McDonald's All-Americans Ndudi Ebi of Westbury Christian and Kendrick Perkins of Beaumont Ozen are keeping their names in the NBA draft.

Thursday was the deadline for players to remove their names from consideration for the June 26 draft.

Texas Tech forward Andre Emmett decided to pull out of the draft and return to Lubbock for his senior season. Emmett led the Big 12 in scoring at 21.8 points per game last season and was a first-team all-conference selection.

Ebi and Perkins can keep their NCAA eligibility if they are not drafted by following amateur rules and not contracting with an agent.

Beaumont Ozen coach Andre Boutte confirmed that Perkins, the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 4A player of the year, will not keep his commitment to the University of Memphis.
