LSU fourth-year junior forward Tasmin Mitchell told ESPN.com on Sunday night he plans to withdraw his name from the NBA draft and return for his senior season with the Tigers.

"I’m going back to school," Mitchell told ESPN.com’s Andy Katz. "I’ll take care of (the paperwork with the NBA) Monday."

2theadvocate.com | Mitchell says he'll return to LSU for senior season. Word had gotten out that this was coming down. It is, of course, huge news for the basketball program, which needed Taz back if it was going to have any hope of being competitive next year. As it is, the team will have an uphill climb with only 2 starters returning.

That is awesome...

I am looking forward to seeing how Trent Johnson will handle a year w/o all of the talented players we lost. Having Tasmin back will be a great plus for the Tigers.
