Here is the latest Pac-12 Conference sports news from The Associated Press

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State junior big man Romello White is joining teammate Remy Martin in declaring for the NBA draft. White announced his decision two days after Martin declared for the draft. A 6-foot-8 power forward from Atlanta, White was Arizona State's main inside presence as a junior. He averaged 10.2 points while consistently facing double teams, shot 57% from the floor and grabbed 8.8 rebounds per game.

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington freshman Isaiah Stewart has declared for the NBA draft. Stewart's decision to leave Washington after one season was anticipated even before he set foot on campus. He arrived to huge expectations that he would further Washington’s resurgence under coach Mike Hopkins but the season became a frustrating mix of underachievement by the team and close losses. Stewart was named to the All-Pac-12 first team after averaging 16.6 points and 8.7 rebounds in the regular season. The forward is projected as a mid-to-late first-round pick in the draft.

UNDATED (AP) — A diversity report for graduation rates among potential NCAA Tournament teams found a larger gap between white and black men’s players from the previous year. The racial gap on the men's side had declined the past two years in studies by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida. The institute annually examines graduation rates for men’s and women’s teams invited to the NCAA Tournament. It used final bracket projections from ESPN as a substitute with the tournament canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic. The study also found male players continue to lag behind their female counterparts overall.
