Marshall's first-team all-conference guard Jon Elmore will withdraw his name from the NBA draft, according to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

Goodman added that Elmore declared he will be returning to Marshall for one more season in Dan D'Antoni's program, deciding not to use his ability to grad transfer to a high-major program.

The West Virginia native hit new heights this year in a Thundering Herd uniform, punctuated by a first-round upset of the No. 4-seeded Wichita State Shockers in the NCAA tournament.

Across 36 games this season, Elmore averaged 22.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.8 rebounds while posting a shooting slash line of 43.9 percent from the floor, 35.6 percent from deep, and 82.6 percent from the free-throw line.
