After deliberating for the last two months whether to stay in Provo or officially opt in for the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft, BYU big man Yoeli Childs announced Tuesday evening that he will return to the Cougars for his junior season.
“These last two years I’ve spent at BYU have been incredible,” Childs wrote in his Twitter post. “The culture here is special and BYU has the best fans in the country. From teammates to coaches to fans it really feels like a big family.”
Childs said after several weeks of discussing the decision with his family, those close to him, NBA executives and through prayer, the choice that was “the best decision for my future and my family” is to return to BYU.
