(EAST LANSING) - Michigan State shooting guard Aaron Henry will withdraw from the NBA draft and return to school, he told ESPN Sunday. He said the decision was based off wanting to maximize his opportunity to be coached by the best coach in the game in Tom Izzo and reach his dreams and full potential. The NCAA deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA draft and maintain college eligibility is Monday. Henry, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, was ranked the No. 55 prospect in the ESPN 100. A long, athletic wing with strong two-way potential, Henry will be asked to shoulder a bigger load next season on a Spartans squad that relied heavily on now-departed All-America senior point guard Cassius Winston. Henry's return is a major boon to a Michigan State team that is projected to be a top-10 team in college basketball. Izzo has been on a major roll on the recruiting front as of late, reeling in three five star prospects in the 2021 and 2022 classes, including Emoni Bates, considered arguably the most talented player all of in high school basketball. Henry says there's a reason why Michigan State has been able to recruit and retain so much talent.
