DRAFT - Corey Sanders Returns To Rutgers

Matthew O'Haren-USA TODAY SportsThat was close. Just as it seemed that Corey Sanders was about to turn pro, he is now officially back...again. After waiting to make a decision right up unitl Wednesday’s deadline, Corey Sanders announced today on his social media account that he is in fact returning to Rutgers for his junior season. It was late March when Sanders announced he would test the waters for a second consecutive year ahead of the NBA Draft.

Rutgers basketball fans should be truly thankful and can now rejoice in his return.
