Markell Johnson is back, folks—it’s official. He announced his return to NC State on Friday afternoon. He had until May 29 to make a decision one way or the other, and it’s great to have him back.
So there’s one fewer offseason worry for those of us admittedly in the selfish offseason worrying club. I wouldn’t have begrudged Markell if he decided to stay in the draft, but I’m thrilled to have him back. He’ll be the leader on the team this upcoming season and perhaps he can work his way into the NBA Draft in the process.
