Welp. The Big Ten just got a little bit tougher. Michigan's Caris LeVert will forego a shot at the NBA and return for his senior season.

From a certain school just north of Toledo:

"Over the past few months, I have spent a lot of time thinking about my future," said LeVert. "My family and I, along with the coaching staff, gathered as much information as possible. After considering my options, I am excited to announce I will return for my senior year. Coming back allows me to keep working towards my Michigan degree and take the next steps in my development as a player, teammate and a leader of our program. Michigan is a very special place and the college experience only comes once. The future is bright and I am blessed to be part of it."

[...]

After earning Preseason All-Big Ten honors as well as being selected team captain, LeVert's junior season was cut short after 18 games due to a left foot injury and subsequent surgery. Prior to the injury, LeVert was leading U-M in scoring (14.9), rebounds (4.9), assists (3.7), steals (1.7) and minutes (35.8).

Fair play to LeVert.

The deadline to declare for the NBA draft is April 26th.
