UNDATED (AP) — A number of college basketball stars have entered their names in the NBA draft.

Purdue’s Jaden Ivey averaged 17 points, five rebounds and three assists per game and was named to The Associated Press All-America second team.

Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis is regarded as a likely lottery selection as an Associated Press All-America first-team selection and the Big Ten player of the year.

And Notre Dame freshman guard Blake Wesley, a 6-foot-5 guard who averaged a team-leading 14.4 points also tweeted his intention.

Also in men’s college basketball:

— Longtime Miami associate head coach Chris Caputo has accepted a contract offer to become the new coach at George Washington. That’s according to a person with knowledge of the situation who says the school and Caputo were working out final contract details including length of the deal. Caputo replaces Jamion Christian, who was 29-50 in three seasons at the school.
