Today is the deadline to declare for the NBA draft. According to reports by ESPN's Jeff Goodman, Newman will not be declaring for the draft, future still uncertain though?
Mississippi State's Malik Newman, the heralded 5 star recruit from Callaway High School in the 2015 class, will soon be required to announce whether or not he will be returning to school for his Sophomore season. Several weeks ago, Newman announced he would declare for the NBA draft without hiring an agent - a new stipulation implemented this year that allows players on the fence about forgoing their college careers to declare for the draft and go through workouts and the combine to receive evaluations and then decide if they want to return to school or leave for good and await their fate in the draft.
