With rising NIL budgets enabling some players to earn more money playing another season of college basketball than by turning pro, we're seeing more and more All-American-caliber players opt to return to school.
When combined with a loaded 2024 high school class and arguably the most talented group of international newcomers, men's college basketball is very healthy when it comes to high-end talent.
North Carolina's RJ Davis is the first ACC Player of the Year to return to school since Tyler Hansbrough in 2008, while fellow AP All-Americans Mark Sears, Hunter Dickinson, Caleb Love and Johni Broome are all back too.
