Any trickling doubt planted in the minds and hearts of Villanova Wildcats fans that the 2016 National Championship game's hero Kris Jenkins wouldn't be returning to campus for the 2016-17 has officially been dissipated. The rising senior forward, who averaged 13.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game and was pivotal for 'Nova down the stretch of the Big East season prior to his unforgettable buzzer-beater, is returning for his senior season.
Jenkins had previously elected to test the NBA Draft process, and nobody could really blame him for it. With the new rules in place, there's no harm or foul in seeing where you're at in comparison to everyone else.
