Freshman forward Al-Farouq Aminu, widely expected to enter the NBA Draft in June, will return for his sophomore season at Wake Forest, the school's sports information office has announced. "My family and I feel like now is not the right time," Aminu said in a statement released by Wake. The 6-foot-9 forward from Norcross, Ga., who is listed among the top 15 picks in numerous mock drafts, averaged 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds his freshman season.

jones is gone, but should have stayed. if aminu and teague both stay wake should be a quite dangerous team next year. i would love it if the prevented duke from taking another title. we (unc) likely aren't in the position to stop them this coming season.

The kid can play but it makes sense to return and work on his game a little.

who the hell is jones?
and what do you mean unc isnt in position stop dook or wake? have you seen the roster were going to have next year? especially if john wall decides to committ to unc. (IF he does, unc should be #2 nationally, if not, still top 10)

I think he means James Johnson

UNC will have an amazing and deep frontcourt next year with three or four potential lottery picks in it, but if they don't get Wall (and I don't think they will), their backcourt will be a huge question mark. Dexter Strickland looks like its going to take him a season or two to develop into a solid starter and Larry Drew hasn't looked like a top flight guard in the playing time he got this year. Ginyard should be back to his awesome self, but they will have no one proven coming off the bench.

All of this adds up to...Terps ACC Champs 2010!!! (Hoping Duke doesn't get Wall)
