Gideon George is likely coming back to BYU after all.
Three days after the news broke and two days after Gideon made the announcement that he would be entering the transfer portal, Gideon has officially removed his name from the transfer portal and plans to return to BYU, multiple sources confirmed to me Wednesday. He is going through the NBA Draft process, but it is likely he returns to BYU for his last season.
Whatever the reasons for Gideon’s reversal, he will be a valuable piece for next year’s team. The Nigeria native played the last two seasons for BYU after transferring from the JUCO ranks.
