Montrezl Harrell will skip NBA Draft, is returning to Louisville

Montrezl Harrell is returning to Louisville. The 6-foot-8 sophomore, who averaged 14 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season, tweeted the news from his account on Monday afternoon.

Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein confirmed to ESPN that it is Harrell's Twitter account, and Cardinals coach Rick Pitino said he was "very excited to say the least" to have his big man back in the fold.

NBA executives told ESPN that Harrell would have likely gone somewhere in the 15-25 range if he had elected to leave school.
