Underclassmen declared for the draft as of 11/30

South Carolina junior WR Bruce Ellington will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft.

Ellington posted a huge game in the school's bowl win over Wisconsin, hauling in six passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns. If he was 50-50 on a decision prior to the game, that performance certainly did not hurt. Ellington, who also played basketball at South Carolina, appears to be in the third- to fourth-round range rather than a top-64 pick.

edit: I think he is the starting point guard on the basketball team.
How does or will this decision effect his status on the basketball team?

As far as I know he is revoking all sports eligibility with the NCAA by declaring.

Underclassmen who do not sign with agents can change their minds and return to school.
If that is true, and I think it is, he should still be eligible until he signs with an agent.

Is it possible to train for the combine and play basketball?

With his accomplishments on the football field and a college degree he completed last month, Ellington has decided to forego his final season of football eligibility to enter the 2014 NFL Draft. So what does any of this have to do with the basketball program?

The news also means that he won't be returning to the program as he did after each of the prior two football seasons."I would like to thank Coach Spurrier, Coach Horn and Coach Martin for giving me the opportunity to play both football and basketball at South Carolina," Ellington said in the school release. "I also want to thank all the Gamecock fans and my teammates for the past four years in Columbia. It's been a great experience and I've been truly blessed."

I have no problem with him declaring now after seeing that he completed his degree last semester.

I like Roberson, good size good speed and I think him being suspended with knee issues will drop him. Todd McShay has him as a late 1st-round pick, he had a horrible 2013 season and I think will drop him to the 3rd. Just my opinion and I hope the 9ers take him if he falls that far.
