NORMAN, Okla. -- Once Blake Griffin stopped and really thought about his future, it didn't take long for him to reach a decision.
Griffin announced Tuesday that he will give up his final two years of eligibility and head to the NBA after a sophomore season in which he was honored as college basketball's top player. It was a choice coach Jeff Capel called a "no-brainer," with Griffin establishing himself as a likely candidate to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft this June.
