Mann withdrew his name from the NBA Draft Tuesday and will return for his sophomore season, delivering some good news for UF coach Mike White during the dog days of summer.
“I want to thank my family, our coaching staff and my teammates for their support throughout this process,” Mann said in a statement released by UF. “I’m excited to come back to UF to continue growing as a player and a person and to play in front of our Florida fans and the Rowdy Reptiles again.”
Following a disappointing first season in college, Mann surprisingly tested the NBA waters.
