College basketball teams gained more clarity about their rosters for the 2018–19 season on Wednesday, the final day for players who declared for the draft but did not sign with agents to decide whether they would withdraw their names from the pool or turn pro, ending the suspense for programs that had spent much of the spring waiting to find out whether their key contributors would be back for the fall.To get more basketball news, you can visit shine news official website.

Below we run down some of the biggest winners and losers from the deadline and highlight a few other teams that didn’t fit into either category.
The Tar Heels’ loaded incoming recruiting class—a three-member haul highlighted by Orlando Christian (Fla.) Prep small forward Nassir Little, who’s ranked No. 3 in the 247Sports Composite—would have lessened the blow of forward Luke Maye staying in the draft. Instead, after a stellar junior season that saw him evolve from a one-shot hero into a legitimate star, Maye opted to return to the Tar Heels. That decision ensured head coach Roy Williams would have the undersized five (6'8", 240 pounds) he needs to power potent small-ball lineups and positioned North Carolina to enter the season alongside Virginia as Duke’s main competition for the ACC title.
When guard Barry Brown Jr. declared for the draft in early April, Kansas State faced the possibility of losing the top backcourt player from the roster that won 25 games and upended Kentucky to reach the Elite Eight last season. As a junior in 2017–18, Brown led the Wildcats by logging 34.7 minutes per game and ranked second on the team with 15.9 points and 3.2 assists per game. Although the possibility of Brown leaving Manhattan seemed remote based on his draft projection, losing him would have put a huge dent in Kansas State’s chances of challenging in-state rival Kansas at the top of the Big 12.
To the immense delight of opposing Big 12 guards wary of bringing the ball up the court when guarded by Jevon Carter, the Mountaineers were guaranteed to lose their best player this offseason; 2017–18 was Carter’s final season of eligibility. West Virginia could have lost two other important members of its rotation, Sagaba Konate and Esa Ahmad, but both big men elected to come back for another year. Of the two, Konate should make a bigger difference for West Virginia in 2018–19. Only one qualifying player (Pacific 7-footer Namdi Okonkwo) blocked a higher percentage of opponents’ two-point field goal attempts while he was on the floor than Konate last season.
The Zags did not have to wait long to learn the fate of a pair of promising young forwards that helped power them to West Coast Conference regular season and tournament championships, a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament and a spot in the Sweet 16. Neither Killian Tillie nor Rui Hachimura declared for the draft, meaning they’ll be in Spokane as juniors to headline what could be one of the best teams Mark Few has coached since taking over for Dan Monson prior to the 1999–2000 season. Their choices also mitigate the impact of leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker Johnathan Williams running out of eligibility.
The Razorbacks are set to reap the benefits of one of the most surprising draft decisions of the offseason. After arriving at Arkansas last year as a top-40 recruit out of El Dorado (Ark.) High, Daniel Gafford blossomed into a potential first-round pick over the course of his freshman season on account of his rebounding, rim protection and interior finishing. Rather than cash in on his lofty draft stock, the 6'11" big man announced in late March that he would play at least one more season in college—a massive boost for a Razorbacks team reloading its backcourt following the departures of senior guards Jaylen Barford, Daryl Macon and Anton Beard.
