The 2024 NBA draft withdraw deadline has passed and college basketball retained many key stars - including UConn's Alex Karaban, Alabama's Mark Sears, and Arizona's Caleb Love. More surprising were the returns of Hunter Sallis to Wake Forest and Payton Sandfort to Iowa, keeping even more star power in the game next season.

Today is Wednesday, May 29, a.k.a. NBA Draft Early Entry Withdrawal Deadline Day. The deadline is set for 11:59pm ET and there are still multiple big names on the board that need to make a decision, but JT Toppin has already he announced he is returning to college. He won’t, however, be headed back to New Mexico. Instead, the rising sophomore will join Grant McCasland’s Texas Tech Red Raiders. KJ Simpson (Colorado) and Jonathan Mogbo (San Francisco) are both staying in the draft. Villanova finally got some good news in the form of leading scorer Eric Dixon deciding to return for a sixth year of college. The same goes for Wes Miller and Cincinnati who get Aziz Bandaogo back. Leif Thulin joins Isaac Schade to share a draft profile on Reed Sheppard.

News dropped on Memorial Day that Trevon Brazile is planning to pull out of the NBA Draft and return to college. The only question is…which school? Brazile could return to Fayetteville and new coach John Calipari. The Hogs have only used eight of their 13 scholarships and could really use a nice Power Forward. Brazile would fit just perfectly. But if he doesn’t want to come back to Arkansas, there will be no end of suitors lining up for Brazile’s services. With under 48 hours left to the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, why are so many players still undecided? Also, Andy Patton and Isaac Schade say goodbye to the legend, Bill Walton.

News broke on Sunday evening that DJ Wagner is headed to Fayetteville, Arkansas to join Coach John Calipari and his Kentucky teammates Zvonimir Ivisic and Adou Thiero (plus the incoming freshmen of Boogie Fland, Karter Knox, and Billy Richmond. Will Wagner give the Hogs the point guard skill set they need? Perhaps, but the Hogs should target one with one of their five remaining scholarships.

Chaz Lanier, last season’s most efficient scorer per Synergy, has committed to Tennessee over Kentucky and BYU. The move further elevates Rick Barnes team and gives them a dynamic scorer, similar to what they had last year with Dalton Knecht.

The deadline to withdraw from the NBA draft and return to college basketball is less than one week away, and we discuss the players whose decision will have the biggest impact on college hoops - including Villanova's Eric Dixon, Wake Forest's Hunter Sallis, Alabama's Mark Sears, and Arizona's Caleb Love. We also discuss players in the draft as well as the transfer portal, including Coleman Hawkins, JT Toppin, Trevon Brazile, Arthur Kaluma, and Jaxon Robinson.

Kyle Neptune and the Villanova Wildcats were dealt tough news when Max Shulga decided to return to VCU and his longtime coach Ryan Odom, rather than play for 'Nova out of the transfer portal. Neptune's squad is already in rough shape and could struggle to finish in the top half of the Big East, now they desperately needed at least one of Eric Dixon to return or Wooga Poplar to commit to salvage a disaster offseason.
