Keion Brooks withdraws from draft, three possible schools emerge

Keion Brooks Jr. said last week that he was “all in” on the NBA Draft process, adding that the odds of him keeping his name in were “pretty high.”

Now, it appears the former Kentucky forward will withdraw and return to college for his senior campaign. Jeff Goodman was the first to break the news.

USA Today’s Bryan Kalbrosky added that three schools have emerged as top options for the 6-foot-7 forward: Arizona, Notre Dame and Washington.

Coincidentally — or maybe not — Brooks mentioned those three programs as schools of interest in his interview with Travis Branham of 247Sports last week, the same interview he said a return to college was unlikely.
