Today, May 29th, is the NCAA deadline for college basketball players to withdraw from the NBA Draft and be eligible to return to school next season. There are a number of impactful Big Ten players that have either declared or declared then withdrawn or hired an agent and declared and sometimes it can get confusing to keep track of. And it’s important to keep an eye on this stuff as it will help give us a picture of what teams are bringing back or losing professional talent.
Hence the need for this list. It lists all of the players for each school that have either declared for the draft or were considered NBA prospects that eschewed the draft for one more season in school.
