Drummond plans to return to UCONN for sophomore seasom

Still plenty of time for him to change his mind, but if you're a Drummond fan boy like myself, this is pretty disappointing.


PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Despite being projected as a lottery pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, UConn freshman Andre Drummond said he plans to return for his sophomore season.

“As of right now, I know I’ll be back,” he told SNY.tv exclusively following No. 8 UConn’s 67-60 loss to Rutgers Saturday. “That’s all I could tell you, I’ll be back.”

Even if you’re a Top 5 pick?

“Yeah, I’ll be back,” added the 6-foot-11 Drummond, who tallied 10 points, 12 rebounds, seven turnovers, two blocks and one highlight-reel dunk in which he took off eight feet from the basket and flushed it.

Meh don't blame him. Can't help but think he will just be another average big man once he enters the NBA.

I've seen him a few times already. Potential is there, and you cant teach size. But he is raw and has a lot to learn before he gets to the next level. We already have that in Biyombo, so I dont think he's for us. For him, it would be best if he stays another year and hones his skills a bit. Will make him all the more dangerous when he does go pro.
