for violations during his tenure at Miami.

A source told CBSSports.com that the NCAA was unable to prove the allegation from Miami booster Nevin Shapiro that Haith or anyone on his staff paid $10,000 to a family member of former player DeQuan Jones. 

The investigation began nearly two years ago after Shapiro, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for a $930 million Ponzi scheme, told Yahoo Sports that he gave thousands of impermissible benefits, primarily to football players, from 2002 to 2010.
