Terrence Shannon Jr. is giving it one more go with the Illini.
The fifth-year guard announced Wednesday night he plans to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to Illinois for his final season of eligibility.
Shannon said in mid-May that he would come back to college if he felt the NBA feedback he was getting wasn’t where he wanted it to be.
In his first three years of college, Shannon was a major contributor at Texas Tech, averaging 11 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He even experienced a national championship run with the Raiders in 2019, but joining Illinois for his senior year gave Shannon the chance to reach a new level.
