Deng Adel is reportedly heading back to Louisville for his junior season, as a source told Jon Rothstein of Fan Rag Sports that the standout forward has withdrawn from the NBA draft.

Adel was third on the Cardinals in scoring last season, pouring in 12.1 points per contest while adding 4.5 rebounds.

With fellow wing Quentin Snider also returning for 2017-18, Adel's decision certainly projects Louisville as one of the top teams in the country, and among the favorites to win the NCAA championship.
