NCAA: Top returning players after early entry withdrawal deadline

With the early entry period now over, Rookie Wire took a look at the top returning players to college basketball next season.

The early entry withdrawal deadline passed on Wednesday, and several of the top prospects opted against staying in the NBA draft and returned to their respective schools.

The pre-draft process serves as a tremendous opportunity for underclassmen to get their foot in the door with teams and gain valuable feedback on how they can improve their games. Several players in recent memory have used the process to their advantage and come back the following year even better.

Teams now know which underclassmen will stay in the draft and who will play at least one more season in college. The deadline this year offered some drama. Several individuals took the decision all the way up until the final hour on Wednesday. The decision is certainly an important one and prospects used all of their allotted time to best serve their situation.

With the early entry period now over, Rookie Wire took a look at the top returning players to college basketball for next season who had declared for the draft and tested the pre-draft process.

Note: Those players that did not declare for the draft, such as Armando Bacot or Oscar Tshiebwe, were not included on this list. Players were ordered based on their pre-draft stock.

Baylor Scheierman to withdraw from NBA draft, transfer to Creighton

Scheierman committed to Creighton over the likes of Arkansas, Clemson, Duke and Nebraska among others.

Former South Dakota State guard Baylor Scheierman will reportedly withdraw from the 2022 NBA draft and transfer to Creighton University, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Scheierman, who has two years of eligibility left, declared for the draft in March with the option to return to school. He then opted to enter the transfer portal and eventually committed to Creighton over Arkansas, Clemson, Duke and Nebraska among others.

The 21-year-old was among the prospects that competed in the NBA G League Elite Camp last week in Chicago, Illinois. He went scoreless in his first scrimmage game but recorded nine points, eight rebounds and two assists in his second appearance on May 17.

Scheierman was named the Summit League Player of the Year after averaging 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 35 games last season. He shot 46.9% from 3-point range and was the only Division I player to lead his team in rebounding and assists.

The addition of Scheierman should make Creighton among the favorites in the Big East next season. He was viewed as one of the top transfer players on the market and will only strengthen their program.

Buy stock on the 2022-23 Creighton Bluejays, who just landed top transfer Baylor Scheierman

One of college basketball’s best transfers just committed to playing for the Creighton Bluejays.

One way to build off an NCAA Tournament Round-of-32 loss is to immediately add proven talent. The Creighton Bluejays just did that, nabbing one of the most sought after players in the transfer portal.

South Dakota State transfer Baylor Scheierman announced his commitment to Bluejays this week with a simple message for his new fanbase — “Can’t wait to come home…Roll Jays.”

Home would be Aurora, Nebraska, where Scheierman left to attend SDSU. Now, the do-it-all wing leaves Brookings, South Dakota three years later having led the Jackrabbits in 2022 to both an NCAA Tournament appearance and a conference championship. He also averaged 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists en route to a Summit League Player of the Year Award.

Quite the addition for the Bluejays, if you ask me (a former Bluejays forward).

The 6’6″ smooth-operating lefty will enter a Creighton lineup that featured last season’s Big East Freshman of the Year, three members of the Big East All-Freshman Team and one All-Big East Honorable Mention selection.

The Bluejays’ 2022 season concluded in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after falling to the eventual national champion Kansas Jayhawks, which is nothing to hang their heads about. Especially considering the aforementioned conference freshman of the year, Ryan Nembhard, and honorable mention center, Ryan Kalkbrenner, ended the season on the sideline with injuries.

And while simply running it back minus Ryan Hawkins (yes, another Ryan), would have been awesome, Scheierman’s addition raises the ceiling. The team gets some much-needed 3-point shooting (46.9 percent) along with additional rebounding and playmaking. Enough to make the Bluejays serious favorites to win the Big East, and potentially go farther in the NCAA Tournament than ever before.

Are you optimistic enough to get in on Creighton’s +4000 national championship odds at Tipico Sportsbook?

You should be with Scheierman headed home to Nebraska.

He will have the opportunity to compete with other prospects in front of teams and gain feedback on his potential draft stock. He told ESPN that he would remain in the draft if he can get selected and earn a guaranteed contract.

Prospects that have declared for the NBA draft have until June 1 to withdraw their name and maintain their remaining collegiate eligibility.
