LSU freshman forward Anthony Randolph has hired an agent, forfeitting any future eligibility with LSU.
Randolph declared for the NBA draft a week ago but said he had not hired an agent and did not plan to soon.
One LSU player told The Daily Reveille on Tuesday that Randolph had hired an agent.
Will Marsaw, Randolph’s cousin and adviser, told The Times-Picayune that Randolph will be using the services of Wasserman Media Group to represent him – in particular agent B.J. Armstrong.
Rumors linking Randolph with Armstrong and Wasserman Media Group began to circulate days before Randolph denied hiring an agent during his declaration for the draft.
Senior Associate Sports Information Director Kent Lowe told The Daily Reveille everything being reported about Randolph hiring an agent appears to be true.
“We wish him well. We wish him the best of luck,” Lowe said. “We were glad to have him here for a year.”
Marsaw told The Times-Picayune that Randolph is currently working out in California.
A poster on an internet message board wrote he saw Randolph on a flight from Dallas, his home town, to Los Angeles on Sunday.
