FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Randy Bonifield Announces He Will NOT Be Entering 2008 NBA Draft

At a press conference in his hometown of Overland Park, Kansas, Randy Bonifield announced today he will not be entering the draft along with University of Kansas players Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Rodrick Stewart, and Russell Robinson.  Instead, Bonifield vowed to focus on improving his game and preparing for the next level when “the time is right”.

“I just don’t feel I’m ready at this point,” he announced to the press in his prepared statement.  “I feel I have a lot more to accomplish and improve on before I take it to the next level.”  Citing previous early entry mistakes by such major stars as Jaron Rush, Kelenna Azubuike, and Winston Kennedy, Bonifield gave good reason for his waiting.

“I still have four years of eligibility and I think it’s better to use that eligibility, improve my game, and enjoy this time of my life before moving on to the ‘big time’.  Additionally, I enjoy the attention I am getting at this level.  The NBA and its millions can wait.  I’ve got to think about what’s best and not give in to the pressure of the financial windfall.  It’s pretty cool being the ‘Big Man On Campus’.  I figure, you know, why give that up?”
