Returning to BYU
Saunders announced Thursday that he is withdrawing from the transfer portal and returning to play for BYU next season, Robby McCombs of Vanquish the Foe reports.
ANALYSIS
Saunders was in the portal for just over 10 days before ultimately reversing course and returning to the Cougars. He made one start in 34 games this past season, averaging 9.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per contest and should have an opportunity to earn an even larger role next year. Saunders will have two years of eligibility remaining.
