Recent NCAA rules allowing players to work with an agent but still return to college basketball have changed how the process works for some considering a jump to the NBA Draft.

Along with that rule change, Florida has been left waiting to find out what starting point guard Andrew Nembhard will do. The wait won't last much longer, with the NCAA's deadline to withdraw from consideration for the draft and retain collegiate eligibility coming on Wednesday.

"He's got a workout today, this evening, tonight," coach Mike White told reporters at the SEC spring meetings in Destin. "Today, I don't know the time. It's sometime today. I don't know if it's for a team in particular, I think it might be an open type workout. If I'm not mistaken it's in (Los Angeles).

"I had a long conversation with his father yesterday. Andrew's in a really good place. He's got a lot of informative feedback and tomorrow will put some closure to a decision."

But whether the starting point guard is leaning a certain direction is unclear. White said he didn't have much of a hunch either way, though he does believe that a move to Europe as a planned fall-back doesn't seem to be in the cards for Nembhard.

Essentially, his decision will boil down to whether he thinks he can make it in the NBA following just one year in college or would be best served returning for his sophomore campaign.

"Ultimately that's his decision. He loved his freshman year at Florida. He loves being at Florida. He loved his experience," White said. "So I don't think he looks at coming back to the University of Florida as any type of negative. So if he were to do that, we'd be excited, he'd be excited. But for right now I think it's just looking for some answers relative to him being a legitimate NBA guy. I don't know that there will be a middle ground for him."

Florida could certainly use his production, though it won't be the end of the world if Nembhard never dons the orange and blue again.

As a freshman, Nembhard averaged 8.0 points, 5.4 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game while running the offense at point guard. The Gators do have five-star signee Tre Mann to fall back on at the position if Nembhard bolts, though.

"With Andrew it's not like it's overly stressful, because you want him to do what's best for him," White said. "The fact that we've got another couple guards on our roster and the fact that there's even a chance that he's coming back didn't allow us really to get another guy. So it's really been a wait-and-see. Not really a stress thing, I guess there's some anxiousness to get to the point where now we will know here tomorrow midday what we're working with and where do we go from there."

Could a strong workout today be the final factor in Nembhard's decision?

"I don't know whether it comes down to this last workout or not," White said. "He went into it two feet in, and I think that's the only way to do it. That would be what I would recommend to him and I did. But he's pursuing it, and if he decides to pull out, he pulls out.

"I've heard from several people he's had a really good spring, not surprisingly. He's had good individual workouts, he's spent a lot of time in the gym himself and with other people that have helped him with his development, some with our staff, of course, when he's in town. He's still doing a good job academically and we continue to get positive feedback. People like him. He's a great player."
