PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University men's basketball forward Robert Franks announced today that he has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and will return to Washington State for his senior season.

"We are glad that Robert got the opportunity to test the NBA waters," WSU head coach Ernie Kent said. "We are excited to have him back for his senior season and continue to contribute to this program."

Men's basketball student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to put their name into the NBA Draft process, but maintain their collegiate eligibility as long as they don't hire an agent, and declare by April 22.
