In a bit of surprising news, Montrezl Harrell has decided that he will return to Louisville

He tweeted this message on Monday afternoon, “Been on my mind heavy but I love the feeling of being a Louisville cardinal and I will be wearing this for the next yr,” with a picture attached of him in his Louisville uniform.

Harrell, who is currently slotted as the 19th pick on Draft Express in a very deep 2014 NBA Draft class, averaged 14 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last year as a sophomore.

“Good decision by Harrell,” a veteran NBA scout told SNY.tv. “He can improve his stock by staying and developing a consistent 15-17-foot face-up jumper this summer.”
