Wednesday was the deadline for college underclassmen without an agent to either commit to the 2018 NBA Draft or return for another year of NCAA eligibility.

Here are the top 20 prospects heading back to school:

Player Position School 2018-19 class
Udoka Azubuike C Kansas Junior
Tyus Battle G Syracuse Junior
Ky Bowman G Boston College Junior
Tyler Cook PF Iowa Junior
Terence Davis G Ole Miss Senior
Carsen Edwards G Purdue Junior
Bruno Fernando F/C Maryland Sophomore
Jarrey Foster G SMU Senior
Jaylen Hands G UCLA Sophomore
Sagaba Konate F/C West Virginia Junior
Charles Matthews G Michigan Junior
Markis McDuffie F Wichita State Senior
Shamorie Ponds G St. John's Junior
Jontay Porter F Missouri Sophomore
Admiral Schofield F Tennessee Senior
Chris Silva F South Carolina Senior
Nick Ward PF Michigan State Junior
PJ Washington PF Kentucky Sophomore
Lindell Wigginton G Iowa State Sophomore
Kris Wilkes G UCLA Sophomore

None of the returns are surprising. Other top NCAA prospects, like Daniel Gafford and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, never chose to enter their names into the draft pool in the first place.
