The 2024 NBA draft withdrawal deadline passed on Wednesday evening, with a flurry of college basketball stars announcing their intention to return next season. Some were expected, like Alabama guard Mark Sears and Arizona guard Caleb Love, while others were a bit more surprising.
The return from Alex Karaban was a big storyline on Wednesday, as it gives the two time defending national champion UConn Huskies their lone returning starter. Can Karaban become a three-time champion alongside Danny Hurley in Storrs?
Other surprising returnees include Hunter Sallis at Wake Forest and Payton Sandfort at Iowa, two standout scorers who opted for another go-round in college rather than a likely second round selection in June.
