Gerald Henderson has officially closed the door on his Duke basketball career by signing with agent Arn Tellem, the school announced Tuesday.
Henderson originally entered the draft without signing with an agent, preserving his college eligibility. But he signed with Tellem on Monday, according to a school news release.
A 6-foot-4 wing, Henderson is the 10th Duke player under Mike Krzyzewski to enter the NBA draft with college eligibility remaining. A first-team All-ACC selection, Henderson led the team in scoring at 16.5 points per game last season as a junior.
Next season Duke will return nine letterwinners, including starters Kyle Singler, Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith and Lance Thomas.
The draft is scheduled June 25 in New York.

Well, thanks a lot Gerald!
Tue, 05/19/2009 - 15:40 — finatic806Well ain't that just friggin great!! We would finally have had a decent team next year if Gerald came back. I swear there is no loyalty anymore at Duke.
Guess I will have to get my head right for just sorry friggin ball at Duke going forward. I will have to be like State fans and just learn to deal with sorry recruits and a sorry team. I really wish K could still attract the marquis players like the old days.
I mean wtf Gerald? It's not like you needed the money...your Father has plenty! I guess that just means you are just weak of character? Thanks to you Gerald we can look forward to being dominated by UNC again, and most everybody else in the top 25 as well. I hope you have a sorry arse career!!
I'm not sure . . .

And, talk about loyalty ("I swear there is no loyalty anymore at Duke."), you might want to think long and hard about YOUR loyalty, not Gerald's.
Selfish
Tue, 05/19/2009 - 16:23 — jpomeranz52So, finatic806, it's all about you and not about the players. You want Gerald at Duke so Duke can win and you can boast to your Carolina friends (if you have any). Get a life. It's about the players not the fans or the schools.
