Forward Brendan Bailey has decided not to return to the Marquette basketball program and to pursue his professional basketball career.
Last month Bailey announced that he was entering the NBA draft without an agent, maintaining his eligibility to return to Marquette, but now he is fully committed to moving on.
In his sophomore season in 2019-20, Bailey averaged 7.1 points, 1.1 assists and was second on the team with an average of 5.2 rebounds per game.
In a statement, Bailey said the past two years at Marquette have been “incredible,” and that he would like to thank his coaches, teammates and the entire Marquette community.
