UConn center Josh Boone has said he plans to sign with an agent soon, locking him into the NBA draft and closing the door on a possible return to the college ranks.

According to a report published by the Associated Press, Boone says he's gotten very positive feedback, leading to his decision to turn pro.

"The past two months have accomplished exactly what I hoped they would. They have shown me where I am as a player, and what I need to do to prepare for life in the NBA," Boone said. "I am confident that I am making the right decision, and improving my draft position with each workout and each day."
