Purdue forward Caleb Swanigan has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will return to the Boilermakers for his sophomore year.
Swanigan averaged 10 points and eight rebounds as a freshman last season. It's great news for the Boilermakers, as Swanigan is a former five-star recruit and the ninth overall prospect of the 2015 class, according to ESPN.
Purdue won 26 games last season and with Swanigan back in the fold, the team should be a force in the Big Ten once again.
The forward will be hoping to guide the Boilermakers further than the first round of the NCAA tournament, where they bowed out after Swanigan was held to just six points.
