In news that surprised absolutely nobody, a trio of WSU players -- Josh Hawkinson, Ike Iroegbu and Conor Clifford -- have withdrawn their names from consideration for the NBA Draft and will return for their senior seasons, the school announced.
“I’m happy that Josh, Ike and Conor all had the opportunity to explore the NBA and the draft process,” WSU head coach Ernie Kent said. “I think it’s going to not only give them, but also their teammate, Charles Callison, an excellent feel for what they need to do during the off-season and this upcoming basketball season, that’ll put them in the best position to play at the next level.
