Michigan guard Charles Matthews will return for his junior season after having tested the NBA Draft waters this spring, the school announced Wednesday in a press release.
“I am thankful for the assistance Coach [John] Beilein and the staff has given me in order to gain as much information as possible before making this decision. They showed great confidence and patience with me while I sorted this all out,” said Matthews in the release. “After much prayer and discussions with my family and the staff, I am excited to be returning to Michigan next year. I learned a lot throughout this process, but my main focus will now be completing my education at Michigan and leading my teammates to more success next season.”
