Notre Dame forward Luke Harangody has declared for the NBA draft, ending the speculation about the talented big mans plans, the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

He will not hire an agent, giving him the option of returning to school if his position is not where he'd like.

"I sat down with coach and we discussed factors that went into it and both thought and agreed this would be a good chance for me, with keeping my eligibility, to see where I stand," Harangody said. "Right now, as me and coach said, don?t think we're going into this thing 50 percent. We're going in full speed. We're not going into see if I need to improve on anything. We're going to go in to try and get this thing done."
