HUNTINGTON — Jon Elmore withdrew from the NBA Draft on Wednesday morning, but it turns out that was only a portion of the good news for the Marshall men’s basketball program. Elmore isn’t only returning for the 2017-18 season — he has the option for two more years of college basketball. Marshall learned late Wednesday afternoon that Elmore has received a release from the original letter intent he signed out of high school, which restores a year of eligibility.
Marshall announced earlier Wednesday Elmore had opted to withdraw his name from the list of early entrants into the NBA Draft.
