Nothing like waiting until the last day before a deadline to create a little drama. On the final day the NCAA allowed for college underclassmen testing the waters of the NBA Draft to decide to return to school there were a few notable decisions made.
The biggest surprise Wednesday may have been when Kentucky's Wenyen Gabriel decided to end his college career and remain in the NBA Draft. The news wasn't all bad for the Wildcats as his teammate, PJ Washington, announced he would return to UK.
The college career of South Carolina's Brian Bowen, the former Louisville signee who was a central figure in the FBI recruiting investigation that cost Cardinal coach Rick Pitino his job, is over before it started after he announced he would stay in the NBA Draft. Bowen had little choice after the NCAA told USC he would not be eligible to play next season.
Omari Spellman became the fourth Villanova underclassmen to leave the reigning national champions early for the NBA.
Kansas received good news when 7-footer Udoka Azubuike announced he was withdrawing from the NBA Draft and returning to school.
Here's a complete look at the early college entries for the 2018 NBA Draft with an updated status on each as to whether they have -- or haven't -- signed with agents.
