From the Montgomery Advertiser:
Alabama junior Alonzo Gee became the latest Crimson Tide basketball player to apply for early entry in the National Basketball Association draft, joining teammates Ronald Steele and Richard Hendrix.

Sunday was the deadline to apply for early entry. Players wishing to renounce their remaining eligibility had to have the letter into the NBA office by April 27. They have until 4 p.m. on June 16 to apply in writing to withdraw their name from consideration from the June 26 draft.
They may rejoin the college ranks as long as they have not forfeited their eligibility by signing with an agent. Neither Hendrix nor Steele signed with an agent and Gee is not expected to, either.
"Alonzo came to me and expressed his desire to explore the process," Alabama coach Mark Gottfried said, "and I will assist him in any way possible."
