Quoting the new NCAA rule for eligibility and entry to the NBA Draft:
According to NCAA Proposal No. 2010-24, “student-athletes interested in 'testing the waters' of the NBA draft [are required] to remove their name from consideration before the first day of the spring National Letter of Intent signing period.”
April 10: NCAA Early Entry “Withdrawal” Deadline
April 29: NBA Draft Early Entry Eligibility Deadline (11:59 pm ET)
May 3 or May 4: NBA Draft Early Entry Candidates Released
In definition terms, this basically states that players have until April 10th to WITHDRAW from the draft to MAINTAIN eligibility. So basically, this is an elimination deadline, anyone entered is definitely gone. Even if a player hasn't made it known, he still has until April 29th to announce, but would no longer be allowed to return to college.
